When was the last time I did a Wednesday check-in? A while, I think.
So…this has been an interesting week, keeping my friend’s ten year old son. We’ve watched Scooby-Doo (I fell asleep), The Aristocats (I fell asleep), Mulan (I fell asleep)…you get the picture. I haven’t been bored, just tired. His air mattress is in the floor in front of the TV, so we both fall asleep watching TV, me on the couch. I end up getting up in the middle of the night to go to my actual bed. I sure am going to miss the little rascal when he goes back home tomorrow. I take him to another friend’s house during the day, where she home-schools him with her own kids. This has all forced me to make, you know, actual dinner. LOL
Today, the narrator (Al Kessel from Storyteller Productions) that’s doing the audio book for Haunted Lake sent the first six chapters. I approved it, so we’re moving onto the rest of the book. I’m so excited! And as I listened to it, I heard, once again, why it’s my favorite of all the books I’ve written. I only got to hear six chapters, and I was SO wanting to hear the rest of it. Even though I had read it many times. Even though I wrote it. It’s just my favorite story.

Well, you got some good sleep, anyway. “Scooby Doo” was the live-action movie, right?
No, unfortunately, it was the cartoon series. LOL. I don’t think his parents would let him watch the movie.
Actual dinner. Lol.
Yeah. What a concept, huh?
Isn’t it great when your own book can make you feel that way?
Yes, Chris, it is. Haunted Lake is near and dear to my heart. I’ll always love it.
Oh it must be great to hear your book read to you. I’d love that. And good for you, dealing with all those kiddy progs. I’d be crawling the walls. 🙂
It’s really exciting. The first time I looked into it, it was way too expensive, but this time is isn’t. So yay!
I was SO glad to be able to watch Supernatural again. 🙂
You’re so funny. Having to make actual dinner. I feel your pain. I have to do it every day because my kids aren’t out of the house yet. I’m looking forward to dinner being a rare thing. LOL
It’s awesome that you enjoyed your book so much! I think of all the books you read, yours should be the one you enjoy the most. If you can’t get excited about your books, then what’s the point in writing them to begin with?
🙂 I rarely make dinner anymore. Hubby and I work different shifts, so we kind of fend for ourselves, although I will occasionally make something.
I really do like to go back and read my books a long time after I’ve written them. But to actually hear them read is such an awesome experience. And you’re right…we SHOULD get excited by our own books.
