Back to Normal

I'm finally getting back to normal...whatever "normal" is. As of yesterday, the final copy of Taming Kate is winging its way to my editor. "Final" isn't quite honest, though. Once a book is turned in, it goes through a few more incarnations, including copy & line edits and later, author alterations. But for now, it's done. Hooray!

As far as "normal" goes, we haven't been having normal weather here in Kansas for quite some time. After a wet summer, we're having a very wet fall. The year has been so wet that forecasters expect 2008 will surpass 1951's 50.48 inches as Wichita's wettest year ever. But at least the weather has cooled off enough that we can turn off the AC and open the windows. Nights have been in the 40's. Great sleeping weather, but not so good for waking up. It's a bit chilly in the morning and requires a snuggly robe before donning long sleeve shirts or even sweatshirts and jeans. I'm just thankful we were able to get our lawn mowed before the rain we've been experiencing for the past three days hit.

Now that life has slowed down a little, I hope I'm able to get back to my blog schedule. It's definitely worth a try, so check back tomorrow!
