It's a lot. I'm not complaining. Not at all. I asked for, prayed for, and worked too hard to complain. I'm tired, but together we will persevere!

And I'm not being intentionally vague, because I'm about to fill you in.

I finished writing out my schedule for September, October, and November less than an hour ago. My first thought was "I can't do this." Then I remembered that it isn't all on me. I have a great big God who is there all the time, and He is more than capable of getting me through.

What's on the agenda?

I have a book due for Love Inspired on November 1st, and my edits for my Bethany House book (still unnamed) are due on November 17th.

Now, I'm the first to admit I'm a fast writer. And it helps that I love my stories.

But every day I see the time ticking down is a twist in the gut. I cannot wait for these stories to be released, and I want them to be the best they absolutely can be. Which means lots of time behind the computer.

And on the personal front, my oldest is turning 19 this week.

Where has the time gone?

I've been saying this forever, but seriously. He's a real adult. He's driving. He's finished high school and is looking for a job. Don't ask me why he doesn't have one yet. The kid has put in about 30 applications. Anyone else have a young adult struggling to find their first job? I feel like it shouldn't be this hard.

Back on the bookish front, I have a new fantasy book releasing tomorrow and it's only $2.99!

This collection was so much fun!
