Poor, Poor Christina–The Life of a Writer

I have hours and hours of work that must get done by Friday. I have a deadline then, see, and will be subbing tomorrow so I HAVE to make myself buckle down and get this “job” done.

And what, pray tell, is my duty for the next day or two?

To READ!

Tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. A large publisher sent a manuscript to me for a possible endorsement! So excited to push my editing jobs, housework, and laundry aside to dig into a good book. At least I hope it will be good, otherwise I’ll follow the social wisdom of, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all.”

Here’s wishing you all good reading!

    LOL! I can so relate. I have huge TBR stack that’s of my own pleasure I don’t have time to get through, and then there are the books I must read for reviews.

    Top that off with my own writing and the critiquing of my CP’s works.

    OH, and volleyball season starts next week. Oy Vey!

    But, as Donna was always fond of saying: It’s all good!

    Thanks, Christina, for the mention. With all the busyness at this time of year . . . and writing, too, it’s hard to squeeze it all in. Thanks for taking the time to read Chasing Lilacs.

    Praying you get everything done.

    Hugs.
