writo de mayo

well its May 1st. And that means that writo de mayo is on. It's a bit like nanowrimo only its done in May and you pick your own target. My target is to finsih this WIP. Well actually I spent the last two hours, while hubby and kids 2 and 3 went shopping to stick my 3 WIP's into one. Yes its possible.

Kid 1 is still asleep. But then he's 15 and beds aren't to be got out of until at least 1pm on a day when there is no school. Apparantly.

I'd like to sleep in past 2am but cramps forbid that most of the month. TMI but am planning on going to the dr again this week - with hubby this time - and am hoping for a better outcome than "You're a woman, put up with it." or "It's normal. Don't worry about it."

Ummm 17 days out of every 27 is normal. Putting my life on hold for 4 days is normal cos I can't move or go out? Not being able to survive without my heated corn pad tied around my stomach and lots and lots of codine is normal??? Okkkkkkkkayyyyyyyyyy.

Enough of that.

I havent' cast this novelyet. But FMC Beth/Lucy and MMC Jack are demanding my atteniton. Tempted to make Jack older this time, but we'll see. And Beth/Lucy isn't cos I can't decide on a name. She put herself in the WPP thus her orig name is Lucy but she's now Beth. If that makes any kind of sense at all.

So writo de mayo target is complete novel and write 25k at least. depending when the edits for SFM come in.

starting today on 17,600

I'm with you on the kids sleeping in. I'd be happy to sleep past 5:30 most days. I hope you're able to get some answers soon. When things are out of whack, it interrupts so many things! Can you change doctors that would be more intune to your issues and concerns?

Escape to Whispering Creek by Barbara M Britton

ā€œEscape to Whispering Creekā€ Barbara M. Britton   Thanks for having me on the blog again, Clare. Today is my launch day for ā€œEscape to Whispering Creek.ā€ Paperback fans will have to wait until October 31 st  to get their hands on Emma and Wadeā€™s story. Readers will be able to head back to my Tennessee town with Emma. When Emmaā€™s life implodes, she drives to see her bestie Sam in Whispering Creek. Emma hopes to get a job and make some money, but she never expects to fall in love with grumpy Wade. Samantha and Cole from ā€œChristmas at Whispering Creekā€ return in this story, but ā€œEscapeā€ can be read as a standalone novel.   Book blurb: Emma Uranova enjoys her office job until her boss disappears with the investors' money. To avoid the media storm and false accusations, Emma flees to Whispering Creek, Tennessee to live on her best friend' s secluded property. When a temporary position opens up in Nashville, Emma leaves small-town anonymity to pad her depleted bank account. Wit...

Phooey Kerflooey: Three Kids And A Puppy vs The Squirrel Of The Apocalypse by Kristen Joy Wilkes

Kristen says "Once upon a time, our family of three young boys welcomed a princess into our home. A furry princess, a princess who ended up weighing more than they did, was terrified of haybales and bags of chicken feed, and refused to drink out of anything but her own special mug. Our boys were charmed by their puppy princess and asked that I write a story based on her. It took me seven years, but finally I present to you  Phooey Kerflooey ! While our own boys delighted in Princess Leia Freyjaā€™s scaredy-cat antics and princess ways, the boys in the story take a bit longer to appreciate Phooeyā€™s gifts. However, I pray that you will enjoy their journey together as they battle the squirrel of the apocalypse and search for perfect peace amidst a storm of chaos. " And I loved this one. It's gone straight back into the TBR pile. A puppy will fix everything.  A boring new house?  Boring house + puppy = adventure!    An attacking squirrel?  Evil squirrel + puppy =...

The Time for Healing by Ramona K Cecil

Winner - Best in Fiction Indiana Faith and Writing Contest 2014 Ginny Red Fawn McLain is determined to hold fast to her adoptive Shawnee culture despite her sudden reentry into her white birth family. She rejects their Christianity, fearing the tenets of the white manā€™s religion will prevent her from practicing as a Shawnee medicine woman.

But a mission trip west to the Native American tribes makes him begin to question his future plans. At the discovery of his fellow missionaryā€™s long lost niece living among the Shawnee, Jeremiah is immediately smitten. But unless Ginny Red Fawn McLain joins Christā€™s foldā€”something she adamantly resistsā€”Jeremiah will have to choose between the woman he loves and the work God has called him to do.    G...
