My last deadline for writing was July 1. And since then? I’ve done jack. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero, on the writing front. It’s been delightful. My first break in almost four whole years.
The problem with taking a break is that you break your habit of writing every day. Ont he one hand, you want to break the habit so you can have a rest. On the other, getting started again and retraining yourself to write every day is paaaaaaaainful. So, that’s what I get to do starting Monday. Back to the grind, back in the saddle, back in the habit–whatever you want to call it.
Wish me luck!
Oh! I don’t think I shared these when they came in. I’ve got two new covers for books coming out later this year.
First is Under The Covers, the contemporary holiday anthology I’m in. I believe it comes out in September.
Then, we have Untamed, my post-apocalyptic shape shifter story that releases in October. It’s probably my favorite story I’ve ever written. And the cover is so lickable!
Ooh… very nice, Crystal! Glad you had a chance to enjoy a break, and hope getting back in the saddle goes smoothly

by Crystal Jordan · July 30th, 2009 at 10:26 amHey Crystal…no worries about getting back to it. The need to write never really goes away.
But, enjoy the break while you can.
Will go tweet you now.
by Bonnie Edwards · July 30th, 2009 at 12:44 pmOoohh, aawww…love those covers. Scrumptious, luscious, bodacious, titalacious (is that a word?), delicious..anymore ious words come to mind?
by Armenia · July 30th, 2009 at 1:40 pmGreat covers! And good for you on taking the break! I haven’t been writing lately, but it’s more because of promo’ing a release, traveling a lot, and dealing with 100+ temps with no AC (GAHD!)

by Delilah Devlin · July 30th, 2009 at 8:09 pmYeah, that last one is definitely a lickable cover. Here’s me wishing you a less painful Monday
