For better or for worse, I live my life in two time frames–Before Deadline and After Deadline. Sort of sad but true. And it’s always at this time, a few days before the book absolutely has to be off of my desk and on my editor’s, that I start running the mental AD list.
Books I plan to read. Movies I want to see. Stuff around the house–paint my bedroom, de-clutter a couple of closets, rake the back yard. See my hairdresser for much-needed root touch-up. Yes, shockingly enough, my hair is not naturally red with blond bangs. :O Finish reading and scoring RITA books. Re-connect with friends and family. Balance my check book. (It never happens, but I like to pretend I’m going to when I have time 
) Haul boxes of donation books to library. Take dogs in for shots and grooming. Volunteer at my daughter’s school. Work on workshop presentations.
When I finish this book I’m going to get it all done because I’ll have my life back, the book will no longer own me. Uh-huh. Sure. Right until I get those revisions….
