Welcome to (or back to) Austen Promises! Below are my news and updates for this week. Enjoy!

Can you believe it’s the beginning of August already???
I didn’t get a whole lot of writing done this week; just under 1,000 words is all. Time to buckle down and get busy!

I wrote an extended epilogue for A MUCH Later Meeting. For now, it will remain unpublished except for on my blog, the Austen Authors blog, and at darcyandlizzy.com. It’s sweet and makes me tear up every time I read it.

I had an extra day on the Austen Authors blog this past month, and it was yesterday! You can read the extended epilogue at this link. My next post is scheduled for August 17th.

I’m once again writing at home. Ohio’s governor has declared masks a requirement, and I don’t want the bakery people to get in trouble, so home I will stay. I’m trying to be an adult and do my job without supervision. My issue is that #5 Adaptability strength I have. I see my home office and my brain goes, “Oh! Look! Free time!!” Then, the phone dings and I have to look at it, and the email dings and it must be dealt with right then. I’m sure you can see my problem. I’m going back to putting the phone in the bedroom (assuming I remember it before I and the dog get settled) and doing writing sprints. Between those two, I ought to make some good progress. Crosses fingers …
I had a great couple days with my friend last weekend. I did get lost going to pick her up at the end of the trail she rode her bike on, but it was okay, because she got lost, too! LOL

I have seriously fallen off the good health wagon this month. I’m taking steps to get back on, though.

I got a rug and a cushiony pad for my office, so I have something soft to stand on while I work. You may recall I got a sit/stand desk so I’m not always on my ever-widening behind.

I discovered recently that the August section of my big laminated wall calendar was numbered wrong. For whatever reason, when I numbered that month, I followed June’s numbers instead of starting August on a Saturday. SMH No wonder I was so messed up when I tried to figure out my Austen Authors post for that month! LOL
