Have you noticed? 2012 is sneaking up on us, just a couple of days away. So in the spirit of starting anew, I thought I'd share my goals for the new year. 1) Finish Book 2 in first few weeks of January. Really, this isn't a goal so much as a requirement, since it's due just weeks afterward, but still...I like to see it there so I'll feel all good when I check it off. 2) Order promo materials for REASON in first week of January and figure out what I'm doing for local advertising. Tomorrow I'll talk about just how outside my box that is. *shiver* 3) Write 20 guest ... Read More
Real or Fake?
That is the question!! I grew up with artificial trees because my brother had allergies, and the second I moved out (okay maybe not the very second...since it was July) I started getting real Christmas trees. I love a real tree. Love the smell and the feel of them. Love that it's different every year. My daughter started naming them each year. Then I remarried into a "Artificial Tree Family". *insert dramatic music here* This was difficult for me.

Not the normal girl…

I have more than a few friends like that, actually. I do love to eat, and I do love amazing food. But it doesn't come from me. I dig out a post it note with absolute disgust when the fridge gets pathetically skinny, knowing that I need to go to that place with the carts and the aisles and the endless cans and packages. I go out of guilt, because you can only stop for Sonic and Dairy Queen so many times before your family ... Read More
Revisions, dreams, and potato chips
Finished editor revisions this weekend...YAY!!!! HAPPY DANCE! Well...maybe it's too soon for the happy dance. I finished them, I sent them, with a note that I took out all 543 "glances" and 88 "eyerolls'. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but truly, once I did a search on those, it was scary. Editor Extraordinaire (EE) thought so too, as she pointed out many of them (hence, my curiosity to search). But as I was saying, the revisions may be sent, but until EE does the sign of the cross on them, they aren't final. And I'm playing with a new character the last few days. From a distance...she ...
