Things I wish for today: 1) That my schedule wasn’t so disrupted 2) That I hadn’t blown my precious morning writing time by cutting 700 words from AT HER COMMAND (oouch) 3) That I had time to do an ebook review 4) That I had something better to blog about. THE NEW GIRL excerpt should go up later today, and then it’s write, write, write.

As per Twitter, my office hours are wonky today. In fact, they’ll be disrupted much of this week. Later today, though, I’ll be working to build an excerpt library for visitor convenience. Have a good one!

Okay, normally I wouldn’t be around on a weekend (I do keep office hours, believe it or not) but this was worth an update. Valuable lesson learned at Kindle Direct yesterday. One tiny change to even the book details will shunt it back to the very beginning of the queue. Imagine the intolerant look on my face at this particular moment. * sigh * Anyway, sorry, folks. I’ll make an announcement once I stop messing up and everything’s live in the Kindle store.

I’m impatient today, waiting for THE NEW GIRL to finish processing on Kindle. In the meantime, I think I’m going to pretend to be doing something really sophisticated and interesting and authorly while I’m really cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms.

After a marathon editing session, THE NEW GIRL just went live on Smashwords. **wild cheering in background** Oh, and I got this in my inbox today: Very nice, I thought. And very fitting.

Editorial dispute solved! Yaaaay! (This is code for “I caved. God, I hate it when editors have to be so dang right all the time. What-EV-er.”) Anyway, THE NEW GIRL had some rewrites that are now back in editing. Today I’m working on some continuity stuff for book three. I would love to have THE NEW GIRL out by Thursday, but I might sit on it a hair longer if I’m feeling rushed. I’d rather have a tighter read than quicker release. Is that bad?

So. We’ve had a um… slight difference of opinion regarding the last scene in Book 2. Editorial standoffs are a lot less fun (and a lot more work) than they sound.
