And yet, I smile…

Tonight, a fellow twitter friend @Kristiecookauth inquired to how I was doing. Well, I would love to say that everything is peachy all the time… but then I would be lying to you and to myself. Because everything isn’t always peachy all the time… However, in the midst of the chaos and pain of situations I sometimes have no control over (and sometimes I have more control over then I realize) I can’t help but laugh, smile and just generally be “okay”. Now, sometimes I rip people’s heads off… just depends on the day and who I come in contact with...

It’s happened again…

I received a partial request… and I am immediately thankful I already started my first person rewrites… Sweeet! The funniest/craziest part of this request… I didn’t query for it. No, true story! Honest! I did query HER… sorta, if you could call that a query I sent. It was more like a “Umm yah, here is the deal *blah* and what do you think?” #truestory, you can ask her when she is my awesome agent…! Anyhow, my email was about my non-fiction stuff. And so she emailed me back and basically said she was “fascinated” by the ideas and then...

My goals this week…

Posted by on Apr 5, 2010 in Life, Nonfiction, Novels, Query | 5 comments

It’s my birthday week… yes, I am turning older… a whole year older. How does that happen? In any event, if I don’t make goals for the week, things aren’t going to go as well as they could. Turning older takes thought and consideration. If I don’t have it written down, I just might think too much about the fact I am almost old…er. So, goals… Yes. Finish my UNSEEN CHRONICLE on Good Friday events. Its a long one… I thought it would be a quick 2K story… now pushing 4 and I am not done yet. I am not sure why I didn’t expect that....

Goodness, I can’t believe it’s March already! I guess time flies when your having fun. I start week five of my running program (More like week seven or eight, but only on week five because I think the program is for super humans, not regular Joe average people like Debbie and I). I am loosely following the couch to 5K program from Coolrunning.com and listening to the podcasts by Robert Ullrey while I run… well I was, until this last week. The later you get in the weeks, the harder the program is… obviously. You are training for a 5K! So, I decided to cheat a...

Writing Updates…

Posted by on Feb 21, 2010 in Nonfiction, Novels | 0 comments

Time to do some serious… serious… writing updates. I put on my serious face just for this occasion. *serious* UNSEEN CHRONICLES: Some of you have noticed there is a new tab above labeled such. I am posting those as Serial Fiction now… so you can read them anytime. I have written eight chronicles based on true stories to total close to 30,000 awesome words. Hehehe, hey, it’s my story… and yes I think it’s awesome! I have six other story ideas which would probably bring my total up to novel length… But I think I am just going to continue posting them on...
