Where does the time go? Next to "What's for dinner?" this has to be one of the most-asked questions in the world.
One minute, it's Friday. The work day is over, and my thoughts turn to kicking back and doing what I want to do for a change. Next thing I know, dinner's over, I've watched a few episodes of my favorite British detective show, and it's time to go to bed. Then Saturday arrives, but it's not any easier. After a few cups of coffee, it's time to shower, dress, and then scoot off to pick up your daughter from the cap she's been attending for the past week. Then it's out for a late breakfast/lunch downtown, going back home to clean up the house, and a few drinks with friends. Next it's dinner and another detective show and then, boom, it's Sunday. More coffee, a quick breakfast, and then it's out to mow the lawn before the thunderstorms roll in at 3 pm. Where does the time go?
Of course, all of this is just an excuse to say that, once again, I'm late with this week's round-up of writing-, publishing-, and book-related news. Of course, since I still have no readers, I guess it really doesn't matter.
Enjoy this week's haul, and if do happen to stumble across this site and you enjoy it, please tell your friends. You're the best!
