Good morning, Seekerville! The coffee's hot and I'm sipping my first cup.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, winners! Loved all the posts last week. Such a great lineup in store for us next week. Great new graphics too.
Enjoy the day and the weekend. I'm putting the finishing touches on a FEB 2019 Amish continuity. Heading back to Yoder, Kansas!
Hugs!
Debby, congrats on finishing!
DeleteFebrary 2019! Good for you, Debby. Congrats!!
DeleteDebby, I hope you'll have a very productive writing day, and also hope you'll have time to step outside and enjoy our gorgeous Georgia springtime weather! :)
DeleteHugs, Patti Jo
Happy weekend, everyone! It's a beautiful day in the Atlanta area. I hope you're all having a bit of spring wherever you are.
ReplyDeleteNever too early to start working on the warm weather tan, Missy, LOL!
DeleteHappy weekend, Seekerville!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to the winners!
Be sure to check out the links. I found the "keeping your focus" post especially appropriate for me. I'm trying to fit in a full writing day today while the sun is shining and the birds are singing...our first real spring weekend this year!
But I HAVE to meet my Tuesday deadline, so I'll be working on keeping my focus!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
FOCUS. Always just beyond my grasp until I pray for it and then life becomes crystal clear. You won't stray far from my thoughts until you meet your deadline, Jan!
DeleteSame here, Jan. I have a lot going on, and I keep flitting from project to project, while eyeing the beautiful day outside.
DeletePraying for you as you head to your deadline, Jan. Appreciate your prayers as well.
DeleteRacing back to my story...
I made a lot of progress this morning, and am heading out for lunch and to run a couple errands.
DeleteThree more chapters to go until the end of the book. :-)
Thanks for your prayers, and I'll be praying for all of you, too!
Jan, glad to have a buddy on this deadline push. I'm home from church. Must tweak the climax and add the final scene. Then a last read through or maybe two. I'm into the home stretch, but it could be a long last lap!
DeleteHugs! Happy writing!
Thank you, Sharee! Congratulations to all the winners!
ReplyDeleteTuesday, we moved back home after eight months due to being flooded by Hurricane Harvey. It's not quite finished. It is SO GOOD to be home!
Happy Weekend Seekerville!
I feel your happiness, Caryl! 8 months! You're a rock star for riding it out. Take the weekend and just give thanks and enjoy!
DeleteCaryl, 8 months?? I can't imagine. But how exciting to be back home! :)
DeleteYay, Caryl! I'm so glad you're finally home!
DeleteMy heart is full with the goodness of the Lord!
DeleteOh my gosh!!!! I'm so glad for you, but I didn't realize you were still displaced, Caryl! God bless you!!!

DeleteHush, Pam Hillman! :)
DeleteHappy Weekend, Seekerville Friends!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS to the winners!!
I'm eager to check out those links as soon as I finish my WIP and send to my editor.
Wish I could share our perfectly beautiful springtime weather with everyone today! Georgia has gorgeous springs! (Of course I wouldn't give 2 cents for our heat and humidity in the summer, LOL). ;)
Hugs, Patti Jo

Looks like I'm not the only one checking in today, eager to congratulate all of the winners and looking forward to the week to come. But I can't say it as well as Ruthy, so I'll just give hearty AMEN to what she said.
