Last week I
blogged about a weekend that was fun--except for the traffic. That's because I went from L.A.
to San Diego
and back again for my book launch for TO CATCH A TREAT at the Mysterious Galaxy
Bookstore.
This
weekend was busy, though not as nuts. I
had three chapter meetings to attend for organizations I belong to: the Orange
County Chapter of Romance Writers of America; LARA - Los Angeles Romance
Authors, the L.A.
chapter of RWA; and the Sisters in Crime Los Angeles Chapter.
OCC met on
Saturday a distance from my home, although traffic wasn't as bad as it could
have been. LARA and SinCLA both met on
Sunday, and I also was doing a chat on Sunday evening to introduce--what
else?--TO CATCH A TREAT.
I have to
admit that I skipped the LARA meeting, even though the chapter meets not far
from my home. But as much as I'd have
loved to network again with the members, the talk that day was on how to pitch
your work, and that's not of great interest to me at the moment. And I needed the time, considering everything
else going on.
I did enjoy
OCC on Saturday and SinCLA on Sunday, and had fun networking at both of
them. My online chat was held when I was
alone, except for my dogs--my husband was out of town--and it was enjoyable to
attempt to catch up with my racing screen as other people present at the chat
corresponded and asked questions.
Now that
weekend is over, too, and I have some time to write. I'm polishing a draft of Barkery &
Biscuits Mystery #3, one I can send to a friend for comments, then review again
before I send it off to hopefully meet my June 1 deadline--or at least shortly
thereafter.
The timing
is working out well, since although I have more to write (I always do!) and
have some edits coming in soon, I'm also anticipating the arrival for a few
days of my older son, d-i-l and two young grandsons. Can't wait!
But I also know I won't get much work done while they're here.
They're
worth it!
