It’s release week!  Christine is also celebrating a July 20th release.

Last week, I gave myself this to-do list:

• mail out Secrets Rising to winner  DONE
• continue writing for the 70 Days of Sweat DONE - over 7K!
• vitual workshop Left Behind and Loving It  DONE
• Guest blog to run on May’s blog IN PROGRESS
• more revisions to SMF if necessary DONE, may have third pass
• get excerpt of SMF up on the website DONE, may need revisions yet
• final installment of Hope’s Haven for Friday Snippets DONE
• write up blurb for Blood Rose — I need review requests going out ASAP for the August release PENDING COVER
• ARC of Blood Rose once I get the cover and blurb PENDING COVER

I mailed out a few promo things last week too, continued decent progress on The Fire Within, sent out a few more ARC requests, purchased one of the prizes for contests this week, and stayed alive. 

This week, my list continues:

• Sweat with Sven, at least 500 a day on The Fire Within and then I can get caught up after the release.
• finish guest blog and get it to May ASAP DONE!
• Pick up another contest prize–or two. 
• Third revision pass of SMF if necessary. and corresponding updates to website and ARC as needed. DONE!
• Consider whether I can possibly finish the gothic story by July 31st.  Where’d I put my notes?  Found my notes, made an outline, and got 407 words tonight.  I’d really love to get this story done by the deadline!  Adding it to my Sweat goals
• Buy some wine!
• Pending BloodRose stuff — by August release.
• Write up Romancelandia post.  DONE–but I need to trim over 400 words. 

Am I forgetting anything?

Whew.  Another crazy week!
