We had a little mishap in the middle of the night. A family member needed stitches. God what a mess! I’d only been in bed an hour. So I’ve had very little sleep and don’t know if I will make any sense. lol Had to work on my self edits for those 40,000 words I had lost that my crit partner sent back to me as my original rough drafts. Oh, how I mourn my polished prose. So late last night I had to sit down and get the opening to my Seventy Days of Sweat novel in the works. Almost 900 words. Sent them to my critique partner, Ava Rose Johnson shortly after midnight. (My life seems to revolve around the bewitching hour.) My concern is it might be a little too hot for the line I am targeting. May have to turn down the heat. Well, not to worry, Ava will tell me– that’s for sure! Ever had an argument with a critique partner via IM. Our little trio calls them CAT FIGHTS!! Alas, one third of our trio is off to conference this week and we will miss her. However, she does have her lap top and emails will fly through cyberspace I am sure. She left an IM message for me this morning before she left. She’d overslept. Just like her. Well, off to work. I have too much to do today. Oh, and don’t forget! The Midnight Rider has promised to stop in toward the end of the week. There’s no telling what he’ll have to say.

Wishing you hot, sultry southern nights!
