Uh-oh! Where did the day go?

I was shocked when I looked at my blog and realized I hadn’t posted since November 3^rd. The last week has gone by in a blur, some good, but mostly bad, including a funeral and a good friend who is seriously ill. He’s been in the hospital for ten days and counting. Then the DH had a colonoscopy. We won’t even go into that.

I’m working on three books and usually writing is a great escape for me. When I read or write I totally forget the bad stuff for a while. This past week I couldn’t concentrate worth a darn. My mind was jumping from one thing to another and I was sure I was going to lose it along the way.

Finally I locked myself in my office and last night I finished a MS and with a great sigh of relief I sent it off to the publisher. This morning I was rewarded with a contract from Silver and I was doing the happy dance. I should have put my mug down first. Anyone know how to get coffee stains out?

I figure all the time I was fretting because there’s never enough hours in the day, I really should have been trying to make the most of the hours I had. The problem is not my lack of time. I’m not using the time I have in a productive way. If anyone has some advice, I’d love to hear it.
And here’s a preview of that book I just finished.
 
Lane and the Lycans
Symbiotic Mates: 6
 
Lane is spying for Ethan, his vampire master. Sneaking past the perimeter of the Lycan city won't be easy for a cat-shifter, and things go horribly wrong when a bear decides to have Lane for dinner. Two wolves intervene and the cat thinks he’ll end up as wolf kibble instead of bear meat. But one of the Lycans is a do-gooder wildlife enthusiast and he’s determined to keep the cat safe.
