Back to Work

Perhaps I should wear black today. I have to return to work. The summer absolutely flew by this year, and it’s hard to think of going back. Big sigh. I still have until after Labor Day before the students arrive, but it’s now time for the days and hours of meetings. I may have to pack a chocolate stash to survive it.

In any event, this week turned out pretty well for me. I did reach my goal of hitting page 200 before I returned to work. So I have roughly 160 pages left on SLAVE. I love this feeling of being relaxed under deadline. Not only am I going to meet the deadline early, but it will build in some maternity leave time for me. The second book isn’t due until July 15th. Lots of time. I’m also *slowly* starting to figure out my own writing process and instead of being stressed out, I remember–oh yeah. I did this last time and it came out fine. Don’t worry.

In other news, I got a sneak peak at my new book cover. You can see it a pdf file in the previous link or a jpg file here. (Some folks can’t open pdf files, I realized.

What do you think?
