Hello!
Well, you may (or may not) have noticed I neglected to post last week. The truth is, I had nothing to say. I've been busy writing writing writing, and when you're banging out the first draft, things aren't really that exciting. You put the words down, you move forward inch by inch, and eventually you make it to the end. Not exactly the stuff of a riveting post.
But apart from the daily slog, exciting things are in the works. I had a great conversation with Amazon marketing for the upcoming release of The Pollyanna Plan, and squeeee! It looks like my book will appear as the wake screen on UK Kindle Fires on launch day, apart from lots of other cool stuff. Imagine, I'll be turning on my Kindle Fire to see the cover of my very own book. Less than two weeks to go!
Away from the book world, my tiny little baby (okay, my strapping big toddler) will be starting nursery for a few mornings a week come Monday. While I'm anxious about letting go, I'm also excited at having time to: a. shower; b. eat using two hands; and c. WRITE! Maybe even start making blog rounds again!
And really, that's all the news in my world. Hope everything is well in your neck of the woods.
See you next week!

That's cool news your book will be front and center on the Kindle Fire!
ReplyDeleteHello Talli, I'm so excited for you about The Pollyana Plan and can't wait to see it! Enjoy the little bursts freedom that next week will bring :-)
ReplyDeleteTalli: Always a thrill to see your career moving ahead! Many times, my lag times between blog posts is, similarly, because I have nothing new to say. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the deal with Amazon, Talli!
ReplyDeleteWow, Talli! That's so cool about your book being part of the launch of the Kindle Fire!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your upcoming release. I'm sure once you get into the groove you'll enjoy those free hours.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news about the Kindle Fire!
ReplyDeleteGreat news about your book and also about having a little time to yourself in the mornings!
ReplyDeleteVery cool about the Kindle Fire. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteDang, those first few weeks of writing a first draft, I always feel like an inchworm: small, insignificant, and slow. Congrats for you and Polly.... That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Talli! But you forgot, one of the things you could do while Baby TR is in nursery is sip a glass of wine while taking a long soak in the tub. :)
ReplyDeleteI love when the writing takes over like that. Keep going! And enjoy some baby-free time. I didn't start writing until my youngest was 4, so I had it easy!
ReplyDeleteSo excited about The Polyanna Plan!
Oh, that's excellent news on being on the UK Kindle! And it's funny how the writing is associated with a little less blogging--it is just more personal in that first draft phase, eh?
ReplyDeleteThat's spectacular news about Kindle Fire--and also the opportunity to shower!
ReplyDeleteSounds all good to me. Maybe the next book will be The Mommy Plan :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting!!! Both the eating with 2 hands thing (SO true!!) and the book on the wake up screen - yay!!
ReplyDeleteHi Talli - that's amazing about the Amazon deal .. so pleased for you - and you're letting Master T go off to school - well I'm sure it'll do you both good - though will be a shock to the system - you can learn to eat again!
ReplyDeleteHappy days - sounds like it's all coming together .. Hilary
That is great news about your book and so glad to hear things are going well! I've enjoyed the baby pics on Facebook. :)
