Now

 I have this problem.  I tend to push off things that are in the future.  It's as if I don't realize that one day they will be now.

I am always surprised at February's shortness and have to remind myself how much quicker March 1, comes so I won't be late on bills.

I am all wrapped up in rewriting the next Yarn Retreat book now.  Once I finished with all the proof reading and corrections for SCONED TO DEATH,  I looked at it as off my plate and viewed the release at sometime in the distant future that I would think about later.

Then the other day, I got an invite to an event at a bookstore in May and the bookstore owner mentioned that SCONED TO DEATH  was coming out in June.  Suddenly, the foggy future seemed a lot sooner than I had thought.  I can't make the bookstore event because it is too far away, but it got my attention. 

 I sent off an email to see if I could set up a blog tour.  I signed up for the Mystery Writers of America  online webinar about promotion. and hope it will give me some  ideas.

The truth is for me that it is all about writing the books and then they're off on their own and belong to whoever reads them.

This reminder that the future becomes the present has definitely gotten my attention and I realized those first of the month bills better get paid now.
