So I finished the novella that won’t die! YAY! And yesterday I started writing the synopsis for my second Kensington book, and then will start the Sexy Beast novella before the end of the week! I’m feeling good with the writing.

And I have to say, for the first time I’m not really hating writing a synopsis… maybe because I know the book is already sold? But I’m excited about this premise.

And on an ‘aaah’ not. My daughter has had her first sleepover! Well, two actually! The first one was last Thursday. My kid decided spontaneously to sleep over at her 1/2 sister’s house. And they’re an hour away from us, so needless to say I was a bit anxious. Hard to just ‘come pick her up’ if things got bad. But she did great. A couple tears and worrying at bedtime, but then once she went to sleep she slept all night. Snuggled up to her big sister of course.

The second overnight happened last night. I had to take my younger brother to the ER, so I dropped the kid off with another one of my brother’s (I have three). She did great! Played with her cousins and then slept with my sis-in-law all night, with again, a few tears that might have been more tired/melt down. And I sat at the ER for 7 hours–until 1am. The good thing was I got to read The Hunt, an Allison Brennan book from front to back. Which, I swear I haven’t read a book in one sitting since before I had a kid. It was quite the experience. Allison, by the way, is speaking at the Emerald City Writer’s Conference. You really should come!

Okay, off to work on that synopsis again. Later!
