The days go too fast. I am not able to do all of the things I would like to do including write. I get home around six or so and when I look again it is eight o'clock. That is early but I get up at three thirty which comes pretty quick!

I was asked by a friend to be a guest writer on her blog. Pretty cool if I must say so myself. It is going to be about what we refer to as the "black church" and the "white church." I am excited about it and have been thinking about what I am going to write.

Today I received a response from examiner.com and I will be writing on there as well. I am going to be the crime examiner for Bucks County, PA. I did tell you I was working also?

Oh well, I could have nothing to do and that would definitely be worse...

Another day of hard work. I spent the entire day editing. Tomorrow I will type the changes and my book will be complete again. It is funny because now I want to write a script for which I have absolutely no experience with. I read something today that defines what I feel about my writing. He said, "I am grinding like I only have twenty-four hours to live!" That is me. I am writing as if God is on His way. It is kind of scary to me but I can't shake the way I feel.

In a way it is good because it has me in front of the computer or jotting stuff down. I am eating, sleeping and drinking my ideas and stories. It was always there but now it is overflowing like never before. It is the most amazing thing.

I can't wait until next week because if I am unable to get it done tomorrow, I do have the two days off for Passover. I will get it done definitely before the end of next weekend. I am excited about that because then I will be ready to go again!

Then when it is done, I am going to finish my picture books while I query the middle grade and adult books. When they are finished I will move on to the next task which may be the script. I already have the idea in my head so I just have to get it down on paper. Remember, like I only have twenty fours! And, I plan on going to work in between. It is going to be a big task but success doesn't come easy. It never has and never will. I will be successful in commercial real estate and my books will sell. Success doesn't come if you don't claim it. I have done just that....

I haven't written in the past few days. I started in a new real estate office and have increased my hours. I have to make money and God presented my business partner and I with a wonderful opportunity. So, I am focusing on retail in commercial real estate in NYC and surrounding areas. We are in the marketing phase. I have the papercuts proving that I stuffed and sealed over four hundred envelopes yesterday.

When I leave the office, I am convinced I am going to write for at least an hour but that has not happened this week. I am off tomorrow and Sunday so I will be writing. My office is closed for two days next week in celebration of Passover so I can do a great deal of work then as well. I am looking forward to that time. I need to edit the final version of my adult book so that I can start sending query letters out again.

I gave my nephew my completed middle grade book to read. I wanted him to review it. Of course, my niece was offended because I didn't ask her to review it. Now she needs to have her own copy too so I have to go and mail her a copy over the weekend. I am excited that they both want to help me. In addition, children are honest and they will tell me if it is a good book or not. I think it is funny that I have them both signing contracts that they will write a one page review (at minimum) and have it returned to me no later than June 1st. I know they have school work so I wanted to give them enough time. Oh and you know it is for a fee. My nephew agreed immediately and requested fifty bucks! I laughed at him and we agreed to a lower fee. I have more for them to read so we will have to devise a plan.

I hope everyone has a safe week of happy writing!!
