It’s been a busy few days (okay, when is it not busy?). Thursday, I started working on one of the new books I sold last month. Actually had a funny moment — I’d thought that I’d written two to three chapters on this one earlier, but they weren’t with the printed-out synopsis. So then I thought perhaps it was the other book that didn’t sell for which I’d written some chapters. So I did my writing plan (how many pages I wanted to get done a day) based on starting from Page 1. So it was a nice surprise when I fired up the laptop and saw I had indeed already written three chapters (48 pages). Yay! I wrote six new ones, and I’ll return to it probably Tuesday because…
Friday hubby and I traveled to do Christmas with my parents.
Yesterday, I had my local RWA chapter holiday party and had to start proofing the Romance Writers Report (I’m the editorial liaison this year).
Today I need to finish the RWR proofing and send in my edits.
Tomorrow I have to drive to the other end of the state to do an interview for an article I’m writing for my part-time magazine job.
I finally finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl last night. I’d been reading this tale of Mary Boleyn, the sister of Queen Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second wife, for what seemed like forever. I actually did like it, but for some reason it just took me a long time to get through it. European history hasn’t been my favorite segment of history before, but now I’m interested in Henry VIII and his wives. I think the next book of Philippa Gregory’s I’ll read is The Constant Princess, about Henry’s first wife, Katherine of Aragon.
