My MASSIVE To Do List

I had a great time at Balticon this weekend even though I was busy with 10 panels/workshops. It was wonderful to see everyone and hanging out with my writer friends. Now I need to get back to work. Here's a list of what I need to do before I can go relax at the beach on June 25:
  • Revise SCENT OF MAGIC
  • Write a short story for THE BEST LAID PLANS anthology
  • Write a travel article about Australia for b Magazine
  • Write a synopsis for TASTE OF DEATH (bk 3 in the Healer series)
  • Write a synopsis for another series to be written after Taste Of Death
  • Prep for talk for the Valley Forge Romance Writers
  • Present to VFRW
  • Attend the Book Expo in NYC in June
  • Prep for Seton Hill's residency (I'm teaching two classes) and writer's conference (I'm leading one workshop) Here's the link: https://alumni.setonhill.edu/page.aspx?pid=673
  • Attend SHU's residency and writer's conference

The list is rather overwhelming...impossible maybe?  I also have a number of family obligations as well (graduation parties, concert, birthday party), plus packing for the beach vacation.

Shall we take bets? Will Maria finish her TO DO list? Yes or No? 

I'll post updates as I work through the list :)

    I know you can do it Maria!! Might have to give up a few hours of sleep or something...;)

    But, as it is said in many of the old Adam Sandler movies by Rob Schneider, YOU CAN DO IT!

House Cleaning

I'm cleaning out my inbox.  It's amazing just how many emails can lurk below what I can see on my computer screen.  I think they hide there, hoping I'd forget about them ;>  I've long since given up my goal of being "caught up" with all my email replies.  Now, if I'm only a week or two behind, I'm feeling pretty good. As with all house cleaning, I've been finding a few items of interest that I've posted below. Links: I'm participating in Brenda Novak's Annual Online Auction for Diabetes Research - I've donated a set of Australian Study books that you can bid on and raise money for diabetes (I'll personalize them and sign them for the winning bidder :). Here's a link to the auction (lots of goodies to bid on): http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/ and a link to my books: http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2132967 INSIDE OUT was mentioned in The Independent on Su...
