Last week,
I mentioned my August 1 deadline for the first book in another new mystery
series. That date is fast approaching,
and so's my trip to San Antonio
for the Romance Writers of America National Conference.
The good
thing is that I've finished an edited draft that I think is about ready to
go. But I didn't want to feel rushed so
I'll wait till I come back and take another look at it before I send it off.
I also need
to finish the related parts such as an acknowledgment and dedication. And in this one I include recipes, so I need
to polish them a bit, too!
Then I'll
need to look at my calendar to figure out when my next deadline is--December 1,
I think. And then I've got another on
February 1, 2015. In the meantime, I'll
be doing a lot of promoting on my upcoming Superstition Mystery as well as
family stuff. But I take deadlines
seriously and never want to have to ask for an extension, at least not if I can
avoid it.
How about
you--what are the deadlines in your life?
And, BTW, because of my travel plans I may not be able to respond to
your comments for a while...

I'm afraid I do ask for extensions. However, whenever they send edits with a short deadline I always get the edited manuscript back when they need it.
Good luck with your deadlines, Linda. And, enjoy your trip =)
