Getting Hot In Here…
Happy first day of summer! Well, it’s happened. Yesterday my edits came in from my editor. This is feeling very real for sure. At first glance there is lots of red but that is to be expected. Luckily I had been warned to just take it in and let in marinate for a moment before diving in. And I’m doing that. Being a good writer and taking the advice. But I don’t have long because my deadline is very tight. That said, I’ll see you all when I come up for air from time to time. In the meantime look at the pretty while I head back to the island and my story and coffee.
Enjoy the day!

Really?
Thanks to the fabulous Jennifer Weiner for tweeting this video from the amazing Laura Zigman. Every Time that bunny says, “really” I said it too. Just perfect. Chime in with your opinion on smart vs. not so smart women writers. I think you know where I stand. Really.

Monday? No, Thank You
Hello Monday 🙂 I’m trying to be enthusiastic as I greet you but it’s just one of those Mondays. Yes, the paint is up on the wall now and I’m happy about that, but looking around I’m sure it will take me the next month to get the house back to rights (was it me that had this bright idea?). And BTW just over a month is what I have now before the dear twins are home so all of a sudden I feel like I need to get the house to rights and my other work in order too. You know the other work, that pesky little thing called a book I’ve been working on well, forever!
So now it’s tick tock, wake up Monday’s here, but all I can feel is uh, no, thank you.
But no worries. I’m up typing this aren’t I?

That’s One Way
Little Problems
May we all have days like this. Hoping to get some good writing done today. I’ve been off writing for the past 2 weeks with the twins at home and Christmas but now I must get back on track. They are still here, but the tree is down and I must close myself off for a few hours a day to fall into the story again. May this be the only obstacle of the day.

Great Day
Well it’s the last day of November and I’m happy to say I made my self imposed NaNo goal adding 50,000 new words (go me). But with all the new twists and turns this book is still far from done. Sorry I’ve been MIA on the blog but I’ve been saving all my words for the page and that’s where my head has been.
Jack sends you all a good morning today though from his little bed where he spends much of his time guarding me and making sure I don’t stop typing. Have a great one!
All the best,
Kwana
And Friday…
Breathe out. Hope this weekend is filled with beauty, joy and love.
Hey it’s 11/11/11 make a wish!

And Yeah Still
Have you gotten the theme? Yes, my head is down or at least it should be and the words should be mounting. Mounting I say or is it more like pray at this point?
Though I’m on my trusty laptop. In my mind I’m imagining myself on one of these wonderful vintage numbers writing the book of my life. The one that changes it all.
Hey, what is life without a dream?

In the Pink
I think typing on this pink Royal could make me very happy indeed.
I’d be typing in the pink in no time.
