What Happened to Monday?

Not sure if you realize this, dear readers, but it’s Tuesday today. I know, I’ve let you down. You rely on my weekly posts to remind you that it’s time to get up and put your work pants on. I’m sorry to have failed you this week.

But never fear, your Monday update is here. On Tuesday.

Who’s really counting the days anymore anyway?

So, this week: Busy. Marketing plans. Content creation. Book finishing. Prizes.

A Case of the Mondays.

Do they call it a case of the Mondays because it feels like you’re experiencing twelve Mondays all at once? No. Hmm. Maybe they should.

This week, dear readers, your second favorite author (hey, a girl can dream) is still writing the fun new story from last week. Some phrases you might see in this new work are: dripping with southern charm, Julia Sugarbaker lambasting, and coolness personified. So that’s fun.

I get to meet with my writers’ group this week. And, I hope I’ll have some more progress on the print version of Turning Point. Watch this space for a launch date!

That’s all I’ve got friends.

Take care of yourselves and each other. And wash your hands.

It’s the Day After Sunday…

Monday. It’s Monday. Call it any clever name you like, it’s still Monday.

This week, I am working on new material. So that’s fun. Like actual FUN!

I am a little stuck with writing Unnamed Book 2, but I have the story line planned. I’m just waiting for the characters to tell me how to get there. Maybe they don’t want to get there and that’s part of the problem. Nah.

But, I did start writing something entirely new. Similar genre, but likely shorter and maybe funnier. I don’t know yet. But I’m a couple pages in and it’s feeling good. It’s an idea I’ve been toying with in my mind for a couple years now, but never had any direction, so I never spit it out. Then, suddenly this weekend, these characters started talking my head off. So, they’re finding their way onto paper now.

I hope Alice and her new beau don’t get jealous. I’ll get back to their story soon.

Enjoy your week, dear readers. Stay well and wash your hands.

And…It’s Monday.

So it seems Monday has rolled around again. Doing my best to post weekly if for no other reason than to mark which day it actually is.

For this week’s edition of “It’s Monday, What am I Doing?” we see our intrepid author tackle paperback formatting.

If you follow me on Instagram: @kristynotkirsty (and if you don’t, you should probably start now), you saw last week I posted a video of the edits that need to be made based on the proof paperback copy of Turning Point. It looked like a lot, but most of it is formatting. Stuff that looked right on screen, but that I saw needed fixing on paper.

And while I’m at it, can I just tell you how amazing the paperback book feels? Like silk. Like butter. Like…OMG I wrote a BOOK!

Ahem.

So, my week is mostly going to be using a fine tooth comb to find every possible issue. And I’m sure I’ll still miss a couple. Just to prove I’m human.

Monday, Monday.

Hello friends. It is indeed Monday. Again. It’s been a while, how are you?

Time for, “It’s Monday, What am I Doing?”

This week, I am rereading The Vampire Lestat. I’m about a third of the way through. It’s slow going because I read at night, and I don’t know about all of you, but I’ve been so tired by the end of the day lately that I can’t read more than a few pages before my eyes just close. I’m enjoying getting reacquainted with The Wolfkiller. And in fact I had forgotten that Lestat was known as the Wolfkiller. There’s so much about The Vampire Chronicles that I have forgotten, which means it’s fun to read these stories again!

I am also working on Book 2. The muse is lingering, mostly just out of reach, but I can see her so I am hopeful she’ll return in full form and ready to inspire very soon.

That’s my Monday. What are you doin’?
