       Halloween is tomorrow and I am all set for it! Decorated with Partylite decorations (Partylite consultant here) along with tealights, and I am quite proud with how it all turned out. I went to Costco and bought candy bars for the trick -or- treaters and plan on watching the Ghost Hunters Halloween special and give out candy. Saturday I went to a Halloween party and saw my nieces and nephews in their costumes. I have eight of them and one on the way, have I mentioned I have four brothers?               As for  writing I did not get much done this past week, but I did workout so I think that counts for something. However I will get some writing done today and get back on track. In the meantime here is a cute photo of some of my nieces and nephews in their Halloween costumes... 

Check in time! So far, so good! I have been sticking with my Row80 goals and even found time to write on the two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) that are my busy days! Unfortunately I have not had any time to go workout, but my friends understand. This weekend is a GLAWS meeting, it’s my writers group, GLAWS stands for Greater Los Angeles writers society. I usually miss the monthly meetings and so I making it a point to make this one. I have also managed to work on some research for a future story and while doing so I found out that there will be a POW WOW in Long Beach next year. Off topic, I bought my favorite cuff bracelet at the last POW WOW I visited.

    I started off #ROW80 with a rough start, my goals were to write Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays leaving Sunday as my day for editing. I've also managed to find time to workout daily! My progress: I've been staying with the goals I set... I met with the lovely lady who is now my editor! (I wish  I found her sooner.) Going to keep this check in short because I have a lot to keep me busy.

I have been working on the next installment to the Chronicles of Orlando and I wanted to share the book cover and the trailer! It should be available in November!

       I decided to join A Round of Words in 80 days. By doing this I'm hoping I will stay on track because I've been really busy, and now that the holidays are approaching I'm going to need to make sure I stay on track.       The only days I know I won't be able to write or edit are Tuesdays and Thursdays. My goals are to write 1,000 words on Mondays, Wednesday and Friday, and that is without editing. Sundays will be for editing/revising/reviewing.        By the time this is all done I should be ready to give the third book of my Mishap series to my editor!
