Milli’s May Journal

Eep!

This month got away from me. I’m sorry. Remember how I said I’ve been picking up some odd side-jobs lately? Well… One of them turned into a full-time gig! That’s why you haven’t seen much from me lately. Anywhere. Anyway, the job is going great, and so far, so good!

The writing, on the other hand, has taken a hit. None of my betas have finished Ain’t No Angel, and I’m not sure what that says about the book… My first round beta readers liked it, though, so that says something, right?

I have some new ideas, too, about penpals from around the world from each other finding each other “after all these years.” There have been more thoughts on Loki’s story, but not much beyond that. And I’m holding off on refining Alternate Ending (Oliver and Parker and Coby’s story) because of how Sammie’s book about Shane and Petra is going. Some events happen in that story that will affect Parker & Oliver, at least a little bit. But they’re good changes.

Otherwise, my life has been filled with kids and school and cub scouts and working and adjusting to this new routine of actually staying up when I get the kids off to the bus in the morning.

So there’s that. My life in a nutshell.

Until next month!

Oof, it’s been a busy one. Cub scouts and I found a temporary job thing for a couple weeks… Uh… Cam’s beta readers are… still reading. Or something. One of them wasn’t able to even get started until this month, and the other seems to have fallen off the face of the planet. Any volunteers out there?

Anyway, I’ve put some more thought into Loki’s story. With Sammie’s big story about Shane and Petra in the works, I’m not pushing hard to get Parker & Oliver’s story done, too, since I know there are a couple things that I’m probably going to need to add in or re-work or whatever to incorporate some of the details into Alternate Ending.

That’s about all I’ve got for now, I’m afraid, but with any luck, I’ll have more next month.

In the meantime, happy reading,

MG

Milli’s March Journal

March 12, 2019

March is madness around my house. It’s spring break for my kids this week. I can’t say I’ve gotten a lot if writing done lately, I’ve had other projects to complete.

I crochet. These past few weeks, I’ve been crocheting a lot. I’ve gotten a mitten (they’re a pain in the ass, so I needed a break from them), I’m debating ripping apart the boot I’ve got almost done (I have my reasons), and a hat. I have the other mitten to complete, another hat, a pair of hand warmers or mittens to go with, and two… three baby blankets. Or two baby blankets and something else for baby.

See… my oldest daughter is having my first grandson in June. Of COURSE I’m going to make him a blankie. But I’m invited to both showers, and I’ll be damned if I go to either one of them empty handed. That blanket has been… frustrating to decide on the pattern. Thing 1 loves fish and water, so I took a lot of time pouring through my book of basic patterns in search of one that would look like ripples on a pond. Mission accomplished, but now I need to finish the thing before baby showers start happening. And probably make matching booties and such, or something, so I have something for both showers. *sigh*

I have been thinking about books to write, but I need to poke my beta readers and find out where they are in reading through Ain’t No Angel.

So for now, I crochet, and weigh the pros against the cons in regards to putting a book I’ve called K-9 to 5 into the Hearth and Forge world or if I want it to go solo in its own time  and place. Basics: It’s about a dog groomer and a tattoo artist.

PS: Sorry this is late. I  didn’t remember until this morning.

I think I’m going to make some plushy fishies to go with the one baby blanket.
