Long time gone

We've been super busy, learning the photograpy biz, working 12 hour days, driving at least 2-3 of those hours. I'm exhausted. We're not making the money we'd hoped to, either, but hopefully that's a temporary situation while we're learning.

I did manage to cut a 400 page ms down to 200 pages at an editor's request and got it edited and sent off. Now I'm back in the waiting game. In the meantime, I got my first fan mail! A lady read The Christmas Wish, my Woman's World romance story from Dec. 2005 and loved it. Yay! That made my day.

Today is my youngest daughter's birthday. She's now 20, so I'm no longer the mother of a teenager. Last time we didn't have a teenager in the family was in 1989. So I can now say my kids are all grown, they're all beautiful/handsome, and they're smart and talented. Good kids. What more could a mother ask for?

Holy crap that's super busy! Hope things are calming down for you now! =)

Thanks Erica. No sign of slowing down yet. I had to drive 4 hours yesterday, worked 9 hours, on what was supposed to be my day off. Today I have to do an hour and a half conference call for work, but at least I'll be in my own office.

UGH! Driving that much stinks. I LOVED your WW story as well. :) Just what I needed for the day of reading. :)

Thanks for the chat!

I also enjoyed your WW story and love the little twist. Almost makes me want it to be Christmas...almost. It's a perfect day, very low humidity, here in Maine.

Thanks Michelle! It's been hot and humid here. Over 100. You walk outside and you're immediately coated in sweat. Not fun.
