  1. Frustrating trip to the post office. Need to send a book to Sacramento but there were no Priority envelopes. There was a LONG line, though.
  2. @Heather_Poole, @VICTORmCAMPOS Lately all I've been tweeting about is my book deadline. Not so fun stuff. Heather's job is way more fun.
  3. By this time next Monday, my novel will be turned in. Hurray!
  4. In dire need of a new pair of red flats. Have to wait until I turn in my novel to shop for them, though.
  5. Due to my drop dead deadline, I've been excused from any major Thanksgiving responsibilities. Thanks, family!
  6. Having a conversation with my sister about Good-bye To All That. She's just finished reading it and she has opinions. Lots of 'em.
  7. Hurray, it's Friday and, no, I won't be going to the movies today. If you know anything about you, you know why...
  8. Closing in on the end of my polish of chapter 1. Chapter 2 gets the same treatment after lunch.
  9. And by tracking down Ibarra and a molinillo I mean driving over to the neighborhood where I grew up and my parents still live.
  10. My sister pointed out that we grew up on Ibarra hot chocolate, not Abuelita. I'll need to track down a molinillo to make it the right way.
  11. Mother forgive me. Just bought a box of Abuelita INSTANT hot chocolate mix. Could have gone for the real stuff, but I'm too lazy.
  12. My car is now washed. As far as I'm concerned I've done all I need to do today. Now I can go back to bed.
  13. What am I going to do with my first day off in three weeks? I'm going to get my damn car washed.
  14. Ate my Snickers before officially finishing but I needed something to get me to the (almost) finish line. Ending total word count, 76,356.
  15. I have a Snickers sitting on my desk. As soon as I hit 'save' on my final chapter, that wrapper is coming all the way off.
  16. Starting and finishing chapter 16 today then focusing on my (gulp) final polish until Nov.30. Estimated words written: 75k in 4 weeks.
  17. Talking slouchy sweaters and ballet flats with my sister and how guys can't see the cute in them. Guys are dumb. A comfy gal is a happy one.
  18. Besides my sanity what's suffered because of my writing schedule is my car. Somewhere under a layer of dirt & dust is a VW Golf. Sorry, car!
  19. Done with Ch. 15. One chapter to go. Then I begin a desperate two chapter a day polish to make my drop dead deadline. Still, I feel good.
  20. Made a good dent in chapter 15 and I'm taking a break to run thrilling errands. Sometimes even I can't believe the glamour that is my life.
