Update of Sorts

We're three months into 2023. Normally, I'd have some sort of exciting news to tell you about what I'm working on. Want the truth?
I haven't written much this year.
​It's a shocker, right? Well, not so much, considering everything else I've been doing. And I did start the year off with a book launch in February, which took up quite a bit of time. So does editing. And my other jobs. And my kids. And you get the idea.
These aren't excuses, though. Simply life. All that to say, there's not much new to talk about right now. But ...

Tax season is *almost* over. Sort of. Just a few more weeks to get through Easter and tax season. Then, I'm hoping that even with the busyness of the end of the school year, I can still find a few more moments to just sit down and hammer out words. Because I'm full of ideas of all sorts. And I really do want to write. I'm just really tired by the end of the day right now.
And all of this isn't to say I haven't been writing at all. Honestly, I haven't been writing what I'm supposed to be working on, which is the two stories coming out in 2024. Oops. But, I have been dabbling a bit with a couple other stories.
One is a Christmas story about a girl and a guy and some mistletoe and ... I'm not going to say more because I don't want to give anything away. But I really like what I have so far. Maybe a future novella? Or a future short story? Working title is "Same Time Next Christmas."
The other story I've been working on lately I'm calling "Wrong Email, Right Guy." It's about an author. And a guy she accidentally emails instead of someone else. And ... yeah. I'm pecking out a scene here and there, but I'm only seventeen pages in. Still, I'm hoping it will eventually become a freebie for my newsletter subscribers. How does that sound?
Plans for after tax season? I'd really love to finish Must Love Jane. I also had a fabulous idea for a retelling of Cinderella set in modern day West Virginia. Who loves fairy tale retellings? Besides me, of course. But I do need to finish up a few more scenes my publisher requested for For Better or For Granted, which releases next March. And I actually need to write the rest of my Christmas novella set to come out next year--a matchmaking collection! 
How's that for plans? This summer may be full of mad word sprints. But that's okay. Because the rest of the year is jam-packed full of releases! Whew! Three more before Christmas. Are you ready?
Which plans sound most exciting to you?
