Working at Home

I have been working all day! I know what you are thinking, "But Heather, you don't work on the weekends!" But my friends, I do. I have revised 4 chapters of my book. I may try and get in one more before bed.

It seems that for a writer, the work is never done. Let me tell you though, it has been a while since I have sat down this long with my book and it feels nice. I have been lost in a world that I created and I still get shocked by some of the things I wrote. How weird is that?

I have not gotten out of my pajamas either. I have been in front of my computer since 2 this afternoon. I took a break for dinner and a few snacks in between. I could have done more chapters I'm sure, but I am proud of the work I have done today. I am also proud of how my writing has improved of the years!

The first few chapters of the book I rewrote a lot of stuff. I just didn't like how things were worded and how elementary they sounded. As I get further along there is less for me to rewrite and fewer errors. It's pleasing to see.

I am almost out of time though! I have until Tuesday to get things done if I want to stick to my deadline. There is so much to do after I finish revising the book. The closer I get the more excited and nervous I get. I just pray that my friends will read my book and pass along my name so that others can read it as well. I have put so many years into this one book, I don't want it to be a flop.

So, because I have been working all day on my book I didn't really have time to write out a nice blog for you. That is why you get this. Hopefully soon I will have the proper time to work on a post I have been wanting to do. It's funny, but so does not belong as a Wacky Wednesday. You will love it!

Much Love,
Heather

PILLOWS!

Something amazing happened today! I mean, squeal like a little girl meeting Justin Beiber, amazing! Oh yes, that great. Here is the story:

I went into walmart with my mom to get some cloth for a purse she is making. First I stopped and got vitamins. I love my vitamins, especially the gummy ones!

I am addicted to gummy vitamins. Of course my Fish Oil vitamins are not gummy because I can imagine that would just be...nasty.

So after I loaded the buggy up with vitamins me and mom were walking towards the back of the store when all of a sudden I spotted the most epic wall.

THE WALL OF PILLOWS!!

Now, I know most people would not get so excited over pillows, but my old pillows are, well, old. They are flat and I can never get comfortable. Back in September I bought a pillow top mattress thinking that would give me a little more comfort for sleep. Then today, I decided I needed more padding under my head so I bought four new pillows. They are so fluffy!

Yeah, look at those fluffy pillows! And the book that I will be starting tonight.

And maybe, just maybe, that was not the only awesome things that happened today. I also decided on a date to release my first book. March 21st, 2012. Oh yeah! Becoming will be released as an e-book that day. And then I will work on getting hard copies of the book. I am so excited. I knew this year was going to be awesome and it has proven, so far, to be just that. AWESOME!

I do have a few things to work on before the book is released. I have to read through it 50 million more times and make sure all the details add up. I have to find someone to do a cover art for me, hopefully for free right now. And I have to get the second book on its way. Then from there I will release one book a year, on the same day, hopefully for the next 50 years or so. I can't wait to get this up and running. I am so freaking excited! I do hope that everyone enjoys taking this journey with me.

Much Love

P.S. What vitamins do you take? Do you like the gummy kind? And how many pillows do you sleep with?
