Summer is being boring

Which explains my silence. So before I move on Happy Birthday to spiffikins and belated birthday to dzioo & scribesds.

I am happy to say that one of the book publishers had prepared powerpoints for epidemiology which cuts down almost two-thirds of the laborious effort to create a new class. So yes, I will buy their book. The downside, this is the most BORING thing ever. God. I was falling asleep trying to read it.

I'm failing at finding a vacation to go on. I'm still angry a little about all of this. I had really wanted to go on the Alaskan cruise to the point I put off the plan to go to Europe like I wanted to for my 50th but there was the cruise with the family. That got canceled (and may go on because of prejudice girl next year because she and hateful husband want to go and that of course changed Dad's mind)

So now it's too late to get the tours I wanted so I guess I'm going nowhere unless I find something. I am not happy. It's very unfair and now Mom's mad at me for blaming her (well you know, all I wanted was one nice non-work trip for my birthday and now, I'm probaby not getting it)



Remembering me mentioning author newsletters bragging about unrealistic publishing schedules? I got this one today I have a busy publication schedule this summer with two new releases per month every month for the foreseeable future. Sorry, to me that just says quality has been sacrificed (even if it hasn't, I just don't see how anyone can turn out that much for months unless it's all short stories)

And speaking of my terrible chapter 10 with all the problems, I just read a mystery (that was otherwise good) that had her standing up three times in one scene without ever sitting down except for the first time and this was published by a major publisher (Penguin) so I guess it's not just me and my betas things slip past. Sheesh.
