Saturday Status 12/8/12

Hap­py Hol­i­days! Grab some egg nog, or a hot tod­dy and curl up this week­end. I hope you’ve got a great book on your TBR pile, and I hope all of your Chrits­mas shop­ping is at least in its final stages.

Work in Progress News ~ I crossed the 23 mark on Take the Wheel. I’m actu­al­ly get­ting a few good writ­ing days in here and there. Just not enough to fin­ish the thing. I’ve got two more scenes to write and I’m done. Go me!

Favorite Song of the Week ~ I just love The Piano Guys. They need to make an entire Christ­mas album for me.

 Tweet of the Week ~


Indus­try News ~ Big news! The Kin­dle Store is offi­cial­ly open in Cana­da! I’m not real­ly sure why Ama­zon did­n’t do this years ago, but bet­ter late than never.

What I’m read­ing ~ By Chance by Cat Grant. A friends to lovers GFY. “Inde­pen­dent Eric does­n’t know the first thing about being in a rela­tion­ship, much less with a lover who can’t even admit he’s gay. But con­ser­v­a­tive Nick can’t seem to find his way out of his own per­son­al clos­et. Rock, meet hard place.”

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ This one is con­fus­ing. “summe.blode.sexe.com”. I searched it myself, and could­n’t find my site in the first few pages of results, so that poor Googler was deter­mined! And prob­a­bly disappointed.

Book Snip­pet ~ From For a Price, a lit­tle exchange between Mau­reen and Nicholas:

What are you doing?” she asked through a smile.

Try­ing to wake you up.” His voice was low, almost a whisper.

I didn’t want to sleep in the first place. It’s your fault, so leave me alone.” She tried to sound irri­tat­ed, but when he laughed, she couldn’t stop her grin.

It feels good to wake up with you next to me.”

Mau­reen opened one sleepy lid. The room was still dark, the sun hadn’t risen. “What time is it?”

I don’t know. Does it matter?”

She thought about that. “No, I guess not.”

I plan on spend­ing every minute of the com­ing day with you. I thought I’d get an ear­ly start on it.”

That’s it for me. Have a great week­end, stay warm out there!

Whadd'ya think?
