I’d like to take a moment and apologize for my mental absence. Not sure what’s up with me, but I haven’t been able to concentrate on much of anything and that includes my blog. I have so much to do that I’m not sure where to start. That fact made me all the more grateful for Charli’s blog entry today. If you’ve been feeling the same way, you definitely need to check it out. It gives some great advice.
PBW had an extremely scary entry the other day. I’m not sure what it’s going to mean for the blogging world as far as book recommendations are concerned, but it’s not pretty. I guess I’ll have to add some kind of disclosure to my website. Sigh.
I received the cover for Atlantean’s Quest: Fall from Grace. There are some problems with the back cover copy. Once it’s fixed, I’ll post the book cover. I think they did a pretty good job, considering it represents three books, Atlantean’s Quest: Redemption, Atlantean Heat, and Atlantean’s Quest: Return. 
Yes, I know. I’m a tease. *ggg*
Has anything cool and groovy happened to anyone this year? I know we’re only a few days into 2007, but I’m already hearing about book deals.

Had a quiet evening with friends last night. We went out for a meal at a lovely restaurant and then went back to their place to hang out until the bells. All of us were pretty tired. I think that’s what happens when you’ve had a little too much good food, wine and sensory over indulgences for the past few weeks. I feel like the wafer-thin mint guy in Monty Python and after seeing a photo of myself yesterday, I actually look like him, too. Sigh.
The countdown is on for Japan. It won’t be long now. What does this mean for the big picture? It means I have five or so weeks to get as much work done as possible. I’d like to have at least two things in rough draft form before we leave, so that I can relax while we’re there. I also need to take care of a revision that’s due by the end of this month.
Today, I managed to walk a couple of miles. I plan to do Dance, Dance Revolution a little later. I’m finishing up my goals for the year. I also figured out that I’ve read approximately 75 books in 2006. I know to those speedy readers out there that 75 is a mere drop in the bucket, but to me it’s a MAJOR accomplishment. I never realized I ‘could’ read fast enough to complete 75 books in a year. I’m actually very proud of myself. I worried that the books that I’ve been buying might not get read. Obviously, that worry is unfounded. I do need to make an effort to read more paperbacks and less ebooks. I wish that most books were released in open source ways so that I could buy them and put them on my ebook reader, since that’s how I do most (90%) of my reading. Oh well, maybe someday.
I’d better scoot. I want to finish my goals and work on my Japanese lesson. Speaking of lessons, what is the one thing that you’re going to do this year that you’ve NEVER done before?
