01/12/2006: "Much better"

Feeling much better today, thank goodness, in large part due to the phone call yesterday with my editor. She loved the suspense novel, had no revisions, and waxed enthusiastic about the rest of the series. So phew and yay.

Oh, and Jordan, I got your note, even though it didn't turn up in the comments. Thank you.

I felt really sorry for the pup. We were both so out of it, and she wanted to play. I wish there were puppysitters on the mountain that we could call to take over when we're unavailable. We didn't even feel up to going down the mountain so she could play with her sister.

But we both slept last night, and today we're getting back to normal. I don't know what we had, but it's safe to say it wasn't the flu.

For those of you who missed it, check back a couple of posts to the one on plotting. Very fascinating view of how different authors attack the beast. Feel free to chime in.

Having blown off work yesterday, I must get ze butt in gear today!

Ah, Glenice, that's very cool. I'm glad you liked Hot & Bothered. It's one of my personal favorites. And thanks, re the no revisions stuff. It's a big relief, since this book is a real change of pace.

Thanks, Kim!

Hi Jo - missed out on a lot this week, sad to hear you weren't well, glad to hear you're better, hugs to you and the puppy.
Good news on the no revisions and the happy editor - loved your story in Love So Tender.
I don't like Patrick Duffy and I think the cover of Minute by Minute is a dead ringer for him. But I keep reminding myself it's the book that counts, not the cover

Hugs

All's well, thanks for the concern, Glenice. Hey, have you read Scent of a Woman? That's another personal fave.

And Sadhb - We're all good and thanks for the hugs. I didn't think of Duffy, but I can see it. Alas, the cover is out of my control. Overall, I've been pretty lucky, but man, I've had some ugly ones. I think Hush made up for at least four horrible covers, though. Thanks, about Love So Tender. That was a fun one to write.
