My friend Jaime Morrow and her sister Erin Funk came up with the WHAT’S UP WEDNESDAY meme about a month ago. Here’s Jaime’s explanation about it: “It’s similar in some respects to the Currently… post, but it’s been whittled down to only four headings to make it quicker and more manageable on a weekly basis. You’re invited to join us if you’re looking for something to blog about, a way to let your blog friends know what’s been going on with you.”
WHAT I’M READING
Eyre House by Cait Green. It’s taking me longer than usual to read … and I don’t mean only this book, I mean lately. I’ve been so, so busy that my reading time has become scarce. Eyre House is a great read so far, and I wish I had more time to read and finish it!
Besides, I have 3 more books waiting for author blurbs I shall provide them by June 18th, so I have to find more time somehow …
WHAT I’M WRITING
Since last Sunday, I wrote 8k words … I’m writing the climax of Breaking the Reins now and it’s intense :)
Hopefully, by next Tuesday, when Ready. Set. Write! starts, I’ll be ready to start writing Everlast #2.
WHAT INSPIRES ME RIGHT NOW
Music as always. I just rediscovered this one: We’re Just Born this Way by Neil Davidge from the score of PUSH.
Other writers. Seriously. It was awesome meeting other writes and authors at BEA, and I feel so great about writing and books right now. I know I said this quite a few times, but it’s worth repeating over and over again: the writing community is so great!
WHAT ELSE I’VE BEEN UP TO
– I went to BEA last Saturday and it was AMAZING! Here’s a quick recap and some pics!
– I joined the Ready. Set. Write! summer intensive *wink wink* Here’s yesterday’s post about it.
– I’m going crazy with the NA Crush Tourney going on at NA Alley. It’s just … it’s fun, but it’s TOO MUCH work! I’m not complaining, not at all. I love this NA Crush Tourney thing! By the way, the nominations are open and if you read any NA book and liked the hero, click here to nominate him!
Now tell me, WHAT’S UP WITH YOU?
Don’t forget to stop by Jaime’s post and check out the linky of the awesome writers who are participating of this meme!
Cheers,
Tracy Rohlfing
You are crazy busy, I don’t know how you do it :)

Sounds like you’ve got quite a bit on your plate – but all of it is oh so exciting! Congrats on the great progress you’ve made on your WiP and best of luck getting that climax all figured out, too.
And so happy to read that you had such a fabulous time at BEA – one of these years I’ll make it; it sounds like so much fun!
I also just submitted my votes for the NA Crush Tourney! :) Way too much fun, that’s for sure!
Happy Wednesday, Juliana!

Whoa! Nice job on the word count this week! I only wish! Good luck writing the climax of your story. I keep hearing about the soundtrack for PUSH lately. I’m thinking I need to check that out sometime. :)

I´m always very impressed by your dedication Juliana :D Hope you rub off on me during Ready. Set. Write! :-) And your BEA post makes me all kind of jealous and all kind of happy you had such a great time!

8K in a day!? So impressive! I’m also super excited for Ready. Set. WRITE! :)

I had to look at your BEA post, and I’m so jealous! Hopefully I’ll be able to go one of these days! I hope some of your word count magic rubs off on me during Ready. Set. Write. because I really need to get a first draft written :)
