Princess Monster is much improved today.  I’m on vacation today, so Middle Monster and I slept in this morning.  (If you want to snooze, MM is your best companion.)

Things I accomplished last week:

• compiled a list of review sites
• made my first homemade ARC
• brainstormed prizes and strategy for the release
• updated my website with release dates and links
• sent out a few review requests and ARCs
• completed the first round of edits on Survive My Fire
• made a new ARC to include those edits
• bombarded My Beloved Sis with e-mails about the revisions
• signed up for 70 Days of Sweat
• continued writing The Fire Within
• brainstormed over the weekend for a virtual workshop topic for PBW’s Left Behind and Loving It

Whew.  No wonder I’m exhausted!

This week, my to-do list is just as crazy:

• mail out Secrets Rising to winner 
• continue writing for the 70 Days of Sweat
• vitual workshop Left Behind and Loving It
• Guest blog to run on May’s blog
• more revisions to SMF if necessary
• get excerpt of SMF up on the website
• final installment of Hope’s Haven for Friday Snippets
• write up blurb for Blood Rose — I need review requests going out ASAP for the August release
• ARC of Blood Rose once I get the cover and blurb

I think that’s it, although I’m sure to add more items as the week progresses.  See why I signed up for 70 Days of Sweat?  Without the challenge, it’d be really easy to fall into bed without a single word written for the day.  I’m determined to get The Fire Within finished despite the craziness of the next two weeks!

How about you?
