So if this were my 42nd book, instead of my 2nd... if I had a list of bestsellers and a couple movie deals under my hat... THIS is how I would be spending today:
8am: Wake up early enough to feel productive, but not so early I feel hostile.
Brush teeth, make coffee, head out for nice sunny walk
 |
| And maybe I'll have a yard like this to cool down in... |
9:30am: Arrive home to Sven's fresh fruit and yogurt with granola and maybe a mimosa, as it's a special day (Sven is my in-home chef I will hire)
 |
| Sven can get very strange, but that's how I roll... |
10:00am: Head for my spa treatment: massage, facial, mani/pedi. I'll take a buddy along if y'all want to start sucking up now...
Noon: Lunch with a couple girlfriends at a nice rooftop place with sun and fabulous food.
 |
| This is what I have in mind: a laughing lunch. |
1:30pm: Head to a couple bookstores and ask if they'd like some copies signed... flocked by fans in the parking lot and have impromptu signing
 |
| Would ya LOOK at that mob!? |
3:30pm: lounge with a good book for an hour or two.
 |
| Might need a flight for this one... |
6:00pm: Small party with family and friends featuring fresh crab, artichokes, brie... all my favorites...
 |
| What? They might be my friends... |
9:00pm moonlit swim in a nicely heated pool.
But instead, this is my second book and I am at my day job... I AM taking Thursday off, as I have an event that night at Aunt Agatha's and I want to get my hair done and take a day to enjoy it...
So what do you think of my plan? Am I missing anything you'd include?
Only one thing I would add: a blog giveaway: one of your lucky blog followers gets Sven for day! Congratulations on your book release.

ReplyDelete*strokes Sven*
Wooohoooo! Congrats on your release day, Your Tartness! And that sounds like the most perfect plan on celebrating the birthday of your latest book-baby. <3 The laugh luncheon sounds like something I could really get into. :D
ReplyDeleteOh I think if you got that release you'd fantasize how nice it was when you were a shiny nearly new published author and everyone just was so THRILLED with you! Plus all those naked guys? They just leave the toilet seat up and eat all the pizza and drink all the beer.
ReplyDeletehope you just stop from time to time to look at the view! Just got home with the new pup. gosh, I'm smitten.
LOLOL!!! I love it! I want to go to the laughing lunch! :D And boy.... just passed a mirror. I could use some spa action myself. :P
ReplyDeleteSUPER CONGRATS to you! Whee!!! Geaux, Begonia Bribe!!! <3 <3 ((hugs))
oooooo I love your plans.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the book!!
I want that day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Hart. Two books down, many more to go.
I just picked up your book at my local bookstore! (Pause for me to shout cheers of joy.) What a gorgeous book -- you must be so proud!
ReplyDeleteSome time ago I gave up on fantasizing about how I'd spend my bestseller author days 'cause for me (unlike your successful situation) fantasy was looking too much like unhealthy delusion. But may I still borrow Sven? For cooking, of course, just for some tasty meals and not for anything else...
Yay! Congratulations on your book release (and good luck too). I think your plan is fabulous and only 40 more books to go ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations with the release. I hope your book sells like icecream in Hell >:)
ReplyDeleteCold As Heaven
Pretty sure your plan is perfect as is! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your second book release!! WOOO!!!
Woohoo, what a day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day off and big Congrats on your second book! That's fabulous! :)
