			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sickness seems to be leaving me slowly, taking it&#8217;s sweet damn time about it. It&#8217;s made being productive very tough, so needless to say, I haven&#8217;t gotten much done on the writing front. But in an effort to help out with that, I&#8217;ve decided to start participating in <a href="http://excerptmonday.wordpress.com/">Excerpt Monday</a>, starting on on October 12th. Follow the link to find out more about it and come back here to my blog on Monday the 12th to see what I have. Hey, anything that will make Monday a better day is alright by me! </p>
<p>In the meantime, I&#8217;ve dug back into my sci-fi romance (lovingly (I think) called sci-mance by hubs) that is currently a 27K short. It&#8217;s not enough to tell the story I want, so it needs expanding. Espesically since I jotted a bunch of stuff down yesterday that altered the back history I had for the main characters. This one probably won&#8217;t be my usual word count level (around 90K), but it does need lengthening to properly tell their story. This, of course, comes about when I&#8217;m trying to work on the next book in the Rebirth series. Isn&#8217;t that the way it always happens? It&#8217;s like my brain gets opened up working on something and something else just slips its way right on in. I&#8217;m not one to juggle multiple stories like that either, just like I usually can&#8217;t juggle multiple books to read &#8211; one at a time please. It&#8217;s not that I can&#8217;t focus on multiple stories, I just like to give my full attention to whatever it is that I&#8217;m reading and/or writing.</p>
<p>I see the <a href="http://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Info/Summary.aspx?e=39f9fb57-5ebc-49a4-b572-a2316b792e98">RT Convention</a> is open for registration. I&#8217;ve been entertaining the idea of going, but not sure yet. Still waffling more towards the &#8220;no&#8221; side, but, so far, it&#8217;s been changing hourly. It&#8217;d be a nine hour drive for me as far as driving goes &#8211; so that&#8217;s the biggest deciding factor, well that and call me silly, but I don&#8217;t want to go by myself. Rather have someone I know with me so at least I&#8217;d feel a little more comfortable, since I&#8217;m not &#8211; oh who am I kidding? I&#8217;m not very social at all. Had that displayed right in my face earlier this week at a work function I had to attend (where I was getting an award no less). The VP of my whole division sat at the table with me and aside from introducing myself, I didn&#8217;t say a word during the meal. Can you imagine if I had to speak?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s something I really have got to work on.</p>
