September Author Newsletter

Life Stuff:

Wow, it’s hard to believe that summer is almost over! August has been a great month for us here in the Hurtt household. We got a new (to us) car that we both love. Ryan took two weeks of leave and we had a wonderful time catching up on some old projects, starting new ones, and just spending time together. I’d forgotten how important it is to be thankful for the little things, but last month was a great refresher course. J

We are on a health and exercise kick this month, so hopefully we will have some good news to report back to you next month. We’ve lost weight in the past by following the Trim Healthy Mama diet plan, so we will be doing that this month, as well as adding exercise in. That’s gonna be tough on this chocoholic couch potato, but our health is worth the sacrifice.

So, what’s up with you this month?

Writing Stuff:

I surpassed last month’s goal of adding 10,000 words, but this Rio novella isn’t done yet. I’m still up to my eyeballs in “Romance in Rio” (working title) and am closing in on the elusive Happily Ever After. It’s been a long journey, but I will prevail! New goals for September include:

*Adding 10,000 more words

* Editing it from beginning to end at least once

*Lots of Research

Wish me luck, friends!
