- I am officially caught in the tractor beam of my favorite chair. Today was the first sunny day we’ve had in WEEKS, and it absolutely lit a fire under my fanny to GET THINGS DONE. So I…made a quiche, batch cooked black beans, made gluten free hamburger buns, made an epic batch of turkey meatballs to freeze, did umpteen loads of dishes, emptied the dishwasher, did 4 loads of laundry and actually got them put away (which I didn’t manage last week), mopped the kitchen and bathroom, cleaned the counters, furminated my Big Fluffy (dear GOD, the hair!), bathed Princess Daisy, de-pooped the yard, hosed off my rain boots, tossed a bunch of stuff that needed tossing, put all the winter coats away, and cleaned up after the dog who peed in the guest room for reasons unknown. And then I sat down. :wilts:
- I’m thrilled to report a great week on the word count. 6759 words for the week. Thank you Jesus, I actually feel like I DID something. I had some words every day (though not many today, given that I was Doing All The Other Things). I also did some plotting on another Wishful novel (one dealing with Liam’s brother Cruz) and changed up the plot for a novella I’ll be writing for an anthology this summer. May this be the beginning of a new trend for the year.
- In case you missed it, this week’s recipe was Dairy Free Stuffed Shells.
- My goal for the week is to continue the writing streak and get going on exercise. I’m in a headspace right now where I need someone to tell me what to do for exercise because having to make the decision is just a little more than I can handle post DST at 6 a.m. I totally have all the knowledge, but sometimes you just want workout videos or classes. So, the name of the game this week is The Spartacus Workout DVD. Weights and cardio in one.

After reading your March 11, 2015 progress report, I thought of you this morning when I read the following..

I thought it was a good read, hope you like it too.
I do! Thank you so much for sharing, Cindy!
You’re welcome. I want to start reading your books, where shall I begin?
Well, that depends entirely on what your interests are 🙂
My contemporary romance starts with To Get Me To You (the first in my Wishful series).
If you’re looking for short and sweet, my Meet Cute Romances start with Once Upon A Snow Day (but can totally be read out of order). Once Upon A Coffee is free everywhere.
If you’re more into paranormal romance, my Mirus series begins with Forsaken By Shadow (also part of the boxed set Genesis). It’s also available serialized on the blog. There is also a short story in that series, Blindsight, that’s permafree everywhere.
And then I have my lone YA, Red.
I just downloaded the Kindle App for my iPad. I got “Once Upon A Coffee” free from Amazon.. Thanks!
The giant stuffed shells are inspiring me. I usually use slightly smaller ones, but this is a lovely presentation. Good luck with fitness and writing.
I tend toward really chunky filling, so the small ones don’t seem to hold much. Plus it adds that much more work to filling them and I like to get it done quickly 😀
Speaking of plotting, please tell me you’re still going to eventually do Gerald’s story. Pretty please.
That is the plan. I think he fits into the timeline for next year. This year is Riley and Liam, Reed and Cecily, and Autumn and Judd.
That sounds like last Thursday for me with lots of cleaning and whatnot. 🙂
