Waving Wildly—HI EVERYONE!!!!!!
Yes, I’m drinking my second cup of coffee so I’m all jacked up! And we don’t make just regular old coffee at the Kelley house. Nope, we bought a latte maker at Wally World so we get a pot of coffee in every cup. YE-HAW!!!!! Did I mention I’m on deadline, too, and it’s getting closer and closer and closer???? Ohhhhhh, try writing a love scene when you’ve had two lattes! My heroes can make a jackrabbit sit back and say—Whoa! Cool, Dude!
Okay, I do admit that I go back and flesh out a lot of scenes–no pun intended (yeah, right!). I make sure I’ve had no coffee when I’m at the polish stage.
I have three stages of writing.
1st stage: This book is going to be my best one yet. Where do I come up with these fantastic ideas! Man, I am so damned good at this!
2nd Stage: What the hell was I thinking??? This book is crap! It will always be crap and no one will want to buy it—ever!
3rd Stage: Hey, it isn’t that bad. If fact, it’s pretty good. Wow, I might even get another contract.
I’m kind of between the second and third stage right now.
Okay, I’m going to make this a shortie so I might *might* make my deadline. Y’all be good! Okay, you don’t really have to be good.
Hugs,
Karen Kelley

Good Morning……..I choked on my own coffee when I read the jackrabbit comment……:lol:
There is never a problem with us reading your work, I just love it………Good luck on your deadlines……and I have heard that being good is “no fun”:wink:
Oh my! I think you just might have had enough coffee!:lol:
Best wishes meeting your deadline!
What can I say, my mother used to raise rabbits.
Good luck with the deadline!
And, am I in trouble if I never get to #3?
If I keep this up who knows what’s next. I might move the clothes off the treadmill—nah, I don’t want to get that radical.
I love the jack rabbit comment, you are so funny. Good luck on the deadline and I am positive that your book will be wonderful and it will sell before it even hits your editors desk.
LOL Karen.
I bet your book is great.
Loving the rabbit comment! TOO funny! Good luck on meeting your deadline!
Y’all are so nice!
Yay! I’m not the only one!
Karen, this is too funny. And too real! OMG, I go through all of these stages too (currently bouncing in and out of stage two right now).
Good luck with your deadline!
