All Over the Place

I'm all over the place at the moment right now between my writing and editing. I feel almost ADD because of it. I'm not entirely sure of the cause. Is it because I am so excited (yet nervous) about the Colorado Christian Writers Conference (CCWC) in Estes Park 5/13-5/16? Is it because Estes Park is one of my favorite places on the planet and I cannot wait to get centered there? Is it because I'm presenting five books while I'm there, or meeting other writers, or the classes and speakers? I think it's all of the above.

I also think I'm all over the place because I'm going on vacation with my husband and best friend for two weeks. I need some time away from it all. I won't be blogging, writing, editing, checking email, etc. Nothing. Just enjoying our time together and seeing the beautiful land of the free, home of the brave. It's a road trip, after all.

Although, I'm concerned about beagle. Zack is a mama's boy. He's gotten used to me being home all the time now. Furthermore, I'm making him nervous with my packing to move, so his world is a little askew at the moment. (I haven't even told him he's going to get a baby brother in a couple of months, a baby boy kitten. Beagles love to chase cats.)

I also think I'm all over the place because of the move. I'm leaving Colorado for Nebraska in a month and a half and it's a mixed bag for me. I'm excited for the new beginning, a new home, and meeting new people. I'm also excited for being alone with my husband for a while. But, I'm a third generation Colorado native and am leaving my family and friends behind. The one aspect that brings me comfort is the fact that Omaha is an 8-hour drive.

BOOKS I'M WRITING NOW:
1. I'm still working on January's Lasting Legacy. I've re-started it... AGAIN, though.
2. I'm also working on Zeagar... Also re-started it again.
3. Moments of Sacred Longing: A reflection on faith and how to apply it to live today.
4. Whatever is True: A romance novel about an ultra-conservative blogger named Duncan and the war, Carly, declared on him. She's ultra-liberal. And, they end up falling in love. How do you merge two lives so different together? And, should you? Is it possible?

BOOK I'M ALMOST FINISHED READING:
James Patterson's Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment (Book 1)

MOVIE I'M WATCHING NOW:
Schindler's List

Have a blessed day!
