Morning! And Happy 4th to my fellow Americans!

I'm not sure what our plans are today. I'm pretty sure that we will be staying in tonight anyway. Skywise is out with the cats right now while the temperature is still "reasonable" -- mid-80s -- but it is expected to hit the high 90's before the day is over so staying home in the a/c sounds like a good idea! Right now, I'm going to get some tea and a bite to eat and then sneak downstairs and finish printing Book 1, then that chore will be off of my "To Do" list.

Gotcha, I'm here so no worries Penth. I may be quiet due to editing and trying to add more to NR, but I'm here.

STILL trying to wake up.............  Smiley I think it's time for an iced coffee because I'll get a jolt of the equivalent of about 3 cups of half caff in it, because I like my iced coffee STRONG tasting......... Cheesy

YAY!!!

It's hot here too but not that hot... I think it's like something in the 80s but with high humidity (our weather network page will NOT load for me, GRRR!!)

I'm going to raid the decaf diet Pepsi we have in the fridge now.... Cheesy

I've put both hardcopies of Book One away for the moment. I need a snack [haven't eaten a lot today] and then I'm going to start puttering around in the kitchen.

Happy 4th to all my American friends Cheesy

If I have your local right VE it`s 19C there (66 F ??) with 78% humidity and lots of wind!  Here we are 25C  so it's the first time in a week that we have been at a decent, tolerable temp!  Hopefully we have broken our heat wave!

Cheesy

I've been having problems getting our local weather page loaded... Roll Eyes But if you check FB, you'll see where I'm at. We do have SOME wind right now but not a lot.

Believe it or not I'm actually starting to do more research on publishers for the romance genre, traditional publishing. I did some research on epublishers a while back and thanks to my local friend and published author LS, I may have found the first one on that list to send NR off to if I can't get it published traditionally.

I'm still a LONG way away from sending it off but one can't start too early I guess... Tongue

Nope. Your book is 2/3rds done in first draft and if you are like me, your first draft is pretty darn close to the "final" draft. You may be needing that information before you know it.

Yep, I had it right, it says you're now at 20, humidity dropped to 68% and wind is 30 k/h.

It is good to be informed of all formats for publishing. So many people are mainly using their e-readers now.  Living in a small house I can understand the trend .  So many of my books are in storage because we simply don't have the room.  It's not the same as holding a real book though, texture of the paper under your fingers and the scent of ink from a brand new book...

Penth, you're right, I edit things TO DEATH when I'm bouncing around ideas or am wanting to work on it but can't write because of the guys being here.

RT, I agree, there is nothing like the feel, smell or look of a REAL book, that's why I want mine to be traditionally published if possible. If not, I'll do what my old school chum did and go through an epublisher. The one she's with accepts books over 150,000 words and at the rate NR is going, it's going to be at least that long!! LOL  Smiley

And yeah, it is getting cooler but with the stinking humidity up there, YECH.

Well, that was "FUN".................. Roll Eyes  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley


NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only found a few that accept books NR's length that allow the naughtier stuff, and without an agent behind it. Roll Eyes I'll keep looking, there are a TON of publishers of romance genre books out there, I'm just a little too much like this guy:  Smiley and this guy:  Smiley to continue right now.........

Dinner is cooking. I've about decided to get a sanding attachment for the drill. Sanding the wardrobe doors down by hand will take FOREVER and I'd like to get the doors off the saw horses and ON the wardrobe! I'll have to move the whole shooting match outside and wear a mask and probably eye protection too but it would be worth it to get those darn doors ready to paint. It won't take that long to do once I get the [censored] laminate off!

It has been a quiet and peaceful evening and those neighbors who set off fireworks apparently avoided setting anything on fire since no firetrucks have gone roaring past this evening.
This is a good thing since they usually set off enough to stock a small warehouse. Probably going to wait until September....

Anyway, I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Too bad I'm so far away, my little hand sander (detailer) is perfect for that kind of work. 

Take care and sleep well  Smiley
