My morning schedule usually goes like this:

1. Wake up

2. Check FB and Twitter in bed on phone to make sure the world hasn’t exploded overnight

3. Shuffle to the bathroom and brush my teeth

4. Make a cup of hot lemon tea

5. Shuffle to the computer

It’s important to note that, at this point, I’m still wearing whatever I’ve worn to sleep. It’s also important to note that my face could be used to grease a pan.

Usually, my husband leaves for work around this time and it’s around 9 to 9:30 that I finally decide that I should not wander around in a state of dishabille. I take a shower, put on some fresh clothes and then guess what?

Shuffle back to the computer.

Then, hopefully some writing gets done, some art gets drawn, some reasonably healthy food gets eaten, and some books get read. To be honest, I lead a pretty darn indolent life. No kids, dual income, three cats. To be quite frank, the idea of being a parent is more than a little frightening. So, to all parents…

YOU ROCK.

My goals for today are as follows:

1. 1.5k new words for HMM #2

2. 1.5k new words for DARK MOON RISING

3. Make editing checklist for THE HANDSOME DEVIL #2

I’ve really got to figure out how to combat my terror of opening up the editorial notes for THD #2. Liquor sounds pretty good. Now, if only I wasn’t allergic to it…
