Yesterday was a busy day, my kids had a preformance that morning so we all had to be up super early. After the preformance it was lunch time, we at at the busiest dq around. Then at 2 my kids had to get shots which went ok I think. When we got home I believe we all fell asleep till it was time for dinner. I did write a little after dinner then we all called it an early night. So far today  I have looked over the edits I got. As soon as I post this I will be working on them and writing. I hope you all have a great day Happy reading Happy writing

So yesterday I was fighting a headache, I got no writing done. Yesterday was also my mom's birthday, we( my kids,hubby,myself) called and sang her happy birthday. Since my head hurt so bad I  tried to call it an early night. I ended up not going to bed til after 1a.m. I did do the edits I got and working on my writing a little now it's time to eat lunch before going about the rest of my day. Have a good day all

Today I have not been in the best of moods I have been crabby and short tempered all day. I had a meeting with my kids dance director all is well. A friend stop in for a visit before heading to Georgia for business. I did not get any writing done I should have stayed home and worked on my writing. But the day is over and tomorrow is a new day I hope it is a better day. Happy reading Happy writing

Started good I did some edits, spent time with my kids. When hubby got home we went to the chiropractor. When we got home I made dinner, that's when it went from a good day to a not so good day. I burned my finger while making dinner. It's not too bad but it hurts. So I am trying to do things one handed. This will make writing interesting lol.  Well I need to get some stuff done. Have a good day. Happy reading Happy writing

It was soo nice out yesterday and today. We tried to spend as much time as we could because we have no idea how long this lovely weather will last. It's kinda late and I am going to be heading to bed here soon. Just wanted to pop on and let you wonderful people  know I have not forgotten to post and I will post more tomorrow. Happy reading Happy writing

Today started with me taking my kids to the park for a while since it was such a nice cool day( which is odd this time of year) then when we got home they had lunch. I did some edits, before working on a few other non writing thing. Then when my hubby got home we went an registered the kids for school and picked up the school supples we ordered( it was offered thru the school). We ate dinner when we got home then I put the kids names on their school stuff. The kids had their showers and now we are relaxing til it's bed time. Today has been a very good day Happy reading Happy writing

I was so busy with my kids yesterday I fell asleep hard last night. In the morning my daughter had an ENT appointment, her ears and her hearing is perfect so she should not need to be seen by the ENT for a while. I am so happy she is ok. Then we spent time together til it was time for their practice. I spent time writing while they had practice. When got home everyone was tired so we all went to bed. Today I am planing on writing more, like most days. I am going to get breakfast then I am off to write. Have a great day Happy reading Happy writing

We spent time at my parents' house today, I helped my sister cut her sons' hair and gave them a copy of the article about me that ran in the Alton telegraph(I put the link in yesterday's post). Then we came home and changed the brakes on the car ( yes I helped hubby do that). Did some shopping did dinner and showers for the kids. We are now watching silly stuff that makes us laugh before the kids go to bed. We had an ok day and hope all you wonderful people had a great day Happy reading Happy writing :)

Yesterday evening went well, we had dinner with my mother inlaw and we had a lovely time with her. We all went to bed not long after we got home (we got home around 8:00p.m.)  which was not so great since I was up really early this morning. Which I used it to check the normal stuff on line then started writing but I ended up rewrite a few pages before I actually made any progress. This is the life of a writer. The only reason I stopped just now was because I was not paying attention to the charge on my laptop and it about died. So I saved my work shut it down and put it on charge. Now it's thundering out so we may be getting rain soon. Well I am going to get something to drink and relax until hubby gets home to do the dinner thing :)  I hope you all have a great day  Happy reading  Happy writing

Today is better, I am not in pain. I got some writing done and will be doing more here soon. Today my cats have been all cuddly today which can be distracting. I am starting to get excited about the article about me that will run in the Alton Telegraph on Saturday. I will post the link Saturday for the article.  I hope it gets more readers for my book :) Well I better get back to my writing, I hope you all have a great day. Happy reading Happy writing

I am having a rough day so far. I woke up with a migraine from hell I finally got it too ease to a mild pain so I can work. I have been trying to write but my muse is no where to be found, I have no idea why she is MIA. But I really need her to come back, I need to be writing I need to finish this novel and start on the next one soon. No I do not have anyone giving me deadlines but myself I feel it's a good way to motivate myself. My kids are being wonderful today knowing mommy's head hurts. They keep checking to see how I am doing. They are so sweet, they even brought me a pillow and a cover so I can rest. They are playing in their rooms, and being really good today. Well I better get back to working on my writing. Hope you all have an awesome da

