And what's wrong with taking a few days to recharge by contemplating the best way to scan a cat? Sounds pretty Zen to me.<br /><br />BTW, I see my "sister" Ash was here.

Design a new bookmark or postcard only to give it up when the design site doesn't cooperate. <br /><br />Yesterday I addressed postcards to promote my first mass market paperback (coming from Sourcebooks June 1st) I finally know what writer's cramp is! Wow! It has nothing to do with the wrist. It's actually the fingers that hurt. <br /><br />It seems that today I'm procrastinating with email. I know what I need to be doing. Polishing book 2 in the series and outlining book 3, simultaneously. I'm not sure which is going to get touched today. I hope I can get book 2 out of the way first, but there are new things cropping up in book 3 that I have to foreshadow in book 2. Sigh.<br /><br />Well, I'm getting back to work now...as soon as I finish my email.<br /><br />AshHot Ash Romance Novelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10633691302884163101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610176045745812052.post-55129201424879313182010-03-03T21:57:14.068-08:002010-03-03T21:57:14.068-08:00Your blog really grabbed me.

When I get stuck, I play cards on the computer, and sometimes it actually works. I should ask my son what he does. He's a master at procrastination. When he was 18 he bought a book on it. He's 39 now and hasn"t read it yet and he's a writer.<br /><br />LOL. I spent half the day putting off writing an article for a blog. Still haven't done it, but I do have an outline now.<br /><br />Can I borrow your cat?<br /><br />Joan K.

I have yet to discover the perfect method of getting her to come down.

Of course, the rest comes along with him. I have no idea why, cannot explain it, but the haunting music in Phantom stirs my muse and the words just flow. And this happens every time I listen to the music....<br /><br />Cute footprints by the way.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.com
