And then it will be time to revise for about 3 weeks before I turn it over to my editor. You're right, there is never enough time and now tonight we lose an hour. Oh but we gain that sunshine. :) Thanks for sharing what you are reading. Another interesting list. Hang in there with your goals.Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-88655133917570216932011-03-11T23:34:17.929-05:002011-03-11T23:34:17.929-05:00On my Kindle app I have A Time to Love, by Barbara...On my Kindle app I have A Time to Love, by Barbara Cameron and Daughter I Am, by Pat Bertram but I've only peeked into them so far. I just finished Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and on the top of my TBR pile sits Jodi Picoult's new book, Sing You Home. I bought it yesterday and am trying hard *not* to start reading it because I'm already behind with my March goals. (Taking part in Denise Jaden's March Madness Challenge.) I'm trying to revise my last story and ignore a new idea that's waiting in the wings. There's always so much to do and so little time!Carol J.

I've met a couple times at Blueridge, but haven't read her yet.<br />I think you should give yourself more credit. Whe you say, "Just doing my revisions," etc., it sounds like it's not a big deal when in fact it's a huge deal. You're working hard. Hope you plan on rewarding yourself. <br />Blessings,<br />JillJillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-57239292860587510182011-03-08T16:47:19.689-05:002011-03-08T16:47:19.689-05:00I am reading Ann Tatlock --promises.

Just doing my revisions on my women's fiction plus readind some of my CP's romances:)Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-82689236514822793972011-03-08T10:20:08.207-05:002011-03-08T10:20:08.207-05:00Hi there, Nicole!
I love hearing what you're r...Hi there, Nicole!<br />I love hearing what you're reading and writing. I won't even pretend to be capable of keeping up with what I'm reading on my Kindle. I've also started downloading the sample chapters. <br /><br />Sample chapters will be even more important to readers and writers with the use of e-books. Those of us who write better be writing killer first chapters or there is little chance that readers will choose to buy what we write based on our first chapters. Scary but necessary.<br /><br />I'm a horse nut too. The horses in my books that are owned by hero and heroine will always have names.:) My hero's horse is named Hippocrates and my heroine's horse is named Shakespeare in Secrets of the Heart.<br /><br />Lillie Among the Thorns sounds fascinating with the horse ranch and healing in it since I grew up on a farm. Thanks for sharing your information. I'll have to check these out eventually.Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-21301612050639032012011-03-08T01:37:02.554-05:002011-03-08T01:37:02.554-05:00Fun to know what you've downloaded to your Kin...Fun to know what you've downloaded to your Kindle! I've certainly loved the "free" downloads as well but now I fear I'll never catch up with all I have to read! <br /><br />I just finished reading: Letters from Home, Kristina McMorris<br />Onto: Michal by Jill Eileen Smith and Whisper on the Wind by Maureen Lang (so excited for those!)<br />Listening to audiobook: The Help by Kathryn Stockett<br /><br />Research-oriented reading: One Place Across Time - Vancouver National HIstoric Reserve. <br /><br />And what I'm writing: World War II era romance tentatively titled Lillie Among Thorns - a woman framed for murder finds sanctuary at a horse ranch and discovers true faith and healing. Tying together horses and history - my favorite combination. :-)Nicole M. Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785140184739471426noreply@blogger.com
