On the run...

I am running around tonight, as expected, trying to get everything in order for tomorrow. I'm doing laundry, packing and, of course, trying to watch television at the same time. I know, I know, television is not a priority. But that show, Lost, looked so darn good I couldn't stay away from it.

I'm leaving Corporate America tomorrow at 2:00, swinging by to pick up Stacy G. and then we're off! I just trying to remember everything. The most important being the books, of course!

A couple of other things...
-the most helpful thing for The Silver Spoon (at least so far) has been having that short little tag line. You know..."Everybody has bad days. But for Zara Mitchell that means someone's trying to kill her and she's lusting after an alien. And that's just Friday..." It's so nice to be able to summarize the book in a couple of sentences, getting across the scifi, the romance and the humor all at once. Right now, I'm struggling with to come up with one for Bitter Pill. I technically don't need it yet, but how cool would it be to have that to put in query letter? Such a snappy opening might really help. So, since I did the first one for a class assignment, I'm probably going to go back and review the assignment to see exactly how I got there. Once I get a few options, I'll post them here and see what you guys think : )

-newsletter. I haven't forgotten about it!!! For all of you who've joined but haven't gotten one yet, I promise I'm working on it : ) I'm struggling a bit with what the newsletter is about. I'd envisioned being able to share all these great recommendations of movies, books, television, etc with strong heroines. But unfortunately, I'm not finding enough time to read or watch these things to provide recommendations. So, it may change a little bit in the future. But we'll still be offering great guest columns, writing tips, inside information behind The Silver Spoon, hints of what's to come and much more. So, stay tuned!

Okay, I have to go. The laundry needs to go in the dryer. If I don't get a chance to blog tomorrow, please think of me tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. and wish me luck. I feel the ice weasels slithering in... : )

Talk to you tomorrow (I hope!)
