The Dreamspinner Press Author Workshop 2017

Jeff and I made our way to Florida for a couple of days to attend the Dreamspinner Press Author Workshop 2017. If you’re curious about the event itself, be sure to check out what I had to say about last years event (my thoughts haven’t changed). Unlike last year, we managed to take a lot more pictures! Below is our weekend as told in selfies.

Confessions of a Gay Romance Writer: Day 6 – A New Desk and Rereading a Gay Classic

RenderedImage-2.aspx

Today I did my morning pages as per usual and then had a quick cardio workout. I then spent the morning putting together my NEW TREADMILL DESK! Putting it together wasn’t that difficult, but I’m getting a little too old to be crawling around on the floor attaching large steel pieces (this desk is VERY sturdy), I haz me some serious aches! I got it positioned and hooked up in my office (thanks to my every helpful husband) and the computer rebooted as well. Tomorrow I’ll finish arranging some of the other furniture and I’ll be ready to go!

Yesterday I finished rereading Sweet Dreams, the first book in the Alex Kane series by John Preston. I really, really love this adventure series and I think it’s a crying shame that they’ve been completely forgotten. Originally released in the 1980’s, they were reprinted in the 90’s, but have been out of print for more than 20 years. I plan on writing a review in the next day or two and share my thoughts on the series which I hope, in some small way, bring it to the attention of modern readers.

I skipped yesterday’s pages because it was Sunday and Easter and I just didn’t feel like it. I did do my pages this morning though.

My new desk set-up just arrived here at casa Jeff & Will. Rearranging everything to fit into my office is large task that I expect will take all day tomorrow. I will try and post my progress here as per usual, but I can’t make any guarantees.
