I think its as hard as taking ideas and creating a new book. both require creativity. It's good to see you trying something else to restore your sense of normalacy, Sharon.<br /><br />I try to keep my blog easy on the authors that visit because I know they have already made the rounds being 'chipper, bright and wonderful.' I know from experience, it's hard to be "on" all the time, projecting that professional persona, and inside you feel like mush. <br /><br />Any time you want to ramble Sharon, come on over and ramble because promotion can be exhausting in another way that writing isn't. In fact, capture up some of that feeling as you go through this and save it for when you come vist me this fall. Its a lesson writers also need to know about.<br /><br />Meanwhile, enjoy your down time. It refreshes the creative soul. :-)~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-50715828930998906642009-04-17T19:08:00.000-04:002009-04-17T19:08:00.000-04:00Hi Sheila!

Hope you enjoy "Loving Mr. Darcy."<br /><br />Howdy Renee, It is rather like cramming for exams in college - always wait until the night before! It aids productivity! LOL.

By September I am sure I will be ready to go! <br /><br />Yippee Cheryl! So glad you are enjoying it! Take your time.

How many times and in how many different ways can you tell everyone that your book is wonderful and they should buy it? Impossible to say, but we keep trying, don't we?<br />I'm about a third of the way through your book (had to stop reading a while back so I could write more of my own) and I can honestly say that it's a good one!<br />Congrats on the upcoming books!Cheryl Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464377381132807409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-70143659293501534742009-04-17T11:40:00.000-04:002009-04-17T11:40:00.000-04:00Yes, it is insane isn't it Mary Margret.

Now I am back to the old routines and it feels good.<br /><br />Thanks for the congrats on the books. I am pretty thrilled! I am very happy, but also glad it is spaced out a bit so I can chillax now and again. <br /><br />OK, off to bed! See ya all later this afternoon! Have a great day.

I always hoped that different people were reading my stuff because I know I was repeating myself at times. RCT is so fun! I will have to be careful to keep the addiction under control. I may need a 12 Step program!<br /><br />Hi Kendra! Yes, my book is SO pretty!! I still love just looking at it - how sad is that? :) I have played all the Sims games, but had the most fun designing the houses. The game itself would bore me within minutes. Getting them to "make whoopie" was always a kick though! I remember my son playing it to make them slap each other! Ha!

Glad to see you all up and about. <br /><br />I figured everyone would relate to the brain-freeze! LOL! Perhaps it will be easier the next time around, but I rather doubt it. Ha!! <br /><br />Donna, I gave up counting how many blogs/interviews I answered. I was always amazed at the different questions asked, though. I think I liked the interviews best as it gave me a launching point. <br /><br />Marie, you are so right - We always do come up with something!

Sometimes I'll mess with Sims 2, which is more like playing with dolls than anything (except a little more twisted, and thus more fun). Lately my veg game has been Chuzzle. It's totally addictive, lining up koosh balls with eyes and getting them to pop when you get three of a color in a row.<br /><br />Enjoy some mental rest in the lull, and congrats on the series continuing!Kendra Leigh Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254059079950439368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-84591910470180054492009-04-17T09:07:00.000-04:002009-04-17T09:07:00.000-04:00Sharon,
