Oh, wait? It's Friday?!?

Sorry I've not been around lately.

See, I was busy HAVING MY MIND BLOWN.

(Also: critiqueing a friend's mss., writing a killer new first chapter of Book 2--which required writing 9 sucky first chapters that I deleted after, distributing 700 yearbooks to students in school, editing and publishing the school's literary magazine, etc., etc., etc. Also, I feel it's bad form to apologize for not blogging, as blogging is the "fun" thing I do and not technically a part of either job I have, but there you have it.)

You wear many hats. Keep up the good juggling and I hope the weekend offers some rest.

I'm so glad you added that last line. I always feel bad that I don't blog more frequently, but you're right; it's an extracurricular fun thing in my writing life. No need to apologize if I'm not the every day blogging type.

Have a wonderful weekend! (Get some R&R)

Love that you referred to blogging as 'fun'. It is our 'hang-out' gig as writers. Enjoy your weekend, Beth.

Whoa, you wrote 10 first chapters! You have been busy, and I'm thrilled to hear now you've got a killer chapter in place. You'll be heading into summer on fire.

Wow, what a week! Hopefully you can go home tonight and just collapse into a comfy chair and take a deep breath and relax. You deserve it :)

ECK! Yearbooks. I know how crazy that can be. One time we got our yearbooks really late because one girls name had been typed incorrectly, and she threw a fit and threatened to sue the school and so they had to tape over the name.
(All right, so she'd been inappropriately dubbed 'Edward Cullen.' So what? :P Our yearbook team was a little... well, okay, they were horrid. *sigh*)
ANYWHO, sounds like a weekend is just what you need!

Yep. LOL.

It's good to keep busy, but I spend waaaaay too much time writing, rewriting, scrapping, and re-rewriting first chapters, too. ;)

Marcia said...

You're apologizing? But you only went three days between posts! :) It's great that you've got chapter 1 now.

As for the Edward Cullen yearbook episode, that would fit great in a novel someplace.

Elana Johnson said...

Yeah, I feel you on all the "other" stuff. But this week has felt like forever. Hopefully next week will go faster!

Lindsay said...

Wow busy week Beth. Get some rest some time. You deserve it.:)
