What Have I Been Up To?

So nice of you to ask…

A whole lot of nothing so it seems, but if I break it down, my schedule has been just as crazy as ever.

This has been the month of plays and recitals (well, April/May) with my son playing Gideon in his high school play the SAME weekend I scheduled the Susan May Warren conference. But good thing she loves high school musicals (though not as much as football, I’m sure) because she tagged a long with me and had a good old time. The next weekend I was in charge of concessions on one of the play nights. Lots of fun. Lots of work.

The Creative Writing classes I’m teaching have written a play and are putting it on.m MY brilliant idea was to ask the kids if they wanted to write a play, they said YES. Now we’re trying to pull it together for Friday! We could use all the prayer you can spare! Good thing this is the last week of school. Though homeschooling may continue through May and beyond!

Then my daughter had her dance recital last weekend and my son has cello this and cello that! He’s done with his normal lessons, but the extra concerts and auditions threw a curve into my schedule.

Writing? You want to know about my writing? Well, there’s nothing to tell. After the Susan May Warren conference I basically stalled big time, trying to figure out what I wanted to write. It seems I have a lot more to learn about writing a romance so, for a while I shelved my 50,000 word WIP. Go ahead and say it with me…YOUCH! But “the book of my heart” story wasn’t flowing so I decided to go back to the romance. I think with more study and a little (okay, maybe a lot) of help, I can make it work. My agent and Susie are behind me on this and say it’s a good story. I just need to figure out how I want to tell it!

And in my weightloss story…I’ve made a breakthrough. 7 lbs. and counting, but that’s another story for another day!
