So much to do... so little time... and I want a clone! LOL




Ah... ever have tough weeks? This is one for me where I have so much to do... I want a clone! Wouldn't that be cool? Think about it. Two of you. One could clean up the living room while the other one could start dinner. One could write a book while the other one edited everything without having to stop the flow to do it. You can take a nap while your other self ran errands and played taxi to the kids. Yeah... I'm smiling imaging my clone and I living the dream. LOL. Of course we'd probably get into argument and sound like a pair of five year olds. "You do it! No, You do it!"
.
I am also having one of those weeks where storylines are smacking me upside the head left and right. I feel like I've gone ten rounds with Muse Tyson. LOL. So I have to stop, write out the concept, mood of it, and maybe a few pages to 'brain save' it for me. I don't write down everything from A-Z in a book. It's a concept that gets stuck, maybe the names and locations... the first chapter stuff and then once I find the time to come back to it -I start to write and the rest comes. Good news - I believe I have the next ten or eleven books I'm going to write nailed down. Bad news? They won't stop coming at me. I'm going to end up with a few dozen which tells me I need to write faster but I've been telling myself to slow down since I really need to find the time to do things like watch a movie here and there, actually clean my house (don't look at it... I'm pretending it's clean...). I have meant to go clean the bedroom my kids share ( looks like a toy factory exploded in there and who needs to go mountain climbing... just try to cross their bedroom from one side to the other ). Mt. Saint Doll Houses and the Junk Cars hill will take care of that urge. LOL. So... again... I want a clone. One of us needs to get in there with a box of trash bags and a bulldozer. I'm thinking SHE should do it since I did it last time. LOL.
.
So on the book front - Tempting Rever is coming out May 26th!!! I am really happy to say that. I am going to have good news soon to tell but I can't give it to you yet - it involves Zorn. That's all I'm going to hint to you. LOL.
.
I am making a book trailer for Propositioning Mr. Raine and will have that out... as soon as I find music I like for it. I love all kinds of types of music but if you've seen my book trailers you are aware that I kind of like to use rock/metal/fast beat type for them. Well, this book is a contemporary western, logic says I should use country music... I like some of it... not a huge fan of a lot of it... but I haven't been able to find a song that 'fits' this book that I like. So... hunting for music in my free time. I'll find it. I'll put it together and then I'll post it on youtube and link it up to the blog and website.
.
I should be getting a release date any time for Melting Iron. YIPPEE!!! I don't have a blurb but I do have a video that I'll post on here and I love the music for this one. So... have a good week and when I have news... I'll be back.

  1. Lots and lots of news Laurann - and I'm with you on the clone front - I so need one. WOnder if I put the clone of a diet and exercise regime while I wrote 'my' book, if we'd both lose weight LOL!!

  2. Mel, LOL. I'd love to find out on the weight loss thing. Dieting sucks! I have to lose 23 pounds more to my ideal goal. Not too skinny but can fit into my favorite jeans I was able to wear until 2 children ago.

  3. Oh yes-- so many books to write and so little time! Wouldn't it be nice to have a double who could do all the other work while we just write!
    Good luck with it all.

  6. Cari,

    Uh oh... I've seen some of those UPS drivers and she may have run off with him to some romantic getaway so she never shows up at your house. LOL. WIP overload, at least we're not alone, huh? Thanks. It's been hectic in all the BEST of ways!!!
