Procrastination is my friend. No seriously. We’re BFFs.

I’m back in Revision Land, this time doing a line edit and making some minor (and hopefully final!) changes on LOVE STRUCK (which is now officially available for pre-order!).

Note: You can tell I am officially in Minor Revision Land by the number of Post-its on my wall. When I’m in Writing or First Revision Land, there are more than 30 Post-its in several colours. It is pretty, but it is also a bit of a headache.

Now, there are only 7 Post-its!

Yippee.

Still, I don’t have a lot of time to do my revisions. I’m on a strict deadline. Which means I should be spending every free minute working on my book.

But I’m not.

Unfortunately, I chose this past week to have my website redesigned. The company I hired promised me that he would work quickly — I tend to have a bit of a problem when I decide I want to do something (cut my hair, get a manicure, the list goes on and on), I want to do it right now. Not in five weeks. I’m so impatient. The company said it would be no problem.

So now, the real problem is that the guy doing my site wasn’t kidding. He’s in Holland, which means every morning when I wake up, I’ve got a new change to my site that I need to approve before noon. I’m very excited, but it means I’m choosing the right colours for my new website rather than words for my book.
Yikes.

The good thing about being back in Revision Land is that The Hubs gets me dinner so that I don’t wander into the kitchen, get distracted and end up watching TV for hours. And Dinners by Hubs are the best. Today we had our friends over for brunch, so dinner was leftover almond croissants and pain au chocolat from Epi Breads with homemade jams from the farmers’ market on King Street West and Chai Lattes from The Tea Emporium.

Maybe that’s why I like being in Revision Land for so many days on end…
