Randomness...

d parrot
1. DH joined me for yoga this morning (after his spin class) -- other than down dog, he's more flexible than I am. *sigh* Still, I can see and feel my own improvements, so that's good.

2. We finally got something akin to a snowstorm. It lasted a few hours, and we all reveled...and this morning, the sun is out, the sky is blue, and the snow is melting (well, on the sunny side of the street -- our side -- that is).

3. I really love Craigslist. We got an ottoman (which almost exactly matches our sofa) and a bench-like thing recently, and they've greatly improved our overall organization and decor (well, as much as you can improve random decor -- I'd never make it as an interior decorator). I only wish you could get built-in bookcases through it. ;)

4. I'm feeling twitchy about my writing. I have a book which is probably not that far from being submission (query) ready, and for some reason, that makes me...uncomfortable. I also have an idea percolating -- sigh. I do love to write, and I especially love revising, but sometimes the entire process can be a little intimidating. It's hard to put myself through it again.

Any random happenings in your world today?

Happy Tuesday!

Flexi-man ... I am envious. I have my weekly yoga tonight. I am about as flex as a 2 by 4.

I wager that all writers have the same feelings. Sort of a "is it ready for the world yet" feeling.

I unloaded a bunch of stuff on Craiglist on my last move .. a significant downsizing... some peopl got a great deal ... worked out well for all.

That's why Craigslist is nice :)

Writing is exhausting, heh...

I love the writing part (and feel some weird combo of lost/depressed when I'm not writing) but the trying-to-get-published journey? UGH!!!
What's the book that's almost submission ready about?

It's a re-telling of one of Mary Stewart's romantic suspense novels.

I love romantic suspense! But I've never read any of Mary Stewart's novels. If you'd like an extra set of eyes on it (from someone who hasn't read the original MS book), I'd love to help out, Robin :)

That would actually be wonderful! Did you do your rewrite? I'd love to return the favor :)

That rewrite has been put on hold :) I'm planning on getting back to it as soon as I've gotten the book I'm working on now in good (read: agent-querying ready) shape. Don't worry about returning the favor--just e-mail your manuscript as soon as it's ready!

The joy is definitely in the writing, not the querying!!

If you ever need second eyes, let me know!

I might take you up on that :) It'll be at least a month, but I'll probably put the call out to a select few (which would include you) to see if there's time and/or interest.

Yay! I'm impressed that you've (again!) managed a feat that most people never accomplish in their lifetime. Another book, nearly finished. Good for you, Robin.

Me, I'm still plugging away... I'm doing the Beta reader thing now, and have signed up for C Klein's Master Class, which begins in March. Bird (feather) by bird (feather), right?

Have you talked with Jennifer about Cheryl Klein's class? I haven't heard the latest, but she was pretty excited about it. And yes, it's one tiny step at a time...:)

Yes. Jennifer's enthusiasm inspired me to register for the class.
