Off for the weekend!

Yup, that’s right, I’m off to visit the family this weekend so I will be out of touch. Heading out tomorrow (got the day off work – HA!) to see my dad for Father’s Day. Should be good, I’ll get to see everyone, at least for a short time. Only bad thing is that I’ll have no time on the computer to keep writing. ARGH! Not that I’ll be completely Net-less, but I’ll be limited to my iPhone for everything.

So that also means today is my Friday! Yay! LOL! So happy about that fact, if for no other reason than a four day week is so much better than the forced five day work week. I can sit out on my balcony and laugh at all the people as they scurry into work tomorrow morning. If I feel like getting up early enough to watch them scurrying into work of course.

Tonight’s plan is to finish up some laundry, do some writing and then chill. Get in a good night’s sleep before I bolt out of bed tomorrow, run around like a chicken minus it’s head, and hopefully not forget anything of importance. In other words, my phone charger. Did that once, will never, EVER do that again. The horror of not having a charger, over Christmas break no less, when going into a mall to get a new one is the last thing on your mind. Thankfully though someone had a spare to lend me so I at least had that small connection to the cyber world.

Well, that is it for now. I shall wish everyone a lovely weekend. I hear my end of Canada has a bunch of rain in the forecast, ugh! May the rest of you have great weather ~ Moira

Time’s a draggin’

Ugh. It’s a long weekend up here in Canada this weekend. But it’s taking so-o-o-o long to get here! Why? Oh why couldn’t it have been Friday already? Ugh.

I desperately need one of these. One where I’m not dashing out of town to help out the parents. One where I can just be in my jammies all the time and to hell with any need to go outside. One where I might actually get all my cleaning done early so I can enjoy the entire time stress and worry and anything else free. Ah, now there’s a lovely thought.

In other news I’m getting close on my WIP. I hit a speed bump a few days ago and had to do a fix to get it rolling again. I don’t know what I was thinking trying to write while utterly exhausted, not very smart at all. I do not write well when my brain is mush. But! I’m back on track once more and it’s going well once more. I might be a smidge behind my original schedule for completion but I don’t think it will be by much. Finish it up this weekend, do a little polishing and the ever important spell check and then submit.

I may end up waiting until Tuesday to submit, the Monday being the official holiday here, but other than that I shouldn’t be more than a day behind on my “plan”. Ha! Like I really ever have a plan lol! Well, I think that’s it. Sushi is on the menu tonight so I’m outta here folks ~ Moira

Happy Easter!

Since I will be sans-computer this weekend (I know, it’s horrible!), I thought I would send this out now. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and gets to eat way too much chocolate. I plan on indulging, heavily, since I won’t have a computer (ARGH!) and am really hoping it helps to keep me from wigging out.

Not placing any bets there, but I’m hopeful. I will be with my family and, while I love them all, they drive me to drink. Often.

In other news, just sent off the cover form for my latest accepted book by Evernight. This is the one that will be out in June. It is (tentatively) titled: Dangerous Times, C&M Security. It is book one of a five book series I currently have planned. There will be four books and then a prequel that will come out either part way through the series or right at the end. Not sure how I plan on mucking up your reading list yet but I will do it in a way that has you twitching. Promise.

I think that’s about it. I have a few things yet to finish getting ready for my early morning (ugh!) departure. So I think I will go do that, veg in front of the TV for a little while and then hit the sack. Good night, have a marvellous weekend, and I’ll see you on the flip side. ~ Moira

It’s practically

The weekend! Holy hell, thank you great calendar gods! This weekend honestly could not come quickly enough.

Yes, I know there is still Friday to survive. But I’ve made it this far this week, which was horrid and a half at work, so one more day I can handle. Probably with a lot of caffeine and, when that quits working, lots of alcohol.

Been doing absolutely zero writing this week. Too damn tired by the time I get home to even try to think of anything. Thankfully my characters are being considerate and, beyond a couple low grade murmurs, have been leaving me in peace. Unfortunately I see that coming back to bite me on the ass this weekend when I am well rested once more and settle in for a writing session. On the other hand, it could be good, to get the story in progress done.

But that is later, one more day to survive at the old grindstone. With that thought in mind I do believe I will get some sleep. Night all! ~ Moira

Nothing much

Going on here tonight. Just mucking and messing around. Working on potential book number two. No real clue what it’s about yet just in that stage of getting a few ideas on paper, okay it’s a word doc – same diff, and trying to figure out who my character might be for this ride.

So far I have a gal who thought she knew who she was only to have it all ripped away and rearranged into what her life becomes. Then there’s the guy, he’s got presence and a whole lot of alpha going on with a hint of vulnerability. Pretty much how I like all my guys. In my head I see him as knowing just who he is and where he’s going in the world until she shows up and scrambles his brains. Whereas she doesn’t have a clue who she is until she finds him and then she’s on a mission.

No, this isn’t like a Mission Impossible thing – great movies though – but more of finding some sort of purpose I guess. Anyway, it’s still in the early days, very much a new born babe if you will. And, honestly, I never truly have any idea where something is going until I’m on the road with the characters and suddenly discover I’ve been kidnapped and have no choice but to keep riding along. Yes, my characters like to hijack my perfectly planned ideas and add in their own twist on things. Pretty sure a lot of authors could say the same.

Well, that’s it for tonight, I think I’ll go see what havoc I can create by starting this puppy. Have a good one all ~ Moira
