This week was another crazy week at work, which meant most of the week was spent just recovering from my day to day job. 

Then I found a missing chapter in my novel. So I'm working on writing a new scene today. 

I'm starting to get a bit nervous about finishing this book on time. Especially with all of the other projects like the Kickstarter and preparing for the actual book launch. This is exactly what I was hoping to avoid when I set a deadline for the book being ready to print by December. 

Having a full time job, trying to run a household, and still try to grow my career as an author is really starting to take it's toll. I'm simply exhausted most of the time. I'm going to have to figure out how I can best balance all of the things and fast.

There was a meeting this week with a friend helping me to get things right with my Kickstarter, so there was at least a little bit of progress made this week, but right now, I'm living for the weekends to get things accomplished. 

So please send any and all prayers this week for me to have the energy and inspiration and focus to get things progressing. 

I'm Feelin' Good!

Happy Saturday friends!

While I made some good progress this week with edits (and finally sent the document to an editor- yay!), I also took a day off to completely just to relax and NOT have a strict plan to follow for maximum productivity.

I can't even tell you how good it felt. I feel like I finally have more energy and can absolutely plow through things today. And it's only Saturday! Yesterday felt so much like Saturday with all the running around I did!

Not only do I feel more rested, but I also feel like I'm figuring out my own health things, which is contributing to the energy I'm feeling. This week has been fantastic.

Even when I made a mistake at work and had to spend almost an entire day digging through old papers, I'm came out feeling like I had a great workout on my glutes, and wasn't emotionally ruffled, like I normally would have been. I can be so hard on myself when I've made a mistake, but I was just so unbothered by the whole experience.

It's only been a week on this new supplement I'm taking, but it's making a WORLD of difference. I've been taking it in conjunction with another supplement, which is about to run out, and will be the true test of how well it works. If I can use JUST this supplement and still feel this good, you can bet I'll be letting you know!

So that's my big update this week, stay tuned and there will be more fantastic updates next week!

Updated Images!

Happy Saturday friends! This week has been absolutely chaotic, but despite all the things, I managed to get some new scenes written and received the updated images for my characters. I love them!

Just look!!!

These make me so happy!

I can't even tell you how much these characters mean to me. I'm actually starting to get nervous about sharing their stories, because I want people to love them as much as I do. 

It has changed my life so much as I get to know them and have been writing this story. I'm glad that I've had the chance to go through this week and make so many good changes. There are just about 5 months left until the launch!

OH! And I'm not sure if I mentioned this or not, but the Paris trip is delayed...

The castle reached out and let me know that someone else wanted the entire chateau for the week I was looking at. If I wanted it, I would have to sign the lease and send a (quite large) deposit within 36 hours. And while I have had plenty of interest in the trip, I haven't had anyone pay yet, so we are going to postpone until next year.

But I figure that way people will have time to save for it and have a chance to read the book and love the characters as much as I do.

So we are still trying to figure out what the plan is for the launch party. It will involve a Reader's Escape, just maybe not something international. I will keep you posted, though.

Anyways, I'm going to get some more writing done, but I hope you have a marvelous week!

How Did This Week Even Happen?

Wow, I almost forgot to write an update today! Y'all this week has been insane. I can't believe we are already a week into March! It was spent trying to recover from getting sick last Saturday and getting back into "normal" life, which was ridiculously busy. 

Hopefully now we can have a bit more of a "normal" start to the month and keep things moving forward. Maybe. Today is already half gone and we lose an hour tomorrow, so, you know.

In case you couldn't tell, I'm starting to feel the pressure of the 5.5 months left to the book launch, especially where I have not yet started my Kickstarter campaign. 

Don't get sick, everyone, ok? Life turns into some kind of hot mess when you start feeling better. 

On the upside, I have been crazy productive today trying to do all the things. Writing done, Kickstarter updates discussed, living room cleaned, blog post up, about to send exclusive info to my email list...

Speaking of, if you aren't on there, you should be. You can do that over on my website.

Anywho, since there is so much going on, I'm going to keep it short. Maybe by next week I'll have more cohesive thoughts I can share!
