See? I have faith in you :)<br /><br />The last book in my series comes out in December, and I'm all finished with page proofs. But that being said, I'm hoping to wow Deb with my next proposal...soooo I'm kindof at the beginning again...YIKES!<br /><br />OH...deadline cure? Tullemore Dew and Chocolate.C.H.

I'm not that ...I have a book due October 1 too. I'm not that stressed about it because I made a lot of progress this week--I know how it ends now! I just try not to wait until the last minute. I like to have time to read it over and play a bit before turning it in. Hoping to have the first draft done next week so I can do that.<br /><br />Oh, and I agree with Cheryl.

Or a blue, blue dragonfly sitting on a crepe myrtle eating aphids that are eating my flowers. And then I share them.<br /><br />I pause to interact with fans, because believe me, when they're loving my books, it REALLY prompts me to write some more. :) <br /><br />Speaking of deadlines....Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.com
