This Girl is on Fire (and she might Burn Up!)

Beware of fire...it can burn.

I feel like that song by Alicia Keys except I'm not sure I'm as competent as the heroine in the song. If I'm not careful, I might go up in flames! LOL Here's what's going on:

1. Love Inspired Historical bought a second book from me!!! I'm SO excited but I also have some revisions to do for the story.
2. I have two articles to write. Articles make me feel like I might suffocate. I don't know why but I just work through it, even if I turn blue.
3. I'm working hard on my WIP. Loving it but am sweating trying to get in 1k a day.
4. Before the end of 2013 I'll be indie/self-publishing a contemporary romance. Trying to get the cover, editing, etc. done has added some poundage to my plate.

So, all in all, this 2013 is going beautifully. I feel like I'm on a roll but I don't want to get too much friction going because that could lead to a spark which might lead to me running away from the computer, hair on fire. :-)

What's on your plate? How is 2013 turning out for you so far?

Below is a local radio interview I did with another author. Fun stuff!

I'm hoping to get through this blog tour and A-Z and get back to a lot of writing to finish my WIP.

Good luck!

Wow!! How exciting all the way around. Congrats!
Congrats, Jess! It looks like this is a banner year for you. I'm looking forward to ready your next book. The first one, Love on the Range, was excellent.

2013 has also been a special year for me. A book contract, an agent, a book launch happened in the space of 4 months.

So happy for you, my friend.

Hugs,
Susan :)
Oh, Jessica, I am soooooo happy for you! Praise God for all He is doing in your life. I will pray you don't burn up!

Hugs,
Jen

I'm late to the party, but so thrilled to hear your news! Congratulations! I have plenty to keep me busy, too. Lots of books to write. Releases to celebrate. But most important of all enjoying grandchild #1 and #2 debuting in late June. :)

Sandra, I can't get over that you're a grandma. :-)
