This is probably the shortest post ever, but I kind of miss you guys. I haven’t had a lot to say here (not even a real desire to write), but that’s probably because I’ve been so consumed with book edits. You’d think that after publishing a book and editing the same one so many times, there’d be nothing left to edit. But I think you grow as a writer, and you start to find new ways of expressing things. If I weren’t so eager to move on to other projects, this could be a never-ending one.
This past weekend I went out to lunch in Paris with some fellow authors.
We went to the Grizzli Café in Chatelet-les-Halles. It was fun to connect over lunch and talk about what everyone is working on. I’ve been listing some of the new releases on my FB page. And now my book will be launched this coming week. Never mind that it’s re-publishing old work. I need to have my memoir done properly before I can publish other books. I can’t wait to start working on those.
There’s still a lot of noise at our house as the workers bang and clatter on the roof and drill through cement, and saw wooden beams. We’re supposed to choose the roof tiles on Monday. I’ll take a picture for you.
This weekend I’ll be going back and forth with my designer (I LOVE her new design for the book), and doing some winter pruning in the garden. It’s cold and frosty, but not anything like what you guys are experiencing.
What’s going on with you?

Lunch in Paris.
Must be a rough life.

I am trying to buckle down and get real work done on the violin I’m building. I’m jealous of your editing work! My hope is to make enough progress on my violin that I can dedicate a good month to edits on my second novel that has just been sitting way too long. I miss real writing, but sometimes other things have to come first.