Today was an early start day because I had to go see my ENT to make sure my ear tube was seated right. The tube is seated good and it's clear. The ENT is unsure why my hearing on my right side( the right ear has the tube in it) is still muffled. I will not see him again til October, hopefully all will be well then. Yesterday I got an email from a company that wanted to add a soundtrack to my book but with how I have my book published it would not be worth it for me to do that. I am off to write for a bit hope you all have a wonderful day.  :)

Has been a lazy day, I have not been feel very motivated. I did get some edits done but most of my day so far has been read or cuddling with my kids and my cats. This evening my kids have practice and I will be writing there while they practice.  I am off to spend time with my hubby, he just got home and he needs some cuddles too Have a good day everyone

I decided to give you all a peek at my book enjoy                                                                    Chapter 1 ‘ Why are all the best places to eat in the worst parts of town? ’,  I thought as I walked under one of the                                                                                                                     few  street lights still working to light the road and sidewalk.  I smiled when I saw my destination. I walked into a nondescript building where a heavy set man with blond hair was behind the bar. He looked up and said “Hey Nir, want your normal meal?” This was Pete's place and it is called Pete's place of course, which makes me giggle for some odd reason . I waved “No Pete, let’s try O negative this time.”                       As Pete brought me a bowl of what looked like tomato soup so not to scare the living costumers, I said, “It is kind of quiet out tonight,” while before looking around at the p

It has been very nice out most of the day which is helping everyone's mood I think. I lost a bunch of my apples to squirrels  but I still have a few, I am just happy it has apples on it. A picture of one of my apples. I spent most of my morning working on edits and I did write a little, I plan on working on more writing later. My kids have been getting ants about going back to school which will be the 12th of August as far as I know. They are growing up so fast and it makes me feel old. I know this is all part of being a parent and them growing up is a part of life. Ok enough of the sappy mom, Well it's time I go back to mommy mode. I hope you all have a great day and please feel fre to comment on any of my posts

Yes today was odd nothing went wrong tho nothing went really right either. I did do some writing and will be doing more later. I did some edits as well, but spent a lot of time with my wonderful kids. It is beautiful out today not too hot but it's sunny and bright, it is great for ones mood when one has been feeling down is of late. I found so neat pics I want to share I hope you enjoy them

Today is/was a rough writing day, I was working on my novel when I got stuck. So I took a break from it and was working on the edits for the one before. Then I tried to go back to the other one  but still did not get any where so I am not working on it till maybe tomorrow. I am already tired and its only 12:20, this is going to be along ass day. SIGH

I get asked from time to time for some advice so here is some advice I give. If you want to write then write even if its only 15 minutes a day. When you are done writing you start editing and when you think you are done give it to someone you trust and have them edit it. Then edit it again, when you feel it is ready write up a query letter and shop it around to agents and publishing houses. Do not give up! You will make it one day give it time. Here are some images that help me when I feel downhearted I hope they help you too

Today has been a good day so far, I have been working on my page edits I am getting from a friend who is better at it than I am. I have been trying to write on my other book I have been working on but had to rewrite part of it because my computer lost them. I fixed the issues with the computer.and got the pages rewritten. If you did not read about it  I was Interviewed yesterday by a journalist for the Alton Telegraph the story will be in the paper on the 20th,  It's about my book/me.  I am sorry to all those I over looked emailing yesterday after the interview, I did not mean to over look you.

I just got off the phone with a journalist with the Alton Telegraph it will be in the paper on the 20th of this month. It is/was my first interview and I am excited to see it in the paper.

We have Internet back so I will be able to keep you all updated on my writing and all that

My 4th of July was very nice we bbqed and we watched the firworks. But when we got home we had no internet there is an outage of some sort so I may not be able to blog as often as I want to but I will try to blog when I can

Today has been a busy day with my family, we did some shopping that needed to be done along with some that did not need to be done just yet. I am writing this very sleepy since we have been up early. So this will be a really short. Sleep well all my lovely fridys

I was doing things with my family inside since it was a rainy day. Then hubby and the kids went downstairs and so I could write without much interruption. I had gotten an email from an editor for a local paper. He asked that I call him which I did but I caught him at a busy time and he would call me back later, in the mean time he asked that I send a couple pictures. I sent the pictures and I am now just waiting as patiently as I can. By the end of the day I was so tired I forgot to blog. I hope you all have a great day :D

Today started ok and was ok till my ear really started to hurt. It got bad enough I went to the urgent care it turns out I have an ear infection and will be on antbiotic for a week or so. I finished my last class I passed it, so all I have to do is work on my writing.
