Yup, I’m Jumping on the “Bloggy-Break” Train!

Thank you all so much for visiting my guest post at Southern Writers on Wednesday! Loved your comments!

So, I’ve decided that since my brain is all but derailed this month, I need to take a blogging break. Still waiting to hear back on submissions for my Viking novel (yes, I’ll freely admit it’s been almost 10 months of waiting now!), and I’m still writing my next (non-Viking) novel to take my mind off my wait. I’d like to get this one finished by January, which means I need to add a mere 40,000 words between now and then.

SO, I’m going to hunker down and write. I’ll miss you blog-readers dreadfully in December! Your comments just brighten my days. I promise to be back and hopefully refreshed in January. AND if I get any spectacular news between now and then, I’ll definitely share with you!

Merry Christmas and let’s hope it’s a VERY Happy New Year…2013, here we come!

–Heather

    DL! Where've you been? And sorry about that. Come back in January. Do you have a FB author page? Mine's http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heather-Day-Gilbert/255797467834948 and I'll try to check in now and then throughout December over there.

    I might be boarding that train with you, Heather. I'm worn out from NaNo and other projects. I hope Santa brings you some good news! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Anyone else “harvest” this tiny crop when you were Anyone else “harvest” this tiny crop when you were younger? I caution everyone against eating most wild berries that look like this, but I know right where to find these in my yard and love the taste. They’re #teaberries. I wish I knew more about foraging, since my #appalachian ancestors would’ve been great at it.
