November 2009
Wow, it's been a hell of a couple of months! Sorry to disappear for so long, but we found out two days before the end of August that we had to move -- on September 1! It's taken the last couple of months to move our family and our daughter's family, and then to get her old house ready to sell, and then we had a couple of weeks of flu in there to contend with. (sigh) And then there was all the requisite fall school stuff, like football -- and my son played on two different teams, his Midget team as well as middle school, so we had half a dozen practices and two games a week. I can't wait until he turns 14 so he can drive himself to practices! (Yes, country kids can still get a license to drive to school activities -- yay!)
Halloween saw a decent candy harvest, but all the rain has caused Mr Robin's corn and soybean harvest to proceed at a snail's pace. Normally we're done by this time, but right now we're only 1/3 finished. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for some warm, dry weather, please!
November isn't shaping up to be that great a month either -- all the moving of households aggravated a shoulder injury I suffered years ago, so I'm going to have surgery on the 9th. I'll be in one of those black nylon slings with the pillow for 6 weeks, and the doctor warns me I'll be heartily sick of it by the end. Then there'll be 4-6 months of physical therapy. Whee, I can't wait!
On the writing front, I haven't done any. I'm starting to go crazy with unvented muse, but having restricted motion for 6 weeks ought to give me time to write. Doc says I can leave the sling off when I'm in my recliner so I WILL be able to write, if my muse cooperates.
My best news is that Anne Calhoun and I had a workshop accepted for next year's Romantic Times convention, which is in Columbus, OH from April 28 - May 2, 2010. EC Senior Editor Kelli Collins will be joining us to present Revision Quest: Advanced Editing Techniques. We'd originally titled it Revision Quest: Making Your Book A Keeper, and that will really be what we're going for. So if you're going to be RT, drop in and learn how we do that thing we do!
See you next month!
