Running In Place

I could take a picture of the dogwood turning red outside my office window but it would be through a set of blinds and not nearly as pretty as this leaf.

How did it get to be almost October? Really, I feel as if I've been running in place all month. I can't even take a few hours off for a nice lunch with fellow writers without coming home to feel as if I'm half a day behind.

I think I'm making progress, but it just doesn't feel like it.  My revised manuscript is due October 1, but as far as I'm concerned, the book is done, so a revision isn't the same thing.  I've been working on formatting old manuscripts into e-books, but they have to be re-formatted so many different ways for so many different readers that I'm not feeling the love there either. I'm playing with still another urban fantasy that won't be as sexy or violent as what's selling out there, so chances are good that I'm spinning wheels to even bother. But I like it, I want to write it, and so it must be.

Right now, I'm trying to transfer the cover of my kindle books to this blog with a cute little button on blogger, but it's not working. Never has, come to think of it. My html skills aren't up to anything that fancy, I guess. And so it goes.

Anyone else out there making better progress than me?
