The light at the end of the tunnel

I didn't think I would get here, well I have been, sort of. 
Before the virus I was close to the second book to the Hart series being finished or at least ready for the editors.  I felt ok about it, it has been a long project this second time around, probably had something to do with the fact the my attention was diverted into different directions.

But it was almost there and then I lost a lot of the work. I was devastated, a lot of hard work went into that, so I had to retrieve what I had saved and go from there, yes I have been working on it and today I wrote over 1000 words piecing it together and I can say that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it feels really good.

I stepped over to here as I needed to take a little break from it, I have been working on it all day, but it feels good, feels even better than before the loss of so much work.

Out of every bad comes an even better good. That might not be the right words but I hope you know what I am thinking.

So I'm outting a positive spin on it, I knew it happened for a reason and I accepted the fact that perhaps it was to teach me to back-up, well that and the fact that I had a better story within me.

My intention is to concentrate on it this week and get it to the editor at the end of the week, who, just yesterday asked when the next project was coming forth. 

Last week I also managed to update the website a little, adding a few extra things here and there, When you look at the Crystal Hart Page, I have added a bit of what you can expect in the next book.

I hope that this next book can live up to and even outshine the first. Well that's what I'm aiming for.

Must go and pick up the children from school

Til the next time

Happy Reading

Bringing you up to speed.

It has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog and I wish I could say that I had done something worthwhile.

Or at the very least something substantial, but alas I haven't.  So what have I been doing?

I have been trying some new things for a new look on my website,it is proving to be more difficult than I first thought it would be. It's also taking up way too much time, but when I get there and I do say when, it will be great, dare I say it, it will even look more professional.  An easy option would be to get one of the premanufactured ones that you simply paste your contents into. However that would just be too easy and for some reason I like to challenge myself. WHY????? (I scream)

Of course I am laughing at myself here.

There have been some changes to the website. Be sure to pop on by and have a look.

About a month ago maybe a little longer my son (yes I do love him) downloaded a virus and yes I have mentioned this previously in my blog. My apologies for harping on it, but I have been busy working on the sequel to Hart 2 Heart, the Crystal Hart Series. Before the virus I almost had it ready for the editor and then, POOF! Like magic it was gone.

So I have been busy trying to rewrite what I had lost and it is coming together, scrambled so far but it is coming together. I would like to say that by this time next week I will be able to say, yep! It's ready for the editor. Hopeful thinking. One must stay positive.

I have also been dabbling at the new romance Advertisement for love.

Don't come to me for advice on being focused.

Okay til next time.

Happy Reading.
