One
What I’m Reading
Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke. It’s not a book I would have picked for myself, but I’m enjoying it. It was a birthday present from a friend. I love getting books as gifts because it challenges me to read things I wouldn’t have otherwise.
I started Boneshaker, by Cherie Priest, on audiobook. It’s to fulfill the Popsugar Reading Challenge Category: A Steampunk Novel. So far, it’s okay, but I can’t say I’m loving it.
Two
What I’m Writing
In my August edition of “Five Things Friday,” I told you I was just starting the edits on Not Dead Enough. I’m happy to say that I’ve finished the paper read through. Now for the oral read through, and then I’m ready to start querying it… yay!
I’m also still working on my other book, The Cycle, and I feel like I’ve gotten into the groove of writing it. Normally I wouldn’t be working on editing one book at the same time I’m writing another, but these are so different that it’s no struggle keeping them in separate mental compartments.

What I Read This Week
I finished Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon (rated 4 stars on Goodreads). I can’t believe I’ve never read this before!
The new Writer’s Digest issue.
Apparently Alan Alda is a writer… who knew?
Four
When I Wasn’t Reading
Well… I was cleaning up around the house. Let’s just say I have an older dog and leave it at that. I was also editing and writing.

Favorite Picture of the Week
These guys made me laugh with how they’re passed out, like they’re exhausted!
What have you been up to this week?
