Is  going to be a hectic week, today I have spent time trying to write some but I just keep thinking of how much stuff I need to do before Friday. Tonight my kids have practice, tomorrow afternoon my kids are getting a shot :( but they need it to stay healthy. After we get home from the dr's office I will start getting what I need for the weekend together. Wednesday and Thursday will be the same, Thursday evening we will be having dinner with my mom in law. Friday after the kids are off to school( my daughter has grandparents day with grandma) hubby and I will be going to Archon to get all the badges and to go to a couple panels. Then we will get the kids, after homework we all will be going up as a family to Archon. I will give you all updates on Archon stuff next Monday. Happy reading Happy writing

My day started at 5 A.m. to get my kids and all their things together for their performances. The kids got up at 5:45 got them dressed feed and went to where we were meeting the rest of the group by 6:45. We did not leave til 7:45ish drove/rode for almost 3 hours to where they were performing. Then set got them in there outfits they preformed 3 performances. By this time is was about 3 p.m. then everyone got in to their normal clothes and put everything we set up away. We all stop for dinner at a Chinese place. We ended up not getting home til almost 7:45 p.m. It was a long busy day but a really good day. I think it might be an early bed time night tonight. Happy reading Happy writing

I woke up thinking of a scene in my wip(work in progress) but as soon as I sat down the muse moved me to write something that had nothing to do with my wip it is for something new and I am unsure what it will become just yet. Yesterday I made some progress on my writing but had to stop to go to my parent's home they need help with a few broken tree limbs that fell. We did visit some before we headed home to get everything ready for today and ready for bed. Today should be a calmer day for us so I should get to write more after the kids get home from school like I wanted to do yesterday. I have to eat now that my kids are at school and hubby is at work. I will be getting back to my wip when I am done eating. Happy reading Happy writing

Save all your writing everywhere you can!!!! This is my advice always save your work in more then one place I found out the hard way years ago and last night I thought I lost it all again last night. I thought I lost all the work I did for the last few days last night. I was in a huge panic when I could not find it anywhere I normally save my writing. I prepared myself to rewrite everything I could remember. Then I looked in a place on my computer I would not normally save it and I found all my work. When I found it I saved it everywhere I normally would I even had my hubby save it to one of his hard drives he has. I am going to get to my writing now Happy reading Happy writing

Which is what it say the writer is trying too hard to write and makes the muse stop working with the writer. I am thinking to hard and trying to force the writing. So I am blocking myself and making my muse stop working with me. I am taking a break, I am just going to relax and get myself out of my own way and allow my muse to lead the way again. I am hoping to finish this novel by November so I can work on my nanowrimo novel with out interruptions of the characters from this book. At least I hope they don't but you never know. I have also been reading over some critiques I have gotten for my last book and trying to work out the issues it has that I feel is ok for me to change with out really changing the flow of the manuscript too much. I think I need a fresh pair of eyes to look at it for me, but it has to be someone I really trust to read it and give an honest opinion. I am going to get some lunch now I hope everyone has a great day Happy reading Happy writing

My weekend so far has been good, my kids were off Friday so they got a 3 day weekend. Yesterday our trucker driver friend stopped in town long enough for him to spend the afternoon with us which was really nice. We all went to dinner ( hubby, the kids, our friend, and myself) and just hung out until we had to take him back to his truck so he could get to his delivery in Kentucky this afternoon(it is Sunday now). I am up at almost 5:00 a.m. for no other reason then I can't fall back to sleep. So I decided I would get on here to keep all you wonderful people that read my blog which I thank you very much for. As for my writing it's not going as well as I hoped I have been trying to write but little things are distracting me so my attention span kinda sucks. I am hoping that today will be better, well I think I will go curl up with hubby and try to go back to sleep. Happy reading Happy writing

Today my kids were off school so not much writing got done. I did wash all the bedding and pillows got bed made. Just waiting on hubby's and my pillows to dry. The good that happened hubby came home early. Which was nice till we had a talk about a tank he bought and I have no use for ( it's a fish/ reptile tank) and that burst his bubble.  Now I feel aweful and he has no idea because he is still on his pity pot. Oh well we will both get over it soon enough. Well time to see if the pillows are dry so we can go to bed Happy reading Happy writing

When I got up this morning when I got on to check my emails after getting my kids to school. I found I got an email from a reviewer by the name of Rachael Rippon saying she reviewed my book Nirvash, a Vampire's Tale on her blog http://rachaelrippon.blogspot.com.au/   so I went to see and this is what I found  Book Review: Nirvash, A Vampire's Tale This is her opinion and I encourage you all to get the book and form your own opinions Happy reading Happy writing

The dance yesterday went very well except the fireworks started earlier then they should have cutting the preformance a dance short but that's ok. My kids had a lot of fun, since there was all kinds of stuff we had to do I did not get much writing done. Which is ok I had a good time hanging out with my family and the dancers. I hope everyone had a great weekend Happy reading Happy writing

I know a lot of people believe this day is a bad luck day. Well I believe this is one of the luckier days I have always believed this is a good luck day. I also think if you stay positive everyday not just on Friday the 13th you will have a happier life. I have kind of forgotten that for a little while but I remember now and I will try to stay as positive as I possibly can. I hope you all do too :) In my writing I got some done yesterday and a little more this morning before taking a little nap. I will be taking my lap top with me to my chiropractor appointment so I can write while I wait to be seen. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend Happy reading Happy writing

Twelve years ago today one of the worst day in American history happen 4 planes were used to kill so many people. 3 planes hit three important buildings the twin towers and the pentagon. The 4th went down in a field because the brave passengers rushed the cockpit and kept the plane from hitting another populated town. I will never forget where I was this day twelve years ago. I was working nights at the time. When all this happen I was asleep, my husband came home waking me up. He told me what happened. I cried for weeks after everything I cried for all the people that died, I cried for their families. About a month after I found out I was pregnant with my son so I cried for fear of the world I was bringing my child in to. Today I am honoring all the lives lost this day twelve years ago and all the lives lost since to keep us all save and free. I will always remember

Has been a really lazy day, it was raining most of the day. So we did some things inside, right now we are waiting on dinner to finish cooking. Then it's time to get things ready to start another week of work and school. We all will be going to bed at a decent hour so we are all nice and rested for our busy week. After we eat and everything is ready for tomorrow I think I may try to write some before bed. I have been trying to get my query letter done for my most recently finished novel. I am hoping I can get it traditionally published this time. Well dinner is about ready so I will go and have a nice family dinner. I hope everyone has a great evening Happy reading Happy writing

My writing lately has not been going so well but I am trying to get back in the writing groove again. I guess my life has had too much drama for me to get the right amount and kind for my writing. I am working on getting myself centered again to help with my writing. I know all this has got to be boring for you but I feel if I tell you all what's going on you will understand me and my writing better. I do have good news the summer anthology I took part in is out so please check it out on my site I have a buy it button linked to where you can buy it. I am off to try and write some, have a wonderful day. Happy reading Happy writing
