Here’s to VikLit’s Celebrate the Small Things weekly blog hop.
This
week I’m thankful for:
- Although a friend who’s separated from her husband has been living with me for the last month in my one bedroom apartment, and she talks A LOT about herself, it’s been mostly good this week. God’s working in me, again, to not be depressed about my reduced privacy time. (I don't think she will, but I pray she doesn't read this post!)
- My CP has been giving me lots of encouraging words (plus plenty of suggestions for rewrite time) about my WIP, Anticipating Dawn. I still hope to complete the first draft before the year’s end. (I love the serial killer - well not him, but - he's completely sick!)
- I’ve done yet another interview, this time focusing on Salted With Fire, on Conversations Live .
Congrats on the interview and your novel's progress. So kind of you to help a friend and God will bless you. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheena-kay. It was a shocking situation to learn they might be divorcing, and so it was a something I had to do.
DeleteYou may have reduced privacy now, but I'll bet you will miss her when she is gone.

I don't know... I'm one who places great value on privacy time and on two-way conversations.
DeleteI love that you love your serial killer, that's great! He sounds interesting :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! He actually had a small part in the book. His story winds its way throughout.
DeleteMy copy of Salted with Fire arrived whilst I was away, thank you for the giveaway. Enjoy your weekend, I hope you manage some time for yourself and best wishes to your friend I'm sure she appreciates your help.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne- I got your email. I'm glad you've received the book, and of course I hope you enjoy it. Had fun while you were away?
DeleteAll serial killers should be 'sick' - LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, giving up privacy is hard, but I'm sure she'll be appreciative.
Congrats on the interview!
Yeah, that's true Yolanda, but some are more crazy than sick. This guy is utterly sick, it shocks me!
DeleteThanks Nancy for sending me a E copy of Salted with Fire which I won on your blog. I am looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got it okay. Hope you enjoy it Rachna!
DeleteYour friend would drive me nuts. LOL!
ReplyDeleteAt times I feel like I may go nuts with the conflicting emotions. She's nice as all that, but you know how hard it is when you'd prefer to be alone?
DeleteHey Nancy,
ReplyDeleteOne moment, please. Argggghhhh!!! blog hops! Sorry about that. However, I feel much better. Phew! :)
Your reduced privacy time will be but a passing phase. I'm sure your friend will have a number of positive chats with you. Get her to clean your apartment for you.
"CP"? "WIP" HELP!
A live conversation. Okay, time permitting, I'll endeavour (endeavor) sorry English spell check, to check it out.
Y'all have a peaceful weekend.
Gary and POB! :)
Glad you got that out Gary. :) Yes it will be a phase, it's just hard women when you don't see the end of it. But she does straighten up the place.
DeleteI think I add the acronyms just for you to give you practice!
Here's to more privacy in your (near) future! Glad you are enjoying your WIP, that's always a huge plus when it comes together how you want it to =)
ReplyDeleteYes it is a plus!
DeleteHopefully you get that privacy increase soon! (and that she doesn't read this)
ReplyDeleteCP's are awesome, I'm glad you are working and getting it done. Completely sick characters? Nice! lol
:) They bring spice to the story.
DeleteIt's very generous of you to give your friend a place to stay. Divorce is very stressful and I'm sure she needs all the help she can get. Somehow, I missed the fact that you wrote horror. I wish you good luck on making that serial killer as scary as possible! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's still hard to consider myself horror - guess my view of horror has been quite narrow.
DeleteIt is generous of you to help your friend while she's going through a tough time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vik!
DeleteGlad you got encouragement on your manuscript.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you need to borrow some ear plugs, let me know.
:) Got me some earplugs, but it's easier to just close my door!
DeleteWell, you've been busy. I'll try to hit that interview.
ReplyDeleteI understand "company." I've had some for way too long now and am ready for my own privacy again.
I just keep saying, "It will all work out for the best."
M.L. Swift, Writer
I keep telling myself that too, and that God's teaching me things... hopefully I'll learn whatever it is. :)
DeleteIt is very hard to share our space, routine and preferred lifestyle with others. It is a good teaching moment; you are so wise and patient to look at it like that.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your interviews and tours-- very exciting.
