Evil Mornings

I'm not a morning person.  I have never, and will never, like the morning.  Usually, I'm still awake at 2 am, and therefore, waking up at 7 like most people do, is horrible.  My week has been full of early mornings.  My daughter is in the afternoon class at her school and because of conferences and what not, she's been going to school in the morning all week.  It's been horrible for me, and her.  She hates mornings as well.

Because of horrible early mornings, I have been soooo tired that I haven't gotten a single thing done lately.  I'm editing what I can of Healing, but it's slow going.  It's hard to edit your own stuff, because you know what you mean, but that doesn't mean your reader will.  I've had times where I'll write something that makes complete sense to me, but when I have someone read through it, they look at me like a deer in headlights.  So, editing my own stuff has been a bit difficult.  I've got the spelling and grammar part pretty much knocked out, but the, 'does it make sense' stuff is a little bit more difficult.

I am doing my very best to get it all out as soon as possible and am very optimistic that I will have Healing out before the end of the year.  Please, do not hold me to that.  I hate that I haven't released it yet and it is a constant thing nagging at my subconscious.  I would love to put it out, but I know that it needs a bit more work, and disappointing my readers with a subpar text would be worse then holding off a while longer.

So, please, hold on a little longer.  I am optimistic, as you should be.

In closing, I'm sorry it's taking so long.  I am trying.  So, goodnight from California, where I will be awake for quite a few more hours, working and just enjoying my free time and dreading the toll of the 7 am alarm clock.
