Wouldn't it be lovely to have one more day in the week? What would you do with an extra day? I think I would do absolutely nothing but kick back and rest. Alas, this wish probably won't happen in my lifetime. Sigh. In the meantime discipline and organization will carry me through the out-of-town-company, the apartment warming for our youngest daughter, the rehearsal dinner barbeque, the mini-family reunion luncheon the following day, and our son's wedding the same evening.
The thing about it is that it's all fun stuff. Really. Sure there's planning and chaos but hey, no pain - no gain. In my upcoming book "Waiting for Santa," Jillian is expecting a houseful of out-of-town company for Christmas, including a pug puppy. She's also thrust into a murder investigation while juggling romance between two suitors. And I thought I had challenges! The book is all in good fun and captures fond memories of my own family's holiday traditions. Now all I have to figure out is how to juggle between my own busy life and launching this book by November! Hmm. With discipline and organization...and remembering how fun it is to write cozy mysteries for readers like you, I should make that deadline.
See you next Friday here on Cozy Mystery Magazine. Have a great weekend, my friends.
