This week at Magic & Mayhem we’re talking about our summer plans. Two Mayhem authors have really really big plans, but me on the other hand, I don’t have plans that will be as cool as theirs. (Not even close.)
1. NYC Baby!
This summer I’ll be heading to the Romance Writers of America conference in New York City. It will start on Tuesday June 28th and end on Friday July 1st. I’m so excited to be going since I’ll be reconnecting with many writer friends and I’ll get a chance to meet my editor Tricia.
I’ve never been to NYC before so I plan to see everything I can and eat, eat, eat. The nice thing about RWA is that I’ll be able to get some awesome books and eat at the same time!
2. Finish Writing KEPT
The second book in my hoarding werewolf series is coming along nicely! Matter of fact, getting Natalya’s family to not spill their secrets to me is difficult on most days.
3. Finish editing my young adult manuscript.
I have a YA book on the burner and based on my agent’s editorial notes it needs various spices and herbs before I toss the football back to him.
And that’s it!
Strangely, I noticed that this year’s summer activities look similar to last summer’s. LOL
Summer of 2010 Todo List
a. Finish editing COVETED for submission (book 1 of the series)
b. Finish writing a young adult book
c. Attend the RWA Conference in Orlando
I wonder if this means I’ll be able to predict my summer in 2012… Hmmm…

Hi Shawntelle,
I saw you on Caroline’s blog and decided to check your blog out, which sent me here. I’m glad I looked and I cannot wait to read your book!

Sounds like a great and productive summer!
I have plans to finish a YA manuscript, too. Some day. *sigh*
