Good morning, bloggy friends. This morning I was going to post a character blog to Secondhand Shoes but time is escaping me again. And, I think I need to stare at pictures of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise for more inspiration(Tom Cruise is real fine now that he’s become a distinguished, older gentleman. I love his longer hair, too).
I’m also feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the different writers group I attend either in person and on-line. My heart is palpitating like it does when I read my to-do list. So I’ve got to come up with a plan to be able to stay in the loop without driving myself crazy. Anyone got suggestions how to handle this?
Plus, I made a commitment to read new author books and do reviews for them. However, I read around a hectic work schedule coupled with a finished MS in the throws of some serious editing and rewrites, which means there are times I fly through a book and other times I don’t. It sucks to be a human sometimes. Being a vampire would be so much better.
So, this is an open call for books to read. I want to read your books, people. In my comment area give me your title, please.
Right now I’m ten chapters into Beth Muscat’s book, Infinite. It’s the third book to her series, “Remember the Eyes.” When I’ve finished this one, I’ll be posting a review of all three.
Okay bloggy friends, post your titles in my comment area.

If you like, I'll post a shout out on my blog... :-)
ReplyDelete@Misha: Please do. New Writers Unite! Power to the Newbies!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your reviews!
ReplyDeleteI also look forward to your reviews of the books! You've done some great ones of the others so far!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I also have "Wildflower" that I think you'd like, and "The Bracelet"...
If you want something light to read that you can laugh at check out my book, "It Ain't Heavy - It's The Lite Side" at Amazon.com.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I also have a humor blog at www.debclaxton.com. Thanks for the opportunity to share news about my book.
I don't care what anybody says, Tom Cruise is a hotty. I still love him from Interview with a Vampire. Sound like you have full plate. I don't have any books to offer for your read, but I will let you know if something pops up. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many writing groups you attend, but 2 is quite a lot in my experience. :) Maybe you should lessen the load, so that you'll have more time for yourself. :D After all, that was good advice you gave me about not overwhelming myself. :)

I'm not going to leave you a title because you are already too busy. Just stopped by to tell you that you don't suck at being a human being. Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteTo all: I'll be traveling a total of 24 hours when going overseas. I can read like the wind then. So please...I insist. Not to mention, the first day I'm in Israel, Sweetman will be having mouth surgery. I plan to be on sitting down at the beach. Come on guys?
ReplyDelete@Deb: Thank you.
@Beth: Thank you.
Anyway, you know what they say about getting anything done. Give it to a busy person.
I know how you feel about that TBR pile. Mine keeps growing and I have been throwing in some reviews myself. Not something that I intended to do but it has happened. I will be reading a second book for one of my author friends. I read and reviewed her first one and now she has asked me to do the second one. Sometimes I am excited about it and sometimes I feel like I am under pressure to be as correct as possible about the book.
ReplyDeleteHey, you're doing your best. Keep at it, but don't stress out too much. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed myself. It might be time for a blogging break. haha. Good luck with it all!
ReplyDeleteTo all: I just want to be able to be as much help as I can to other struggling authors.
ReplyDeleteI can relate; my list is long. I have so much I need to do and then the wanna do list gets left out!
ReplyDeleteDo what you can, in small blocks of time. Sometimes it at least makes us realize we have our toes in that door~ Take Care and thank you for your kind comments~ Yes, I'd like to be a vampire, especially today. It is going to be 97 today; heat index will feel like hell. I could be cold, feel like marble...yeah, sounds nice ;D.
Hey, Ella,
ReplyDeleteI do everything in either 15, 30 minute chunks or 2 hour chunks. It works for now.
What a great idea to help new writers! If and when I ever publish mine I will shoot you an email about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah - Tom Cruise never loses the hotness factor. Never.
