Diet=Torture

It's so easy to pack on the pounds, right? But torture to take them off. I gained twenty pounds over the past five years. Of course, I expected to lose the twenty pounds in a month, right?

Anyway, I've been on a diet for about seven weeks now, and I've lost fourteen pounds. Not bad. I count my calories, and every Saturday, I cheat a little. Let me tell you, I look forward to Saturday every week. I've already decided Thanksgiving day will be my cheat day of the week.

As far as publishing, it's been a roller coaster ride. I turned down an offer for a manuscript, but now I've received another offer. The manuscript is on submission with another publisher, though, and I'm still waiting to hear from them. I'd like to make a decision on it soon. I have four manuscripts finished, waiting for a home. Plus, I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month, so it'll be five soon. Like I said, it's a roller coaster ride.
