Xcuse Me...While I Slip In2 Something Comfortable

...So after much deliberation with myself, I have come to the conclusion that I need to be temporarily off blogger. Now lemme xplain: I really, really wanna finish Every Woman very soon and start looking for a publisher. I cannot look for a publisher when the book is not finished; that would be a careless and costly mistake because if I eventually find a publisher and have no book to present, they will not take me seriously.

Every time I turn my laptop on, I feel obligated to do blog rounds first, which as you all know is time consuming. By the time I go thru ten blogs, I'm too tired to write. This, as you can imagine, is not good for business. Besides, how else am I supposed to buy the Range Rover SUV I've been dreaming off? Yesterday, I even asked my friend Ibukun to give me a deadline to finish Every Woman, so she gave me December, but I told her it was too far away; she changed it to September 15th. With God on my side, I intend to finish on or before September 15th 2007. So the bottom line is that I am taking a sabatical, but I will definitely do my blog rounds as often as I can without pressure. Pray for me, please.

If you want to contact me:

verastic@yahoo.com

443-834-7374

p.s. If you call and I do not pick up, please leave a name and number if you want me to call you back. I'm really not too keen on calling an unknown number and saying, "Hello, this is Vera; someone called me from this number."

Oh, and if you call directly from a land/house/office phone, please leave your actual name on the voicemail because if someone like Guy Horny calls and leaves a message saying he is Guy Horny, how am I supposed to call his office and say, "Hello, this is Vera; may I speak to Guy Horny, please?"

...that's it for now, till I come back.
