My teaser this week is from  Nook page 23 of A Lot Like Love by Julie James:

Over the last six months, he'd posed undercover as everything from a drug dealer to a thief to a con artist; he'd spent nearly thirty nights in jail, and he'd taken down twenty-seven corrupt Chicago cops.  He could certainly handle one billionaire heiress.

There he was standing on the sidewalk, staring at the fire station trying to figure out which was crazier.  Him having to fight to put his life on the line for free or being interested in a woman who probably thought she could take him in a fight.

Going to Camp

Well, I'm not literally going off to summer camp.  I am participating in Camp NaNoWriMo, though.  This is the summer version to November's National Novel Writing Month.  I wasn't going to do it this month.  I've been in a bit (okay, a lot) of a funk in regard to writing, publishing, etc.  I've just been feeling bad about it all after another round of no's for my novel that I've been shopping.

Then I saw something on Facebook today that gave me a much needed wakeup call.  It basically said, "Never Give Up."  I thought about the number of times I've suggested that other people not give up on their dreams and realized I'm not really practicing my own advice.  So, after giving myself a mental smack down, I'm not giving up.  I'm done being in a funk and I am back to writing.  I've set my camp word goal at 30,000 words for July and happy to say that I have written 1,200 today.

I'm never giving up.  I will continue forward, one word at a time.
