But seriously, no. Nothing for me is ever simple or easy. I'm down to the last chapter on my final read-through on I Choose the Bear and then I send it off to my readers.
I'd planned on getting it done before we had to travel to Florida to kidnap a teenager. Well. We didn't exactly kidnap them. They're a friend of Hooligan's (my youngest) and they've been planning on moving up here for a while. They came from a bad home situation and once they were 18, Hooligan asked if they could move in with us. I said yes.
That was almost two weeks ago. I'd planned on working on the trip because I always do.
But the wreck happened. Everybody is okay, but good grief, my arms hurt. We weren't at fault. I should blame Atlanta. Atlanta traffic is evil. I wanted to stay in Chattanooga. This is what happens when people don't listen to me.
Alas, the wreck and sorting through that, dealing with a very unhelpful rental car company and recovering fried my brain and then there's the new kid settling in.
I still plan on finishing the book by the 31st, but that's where we stand now.
Finalizing addresses, etc
I anticipate getting the first proof ordered hopefully by early September. Once I'm happy with how the proof looks, I'll lock addresses, so make sure yours is up to date by then.
