Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

I’ve decided that Monday June 2 is a good day for the second annual Plug A Friend’s Book Day!

I’ll be plugging a friend’s book, or just even a book I love over at SFC. Feel free to join in!

In other news the ONE YEAR anniversary for Naughty and Spice is coming up and we have FABULOUS things a’cookin’! I can’t wait to tell you. Wow what a year it’s been…..

I got 3k words yesterday and I’m editing today…….what about you?

Also found out yesterday that SCREWED will have to be re-titled. When I get a new one, I’ll hollar

*Edited to Add I forgot! Lauren Dane is blogging at NAS today!

Tell me that photo’s not some funny sh*t!!! LOL

In other news my kids have decided the word of the day is Penis. It’s much more fun than calling each other Gay. *sigh* God save me. Which they did the other night, while I was trying to sleep.

See Anne…the meter moved *ggg*

The kids are gone this weekend. I’m writing and we’re getting this contest stuff OUT of my HOUSE tomorrow. SWEET! Okay not tomorrow because we have to go to the post office but….it’ll be ready to go, thank you sweet baby Jesus. BTW Mel if you’re out there, I used that in my proposal and yes, it made me giggle.

So, what makes you giggle?

SCREWED:

see more crazy cat pics

Daylight Savings Time is costing YOU!

That’s right…you heard me. DST which is supposed to save you money, is costing you a whopping $3.19 extra each year in utility bills.

I wonder how much the study to figure that out cost?

SCREWED:

Not much progress over the weekend. Sunday was a wash. Don’t ask what I did because the answer would just be NOTHING. And I do mean nothing.

It’s Monday and I’m not really here. Okay I’m here but I’m also there, talking about stuff I don’t really hate as much as I hate other stuff.

Happy Monday Pookas!!!! I’m over at SFC today taking it down to the bare bones. Stop by and play!

Accountability Update: Saturday I managed about 8 or 9 pages on SCREWED but I got TONS of plotting done which is mega-good. Page count isn’t as big a concern as I’d thought (but my fingers are still crossed. Makes typing kinda hard but we’ll figure something out). I am reminded once again why I said I’d never write suspense. *sigh* My goal this week is 19 pages. I’d like to cross that 100 page line.

Otherwise, I had a lovely afternoon out with Lyn and Dennie (we had to case out places for our May conference–stay tuned because Margie Lawson is coming to down! SWEET!)

Other than writing and plotting and cleaning out the DVR, I cleaned my room *falls down*, cleaned out the fridge, did most of the laundry and cleaned up the laundry area (and chewed the kids out about cleaning up after themselves and doing chores. Old rules are back into effect so look out!).

Also finished Patricia Briggs’ Moon Called–really enjoyed it and will definitely be picking up the next book (yes I KNOW I’m behind–don’t remind me).

And…….last but not least, *sob* my Kevin went on his first date. Okay okay so they’re JUST FRIENDS, but still… and she’s so CUTE!!!!!!!! *sigh* damn…..

So, what’s new in your world?

SCREWED:

Thirteen is my lucky number. I got thirteen pages yesterday including the two I wrote in the AM and still managed to go over some of the page proofs for NAILED Where I found a HUGE ASS mistake that I can’t believe I Missed. Actually, considering it was Christmas when I did edits and I stopped writing MUS to work on NAILED, yes I can but still it was big. Really big. Okay…okay it wasn’t this big, but it would definitely have earned me a mocking email from Sybil.

I’ve got RWA on Saturday as well as a book signing and chapter contest stuff this weekend so it looks grim. I’ll update the meter but probably won’t blog. Probably
