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?

Ooh! I love it! You’ve definitely got awesome art people working on your stuff. That rocks!
Glad the writing has gone so well, too!
Lots of exclamations this morning.
Hope you make it through the first day back without falling asleep - though I still think department meetings are wonderful nap times.
Holly Says:
Oh that cover is GREAT!
You’ve truly been blessed by great covers!
Hope the meetings and such go by quickly (but not so quickly your summer vacation goes up in a poof!)
Have a wonderful day!

Oh, you’re lucky! Our kids come back on the 27th. Ugh! I’m already ready for a vacation and it’s only been 2 days in prep work! But I like the chocolate stash idea. Hhmm, I must add that to my last minute supply list.
