Where's Hermey When you Need Him

Busy.

That sums things up in my world right now.

We are still scheduled to close on the new house on March 12th. Until then we are a standstill as far as moving, painting and setting up our new abode ... but we've remained busy with mountains of paperwork. setting up utilities, buying furniture and the other things we are going to need. as well as planning out how we want to do things once we do gain possession.

Once again this year I am helping to coach my 6 yo's indoor soccer team. We had our first practice yesterday with 8 kids showing up. 5 girls and 2 boys. Four of them played on our team last year.

For several days I got in the writing groove an cranked out quite a few pages. I joked about capturing my muse on Monday. Well guess what? The Tooth Fairy was not amused that I'd captured one of her brethren and locked her away in a jar. So in the dead of the night the tooth fairy sent her henchmen to crack one of my molars. I've been sidelined with an aching jaw.

According to the dentist I have a root canal and crown in my immediate future, but that doesn't make me feel very kingly.

In other news my writing pal Cicily Janus has announced that her non-fiction book The New Face of Jazz has sold to Watson-Guptill which is a division of Crown which is a division of Random House. Stop by her blog and give her shout. She also let me know that her upcoming writing retreats still have a few openings. The first retreat is in May in Taos, New Mexico and the second is June in Vail, Colorado. For your chance to hang out with editors, agents, and published authors check out the retreat website here.


So? What's going on with you?
