I Totally Knew What Day It Was (Sort Of)

Life in Motion

So maybe it was 10:15 before I remembered it was Monday and I probably should blog. Duh.

I’m at the office with Biker Dude today. It’ll probably be a 12 hour workday. Fun stuff. (See me rolling my eyes here?)

I finished writing UNWRAPPED, my Samhain novella, over the weekend, and turned that into Evil Angie. One project done! :boobie:

This week (after my ungodly long day at the office today) I’ll be working on revisions for RIDING WILD that I received in the mail last week. Hopefully I can get those knocked out this week. Hopefully.

My son and his family should arrive sometime Saturday night, so I’d like to get caught up on work by then (really, I’m never caught up and won’t be for about a year. But I’m pretending I don’t know that. :giggle:)

And I have a million things to mail at the post office. Really, I am going to try to do that this week. Thank you for being patient. And I’m still waiting to hear from some contest winners. I know I had lots of contests recently, so check through the blog posts here. You might have won and I don’t track people down. I’m too busy (and too scatterbrained). So in other words, you snooze, you lose.

So this week’s To Do List looks something like this:

1. Revisions on RIDING WILD for Berkley

2. Post Office

3. Clean up extra bedroom for arrival of #1 son and family

4. Clean up other bedroom for arrival of #1 son and family

5. Clean up house (it’s a mess)

6. Grocery shop (Having food in the house would be good, huh?)

7. Work on plotting next Berkley Heat book. (I have an idea. :sasmokin:)

That’s all I can handle this week. What’s on your list?

Contest Winners, Guest Blogging and Misc.

Giveaways, Life in Motion, My Book Stuff, Promotion, Writing & Publishing

Thanks to everyone who helped make Shannon’s birthday so fun! I had Shannon draw a winner from those who posted on the blog that day. The winner is CHRISTY H! Christy, please email me at jaci @ jaciburton. com to claim your print copy of GOING THE DISTANCE!

I’m guest blogging over at WRITEMINDED today, and the Writeminded gals are giving away a copy of SURVIVING DEMON ISLAND and WILD WICKED & WANTON! Go check it out!

I was interviewed by Kelly Para over at Publisher’s Marketplace (thank you Kelly!). You can find the interview here, so please go take a look.

Busy Saturday here. We’re picking up Buddy from the vet’s office this morning (surgery went fine and he’s doing great). We have a pen all set up for him so he can’t run around and hurt himself this time. Hopefully recovery will go well. The Oklahoma football game is this morning too, so we’ll be hanging on the sofa glued to the television (and praying Satellite tv doesn’t go out…it’s storming like crazy here today!). Tonight is Nascar. And I have a novella to finish this weekend, so laptop will be..literally..on my lap the entire time.

Hope y’all have fun weekend plans! We’re stuck in the house because of the rain, but at least we’ll be entertained by sports and a whining dog. :giggle:

Welcome To My Life

General Stuff, My Book Stuff, Life in Motion

The Demon’s Touch is finished. It’s currently….gelling…in a closed file on my computer. (Which means I’m avoiding it right now, debating whether it’s really done and ready to send to my editor, or whether I want to give it one more read through and rip it apart. Again.)

I’m writing Unwrapped, my Samhain Christmas novella set it Hawaii. Woo hooo! Santa, surf and sex! What could be more fun! :boobie: I have GOT to wrap up writing this book by this weekend.

Revisions for Riding Wild, my Feb 2008 Berkley Heat book, arrived yesterday. They’re due back on the 19th. Holy crap. :hide:

I need to plot the next Wild Riders book like…uhhh…right now. Or yesterday. My editor requested a main character change for the next book, which means an entirely new plotline than the one I was going to write next. So I’m under the gun because this book is due to my editor by Jan 1st. Guess what I’ll be doing this holiday season? Besides shopping online.

Biker Dude’s busy season at work is RIGHT NOW. I need to go to the office and help him the next few days. Yeah, I’ve got time for that. Not.

Buddy will be home from the vet’s office probably this weekend. Full time care for him for awhile. Yeah, I’ve got time for that. Not.

#1 son and his fiancée and their daughter are moving to Oklahoma! Woo hooo! Until they find a place to live, they’ll be staying with us. Love them. Adore my granddaughter. She’s 4. I can’t wait until they get here (which should be next weekend sometime). And unfortunately, this couldn’t be the worst possible time to have them here. 😥

Don’t you just love when life happens?

Pass the Xanax. Or a clone.
