Hi Folks,
It’s been a crazy, busy, week, but it was also a successful
week. As I often say, “Ya gotta love it when it works.” And work it has. Last
Sunday we put up Frankie and Frankie is being good to us. Here’s a line from
our first review.
“This book is more of a
thriller than a romance.”
So, heeeerrrrrreeeeees
Frankie.
Now, while Frankie was
basking in the warmth of cyberspace and the virtual bookshelf, here’s what Mother
Nature had in store for us. Snow, sleet, hail, and freezing rain as well as ice
in the harbour. In spite of it all we did manage one trip to the city for
groceries. However, I confess as much of the week as possible was spent inside
by the fire.
Now for a ROW80 Check In
Speaking of hiding out inside, I did get lots of
writing done. My current WIP now stands at 50,000 words and counting. Here’s a
quick peek from the rough draft.
It took him only a few moments to find the second door and
push his way through. What he saw as he entered took his breath away for a
moment. She was standing at the base of the stairs, a feather duster in her
hand and the fading rays of sunlight dancing on her hair like a halo. The girl
was all delicious curves and had large liquid brown eyes with the longest
lashes he had ever seen. Jace took a moment to appreciate the vision before him.
And then she spoke in a demanding voice.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
“I’m Jace Harper and I own the place,” he said with a grin. “Who are you and what are you doing here?”
“I’m Mara O’Grady,” she replied, blushing softly. “I guess
I’m trespassing.”
Okay, the goal for this coming week is to hit 60,000 words.
Wish me luck. J
Oh, with a bit of luck we should have another newsletter out
this week too. You can sign up for the newsletter at the top right of the page;

Now how about you folks, what have you been up to? What
exciting things are happening for you? Come on, talk to me, you know you want
to. J
Until next week,
Bless,
Pru

Hi Denise, I'll pop out another tease next week. Thanks for the encouragement. :)
DeleteThis is so like you Prudence. Never let the weather get you down. You guys have been freezing to death there and yet you keep pumping out those words. Look at your word count. I'm cheering you on for 60,000! Yay!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, Thanks for the kind words. I'm used to these winters so I have learned to make time to write. Old Man Winter doesn't make things easy though.
