Weekend Update Has Few Plans

Saturday morning, once again up early, watching the local news and making coffee while A. sleeps in.  It's one of those weekends where we have nothing planned or scheduled, so I guess this means that one of us is gonna have to take the initiative and say 'okay, let's get out of the house and go somewhere.'  I'm thinking maybe a walk down to the Richmond Republic for lunch (which of course would also include a stop to Green Apple, because there are some new books out that I would like to pick up).  It'll get us out of the house, at least!

I think I'm at the point where I'm ready to start working on the prewriting for the New Project already.  I've been kinda sorta putting it off so I can finish up a few other things and focus mainly on the Lidwells revision, but it seems this revision is going to be a hell of a lot quicker and smoother than I expected.  [Not that I think I'm a perfect writer...more like I have a hell of a lot less reworking to do than I did with the trilogy.]  I've been looking forward to this one, so finally bringing it up to the next level feels great!

As for Meet the Lidwells...I'm a few months behind schedule on it, so it looks like it might not pop up until December.  I'm not entirely happy about that, but what can ya do?  I don't think it's that I was lazy throughout the time I was working on it...I think I didn't give myself enough time.  I should have started it earlier in the year if I was aiming for a September release.  I'm not gonna get myself down on it, though.  It was a learning experience.  Still...it's been an amazingly quick turnaround nonetheless, and I'm happy with the work I put into it, so all in all I think it's been a successful project so far.  I am curious, however, to see how readers will take it! 

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
