Continue Unprepared - The first week of back to school
Posted on September 1, 2012 at 8:05am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I usually get something done during the week with my writing. I'll finish a chapter, edit a chapter or post to my blog. I also hang out on Facebook and Twitter and She Writes at least once a day.
Then school started again and the house went nuts! We'd discussed our new alarm settings and the revised timeline was placed on the fridge. Things we didn't count on - missing the bus, a sick dog, the baby pouring a gallon of milk on the floor, meetings that lasted until seven....and the list…

I'm hosting a week of character interviews on my blog, the Vallory V Blog, from September 10th -15th for romance writers of sweet to sensual to erotic. Please contact me if you'd like the Friday or Saturday slot. My idea is to include book covers and buy links on the sidebar to my blog from September 1st through September 15th and run the interviews from the 10th -15th. It should be a great opportunity for added free exposure…

Meg Waite Clayton said… Teicha, We're delighted to have you in the novelist group! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.
And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.
