Good morning! Writing and work have kept me busy this week, so I’m a little late getting the Weekend Coffee Share (hosted by Natalie the Explorer<\/a>) up for this week. Today I’ll share a few pics from my visit last weekend to the Tucson Botanical Gardens as well as the usual funnies at the end. But first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Week’s Writing Update, Brought to You By Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The writing update for this week is that there isn’t much of an update. I’ve heard exactly nothing about any of my pending submissions, including the story I submitted for the Christmas horror anthology that was supposed to be published in November but for which there’s still an open call for submissions. Not sure what’s going on with that one. I expect to hear about two others, the IWSG anthology and my application for the Storyknife retreat in Alaska, in early December. Tom Petty was right: the waiting is the hardest part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I pull my hair out and check my email 72 times a day, I’m also participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) as what’s called a NaNo Rebel, i.e. I’m not writing 50K words of a brand new novel but, rather, revising a previous project. That work is going well, though I’m struggling with motivation and not as far along as I’d hoped to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
