Publishing: Sites for authors, readers, book lovers, or just curious
Decided to make a post about sites that I find interesting. Since I am a book person, both as a writer and a reader, I have evaluated these sites and posted them for you.

Writer Recharge: Final Week
Wow. This recharge went by so fast. I think I am so busy these days time is flying by. So here is what I hoped to do/write this week: Write/revise: Get at least another 500 words written on The Galileo Strategy. Do edits for Deadly Array because I have them and need to get them done.

Have to cut up postcards and buy a tablecloth.

The one thing that sticks in my mind about the book (name withheld as it is not relevant) is that the exercises in the book sent

Fighting the Monday blahs
Mondays, blah. Who needs ’em? My dearly departed mother used to say, she hated Mondays. I didn’t get it until recently. For some reason I do, too. I find myself feeling the dislike building on Sunday night. On Monday morning, upon rising, I am besotted with Monday blahs.
