I checked my mailbox for the first time all week yesterday. There were two packages from Black Lace in it. One was my author copy of Wicked Words: Sex in the office. (Due out Feb 10 in the U.K and a month later here in N.A) The cover is ok. Not one of my faves though.
The other package was full of their new guidelines, and some cover flaps for CHEEK books, as well as their guidelines. CHEEK is Virgin Books new erotic romance imprint, and they want North American authors for it. It sounds great, and me being a believer in ‘signs’ hope this is one that they’ll like WILLING. If I ever manage to actually write it! :rolleyes:
I’m starting it today! Right now in fact. I do have bits and pieces of scenes I’ve jotted down before…I just have to find where I put them. One of these days I will get organized, but it seems like every time I try, I just get more disorganized. 😥
In other news. I’m frustrated with the whole weight gain /heath issue. I’ve been gaining weight again and I’m feeling pretty yucky about it. So I got serious about two weeks ago. And I’ve been doing well. Working-out at least 4 times a week, eating better, and on Monday, after I worked out and went to the grocery store for good wholesome foods. (I even bought a case of bottled water instead of a case of pop) I feel when carrying my groceries in, and twisted my freaking’ ankle again!! The same ankle I really messed up in June!! So although I went back to work last night, I haven’t gone to the gym again this week yet. I’m thinking maybe tonight…we’ll see after work.
Maybe I should just give in and be fat and unhealthy. :angry:
Congrats on seeing your new cover, Sasha! That’s always exciting!
Oh! I forgot to say that I’ll post the cover and an excerpt soon. This weekend probably. So keep an eye out!!
Yay, on getting copies of your next anthology!!
Don’t you dare, quit going to the gym!! :angry: We’re in this together! Remember?!?!? No quitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sasha-
Congrats on the cover, and getting started on Signs.
As for giving up and being fat and unhealthy.BAH HUMBUG!! You would never be happy if you quit. Believe me, I’ve done my share of dieting, and it sucks. BUT ya know I am determined this go around to not just lose, but be healthy. Just called a local wellness center today to find out about memberships. $22.00 a month isn’t too bad, and I’m sure I spend at LEAST that on pop per month.
I know how it feels to have somenthing stand in your way. I broke my foot in June right when we had opened our pool and I decided I was going to swim 2x a day. Needless to say, my cast didn’t come off until September. CHIN UP,..you can do this!!!
Cookies? 🙂
I love cookies! But uhmm, I actually enjoy excerice too. LOL I just get so fed up with injuries!! The thing is, I’m pretty sure I hget the injuries because once I start excercising, I get into it, and then I do tooo much. Being 240 lbs and working out too hard probably makes my joints weaker, therefore I hurt them easier. Yes, like when I’m just WALKING after a workout. I rarely hurt myself DURING a workout…but afterwards..that’s a different story. 🙁
I just need to start slow, and remember that after 4 years of not traingin everyday…I can’t just jump back into it.
And while I heal, I’ll take some of those cookies. :hehe:
Oh – you know I’m a big believer in signs. And isn’t it perfect that you got the guidelines just when you’re finished with your other book 😉
As for the excercise stuff – blame it on the cold! It’s just a temporary set-back, I’m sure *g* Maybe I’ll send Jake over to give you a SEAL workout 😎
Ohhh,a SEAL workout! *drool*
I think the CHEEK stuff is a fabulous sign… 😉
come to the darksite–no exercise and we have cookies
😛
Congrats sweetie on the books! I got stuff about Cheek too….but I’ve got to finish my current WIP before i work on my Cheek Idea 🙂
Awesome on the packages–I’ll bet getting a your book in the mail is one of the most exciting things…ever!
Sorry about the ankle! :O
Creative christmas!
