My book is due November 1.

Let me say that again just for the adrenaline rush.

My book is due November 1

Ack!!!

Right. So, today’s post will be a bit brief because although I have things well in hand on the deadline front, the fact remains that my book is due November 1 and I need the panic. It makes me spend more time writing and less time surfing the web or twittering.

Speaking of which, here is a link to one of the most inspiring blog posts I’ve read in quite some time. From @Moonrat’s Editorial Ass blog: Robert The Publisher’s Gem of the Day

The beauty of the post, aside from the humor and the gotcha meaning at the end, is that it’s inspiring for anyone, even if you’re not a publisher, editor or writer.

I’ll leave you with that as you go off to be inspired. I’ll be doing the same thing over at the book that’s due November 1.

But if you come back to comment about whether you agree, that would be cool.

Edited to add:

The winner of my Anniversary Bash post has not yet come forward. Amy, contact me! If I haven’t heard from you by wed Oct 7, I’ll select a new winner.

The winner (chosen randomly) is Amy! Amy please email me carolyn AT carolynjewel.com with your mailing address. If you already have Scandal, let me know and I’ll send My Forbidden Desire.

Thanks for stopping by and hey, Spike is an awesome choice of vampire.

EDT #2: Random comic. Not that I would ever surf the web when my book is due november 1.
