This week sucked I said goodby to a good friend he is no longer part of my families life. I got poison ivy, I am on meds for that. I have not had much luck writing this week. The only good thing that happened is the anthology I am a part of has been published you can find a link for it on my webpage along with the Xmas anthology and my own book. I am working on the query letter for the one I finished the edits on the title of it is The Were I Have Become. I hope to get that one published traditionally. I am heading off to bed sleep well everyone Happy reading Happy writing

I was working in the yard and some how got poison ivy on my side. I am allergic to poison ivy, oak and sumac so I got a trip to the urgent care to get meds to help clear it up faster. So I got little writing done, I am planing on writing later today. I hope everyone is having a good day Happy reading Happywriting

At least it is for me today I said goodbye to a friend I had for years because I am tired of dealing with drama he brought into my life. I have had my fill of drama for a while, I am wishing him well but I wish him to stay away. I do not need my family or myself to hurt anymore because he chooses to allow the woman in his life to cause me and my family distress. So today if writing is done it will be sad or very angry and lots of fighting being done and one character will die before the end of this book. I am going to calm myself abit and try to center myself again Happy reading Happy writing

I woke up with no voice today but I do have it back now kind of ( I still sound kinda gruff or maybe froggy). Today it has gotten to 92-93 degrees(F) today which is really warm. I did not get any writing done but I have spent lots of time with my family which helps my mood. I am hoping to write later tonight but I will write tomorrow. I am hoping everyone had a wonderful weekend and hope everyone will have a great week. Happy reading Happy writing

Today I plan on resting and getting better, but I will be going for a family dinner with my mother inlaw later. I am wanting to try and write later just not sure it will happen. Tomorrow will be more resting and spending time at home with my hubby and kids before another week begins. I hope everyone has a good weekend Happy reading Happy writing

My day started off fine but I am in a really bad, dark mood for some ungodly reason. So I am trying to find a way to get in a better mood. So far not much has helped but I have hope that I will be in a better mood soon enough. I am going to be writing here in a bit I am hoping to get this novel done by the end of the year. I know this is a short post but I do not want to drag any of you down with my mood.  So I will just say Happy reading Happy writing

Today I woke up feeling yucky so today I got nothing much done. I still do not feel so well I am thinking it has more to do with allergies then a cold bug or anything. So today is just a day where I rest and relax. Tomorrow should be better and I should be able to write some. I did get the editing done yesterday and I did work on my third novel ( which seems to be going well now). I am off now to get ready to go get my kids from school. Happy reading Happy writing

Today begins week two of school for my kids, and I am hoping this is going to be a good week for me. But so far it's not so good I hurt my ribs on the left side yesterday while kite flying with my kids. They really hurt today, I am beginning to think I cracked or possibly broke a rib. I have not decided if I am going to the dr or not but I am trying not to move too much unless I have to. I am planing on writing here in a bit which means I will not need to move too much :). I am going to take some ibprophen( sp ) and get my butt in my chair to write. Happy reading Happy writing

Today we spent the day at a park where there was a dancer fuction today. The kids flew their kites which they got them pretty high up there. Then we bbqed burgers hotdogs pork steaks.all in all it was a good day. Right now we are kind of relaxing before we all take showers and get things together for another week. I may try to write some tonight before bed I might not it all depends on my mood and how tired I am. I better go get some stuff done before the kids take their showers. Happy reading Happy writing

Yesterday afternoon into the late night was the most horrible time for me. Lots of issues with people in my life. So I had a really bad night, and got nothing done that I wanted to get done. I woke up today with the worst headache, I got nothing done so far I am hoping I will get some writing done. I am hoping today gets better and tomorrow will be even better. I better get to work on writing maybe it will help my mood. Have a great day Happy reading Happy writing

My kids will be home soon and then it will be the end of the first week of school. This has been a really emotional week for many reasons but we have made it through it. I have done the edits I have gotten so far which is a good sign for me. I will be trying to write while waiting at the chiropractor's office this evening. Maybe I will actually be able to work past this emotional block I have had since last week. I am going to go get some housework done before my kids get home. It is so pretty out I might just do some gardening too. Have a wonderful day Happy reading Happy writing

I know I have not been posting the most involved posts, and that sometimes I miss a few days. I am trying to post daily but some days there does not seem to be much I can post about. I am sure you do not want to hear about the mundane(sp) day to day stuff that as a mother and wife I do. So I try to only post the bigger stuff (i.e. my kids starting school, about the death of a friend) and about my writing. I am trying to do better and trying to post things that might be mildly interesting for you. I would love you any of you to ask questions about things you would like to know. I will answer them in the blog posting after they are asked. My writing is coming along slowly after what happened to our good friend and fellow dancer. I have been mainly working on some edits I got back but that is slow going as well. But I am making progress. I am going to try to write more today. I may start trying to do some on days like today I am up earlier then I need to be. Our life is very very slow...

