What a day (and it's not even over)!

Today was a handful of hectic moments! It started off bright and early to full-fill my duties as a bridesmaid. A story I dare not get into as it gets me rather irritated. BUT, I will say that a fitting, a few wrong turns and half a day later the dress was ready (or as ready as it is going to get) and I literally flew back to work! I made it but barely... we are talking a matter of seconds left when I ran in the door. Needless to say, I was a little stressed!

The rest of the day has gone rather well! I have been working with the old William Allen White Award books...removing labels, pockets and other items in preparation to release them into circulation here at the library. I have also been taking the time to look at each book...many of which look interesting and I was very tempted to read them all, but even librarians have a checkout limit on their card! I am taking one home to read... one that has been nominated for the 2008-2009 W.A.W Award... but I unfortunately cannot list that information on here as it is top secret! But the book looks very good and was published by one of the publishers that I am currently looking at. I feel it is a good idea to look at what a certain publisher is releasing to see if my own writing may or may not fit in. The more research I can do now, the more success I will have a shot at in the future!

As far as my writing, I am sprouting new ideas all the time now! I am working on the publishers list and preparing for the new release date. I really want to make sure everything is perfect before I send them out. Second chances don't come often in the literary world I fear!

Life in the fast lane is great! I am still loving Tink, my car! It is a whole new world of freedom (and bills)! It has made a lot of things easier.

Other than this, not much else is going on! I have a very important birthday party this Friday that I am getting ready for and then, of course, there is the wedding Saturday! More stories to come I am sure!
