Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

I’m over at the Mavens today blogging about how sometimes the writer’s life is like an episode of Lost (Please no spoilers. I haven’t watched the finale!)

Also the fabulous Lacy Danes is wrapping up our anniversary week at Naughty and Spice

And over at SFC Raine is blogging about….NOT. Really go check it out!

I dont know about ya’ll but it’s been a hell of a week. Summer is here; the kids are out of school in a week and I’m ready for some time away from this computer. I feel a hiatus coming on–a real one!

Apologies for the totally PSA blog post!

The incomparable Brenda Novak is guest blogging at Southern Fried Chicas today about her new series. Stop by, weigh in, I’ll be giving away a copy of her new book TRUST ME–I figured since I’m off to order myself one, I might as well share the love!

Also don’t forget. I’m guest blogging at Caridad Pinero’s today and giving away a copy of Nailed.

And Friday I’m guest blogging at the Manuscript Mavens! (I almost forgot!!!) I’m sure there will be more book love so stay tuned!

Ever have one of those days where you forget something but can’t remember what you keep forgetting?

Well that’s been my entire week.

No writing yesterday–I’m not surprised. We had basketball again last night and I got up so early yesterday by the time I took the kid to practice I was bleary eyed, so I read instead.

Probably no writing again until Monday and here’s why:
a) I have page proofs on NAILED due Tuesday. I’m not done.
b) I’m one of the contest coordinators for our chapter contest and we’re gearing up to mail out judges packets (Sunday).
c) I have an RWA Chapter meeting Saturday and I’m the secretary (I also can’t find my notes from the last meeting and I have to type up the minutes
d) I have a book signing tomorrow with Denise, Mik et all. I have one inch of white roots. Guess what I’m doing tonight?! Yeah.
e) I have to do the second round of edits on Ropers Rule (Saturday night I hope).
f) Spend Sunday with Lynn putting together judges packets…oh and clean tonight so my house doesn’t look like a complete pigsty when she comes over.*note to self: buy candles*

can I please be excused from the planet this weekend? Thanks. I knew I could count on you.

In the mean time, if you’re bored, Raine is on her soap box again at SFC…and the Manuscript Mavens CYOA is still going on!

Okay ya’ll it’s time to vote….head on over to the Manuscript Mavens and read my installment of our Valentine Adventure….and don’t forget to vote

I’m going to choose the adventure that sends me back to bed now

My new single title mom-lit about a basketball mom who kills referees who anger her just with the power of her loud shreiky voice. She’s also developed the ability to completely mortify her son, piss off the refs, and embarrass other parents in a single screech. Look for it soon from STFU Books.