Is the visitation for our friend who was killed it the car accident Friday. We are not going because I do not wish my children to remember him that way. I am sending my condolences with the dancers that are going. I know that this is going to be a long week, it is now bedtime for me.

Today is the second day of school for my kids. Yesterday went well for them they took all there school stuff in so their book bags are lighter now so this morning will be a happier lighter morning. We had dance practice last night but no dancing was done we all just sat talked about our friend and everything we needed to. I am for the second day up earlier then I need to be but that's ok it's better then waking up late. I hope that the school year goes well for my kids and pray that there will be no more deaths of my friends. Well I need to get motivated to get myself ready to get the kids to school before I get them up and ready. Have a good day Happy reading Happy writing

I am still dealing with the death of my friend, but not I am also dealing with the guilt of wanting to move on with life and getting back to my writing. I know he would want me sad and being overly weepy about him being gone. I know he would want me to continue with my life. I just feel guilty that I get to move on and he had his life cut so short. We butted heads and all that but he was a good man and he was wonderful with my kids. He helped them learn their steps in dance and was one of the first to tell them how great they were doing. We are going to miss him a lot. It is 2 am here on a Sunday morning I think it's time I go to bed and try to sleep before I start thinking too hard to sleep. I hope you all sleep well Hug all you loved ones

This morning(8/9/13) about 2 in the morning a good man and a member of the dance group my kids are in was killed by a driver going the wrong way on the highway in a head on accident. He was a musician and D.J. And one of the nicest guys. Please keep his family in your thoughts here is the link to his memorial Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ryan-Roach/533718736695735

It looks like it might rain today which matches my mood kinda grey and gloomy. I am doing better health wise so my plan is to do my edits and try to write. I am also trying to get the stuff organized for the kids to start school Monday. Geeze I can't believe it's school time already, it seem like the just got out out of school last week. We have all the school supplies, I am finding all their nicer clothes that still fit for school. They need shoes but we will be getting them this weekend. I am now off to see how the room cleaning is going ( the kids are cleaning their rooms) then to my writing. Have a wonderful day Happy reading Happy writing

My charicters are not talking to me today on top of lack of sleep and bad acid reflux. Yay, but every will work out in a day or so. Soon my kids will be in school so I will have more time alone to write which will be a very good thing for everyone. I am going to call it a night soon, I hope everyone had a good day and have a good night. Happy reading Happy writing

The last couple days have been hectic but I am back. I have been writing but it's slow going which tells me I took a wrong turn somewhere. So I am back tracking to when the writing was flowing better and see where I went wrong. As a writer that happens sometimes, I will get to flowing better tomorrow after my son's dentist appointment. I have a few good sized apples on my apple tree now, just a few most were taken by squirrels and other little critters. I am hoping to get a pic tomorrow to post so you all can see how big the apples are. Well it's about bedtime for my kids and we have an early day so I may be heading there my self.

I am posting a paragraph of my next book if you don't want to read it close this post right now Here is your sneak peek My story begins with me in the large garden of my newly remodeled two story Victorian home. I was getting my garden ready for winter, when all of a sudden I heard a rustle of leaves in the woods. I looked up to see two very large green eyes watching me.  At first I just kept working until I heard a low growl come from the woods. I look up again and saw whatever was in the woods had gotten closer. I slowly got up and started backing away thinking 'if I can just get in the house I will be ok.'  I was within three feet of my back door when it jumped me, knocking me to the ground. When I realized it was a giant beast twice the size of any man. I screamed for help but the last thing I remember was the pain of being bitten and then it all went black. Please let me know what you think

I had to go to the urgent care yesterday evening I have a sinus/ ear infection so I am on meds to clear it up. The meds make me feel kind of foggy headed, so not much writing got done. I did work on what edits I got back. Then this evening we had dinner with my hubby's mom which is always nice. Hopefully I will be less foggy headed so I can get more writing done.  Now it's time to relax before getting ready for bed. Happy reading Happy writing :)
