Holidays And Not Writing
There’s just something about the holidays that makes getting anything done impossible. I don’t do any of the cooking in my house - which is a very good thing - so the Thanksgiving feast is not my job. You’d think not having to worry about the grocery shopping, the cooking or traveling anywhere to visit family (they are visiting me this year) that I’d have all of this free time. Uh, no. I’m behind on just about everything. I’ll catch up, but this is the anxious time when I repeat over and over, “I should be doing this” and “I should be doing that” all while not actually “doing” anything.
In the middle of this mess, one of the great things I did manage to do was join my writing panel on Sunday. What great fun! Fellow panelist Eden Bradley commented that she needs to get some photos up from the event. That sounded like a good idea to me. So, here’s one of us (from left to right: me, Vicki Lewis Thompson, Eden and Leigh Court):
Don’t we look happy? That’s because Fronnie Lewis and her Cheers for Writers event was really well done. Fronnie made it easy for us to get up there, talk and engage with a great crowd.
Note how I’m holding that cup of coffee as if it’s the last one left in the world. You’d think I had a latte addiction or something…

Hi Helen Kay~ I just wanted say it was such a pleasure meeting you at the book signing in Burbank! You were gracious enough to talk to me for several minutes about writing, about Brava, and I really appreciated it. Thank you! I left B&N and headed out of town until today and read You’re Mouth Drives Me Crazy in record time. I didn’t want to put it down. It was a wonderful read and you’ve got a fan in me. I look forward to your next one!

I put a picture up on my blog! Yes, only one-the rest came out horribly.

Akk-I realized I put in the wrong blog link and hit the stop button to correct it, but it posted twice-sorry!

HelenKay,
It was a pleasure to hear you speak, and I’m so delighted to find another “sexy” romance author to add to my list of faves!
Happy Thanksgiving!
