3rd time's a charm...

Today is October 18th, my second self-impossed book deadline.

I almost made it, too.

While it seemed I was in the home stretch the last time I blogged, Friday proved to derail my plans.

To make a long story short, my husband John was suffering from a severe headache so we came into the ER Friday morning. All his blood tests & cultures came back negative, but with no relief of his headache, they wanted to test for meningitis which requires a spinal tap. Well, one of the side effects of the spinal tap is a severe spinal headache, and since that is what he has been showing textbook signs of, they are pretty sure that's what it is. I won't bore you with any more medical stuff than I can explain, but he feels fine while laying down, if he stands up, severe headache.

So I've pretty much been here everyday. This being day 4 I brought my laptop, since there is wifi in the hospital :-) and will try to catch up on some writing. Although trying to work on the masturbation chapter has been amusing with nurses interrupting me...

So I don't have a new deadline yet, I am just going to get through today and go from there...

One step closer...

So, this has taken so much longer than anticipated, but I don't care because I am having fun! We are still on target for a Spring 2011 release, which is good, since I would hate to disappoint all of my loyal followers and friends!

Let us not forget, this is one of my busiest seasons for parties AND I am off to JAMAICA for te Goddess getaway in just 9 days! I will continue to write at every opportunity, as well as do parties right up until the night before we leave.

I haven't written any articles for awhile either, which is interesting, because I have been reading so many lately. I do not want to write weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly just because I am scheduled too. I write when I feel I have something to share.

LIKE NOW!

So my super wicked awesome and super talented friend Tia Buono Kelley (sorry it will take me awhile to get used to that) and I finally sat down and layed out the final deisgn for the COVER! That's right, who would have thought it would have taken so long to choose the font! Once we placed the photos, it all came to life!!!

BUT, I am not going to share it just yet. It is about 97% done, there are a few more stars that need to align, and when that happens, I will post it on the book's Facebook page.

I haven't blasted the fan page yet for the same reason. I wanted to wait till I had the cover, so I set it up as a placeholder and people have been liking it...COOL!

So, one more thing checked off the list, and several more on the way!

It's all coming together

How the hell is it October already?

The days and months are just zipping by and, once again. my self-impossed deadline is lurking. I have 12 days to finish the book, 17 before the Goddess Getaway to JAMAICA!

Things have been moving along. My wicked awesome BFF is designig the cover. We wrapped up the Sexy Photo Contest voting for what pics people want to see in the book, and it is almost finished and ready for proof-reading my awesome team of "friends who volunteered to proof read"!

All in all it has been an awesome experience. Athena's has been on fire during this time as well! Our latest video for October just goes to show what a talented & creative team we have at the helm!

It all started with Athena's. From Goddess, to team leader, to dream coach to author, to {insert next big thing here}

More writing today, hopefully completing another chapter, fingers Crossed!
