Kindle Fire may not have been a good idea….

Okay peeps here it is. I am loving my Kindle Fire, but I have been so busy downloading books like a crazy woman that I am not writing. So I have zipped up my zipper and put the Fire away. I finished Cherise Sinclair’s ‘To Command and Collar.’ Awesome book by the way. Absolutely love her Shadowlands Series. I have tons of books on my fire that I really….really….want to read, but I have to set a limit. Three chapters on Jared’s book before I can take a break and read. Oh and Angry Birds is not helping either. How addicting is that game. Ugh…. Right now I am going to post this and get into writing mode. We are at the the in-laws watching UFC. Some awesome fights tonight!!! Hope everyone has a Happy New Year and please be...

Miss the smell of Borders Bookstore… :(

Yes, I said it! I truly miss the smell of Borders Bookstore. Okay, let me explain. It’s the new book smell I miss, not the other funky smells I’m sure were floating around in there. It was my favorite place to go because I always found something I wanted to read and I was among friends. I would walk in and take a deep breath as the new book smell hit. I know…I know…. I am a true dork in every sense of the word, but totally honest. If you love books then you know what I am talking about…you know you do so don’t deny it peeps. LOL! So as I was thinking of missing the smell of a new book, haha, I thought how cool would it be to have a printed copy of Damon? Ah, well pretty dang cool. I am going to start looking at Amazon’s...

Taking nothing for granted!!

Welp getting ready to head to bed for the night and get ready for a four day week. Did some writing on Jared’s book tonight. Getting excited about it. Feeling good about it finally. I have been going back and forth on how they meet. I have changed her name from Trisha to Tessa. It just didn’t seem to flow to me with Trisha. So funny how that works. I got a really special Christmas gift this year from my nephew Caleb. I posted about him in a earlier post. He is a name to watch for. He is writing a book that is too cool. Anyway we were at my in-laws Christmas eve opening presents. I sat more toward the back so I could watch everyone open their gifts. I love to watch everyone’s reactions as they open presents. Caleb’s mom hands one back to me....

Another Christmas has come and gone.

Well another Christmas has come and gone. Got some goodies and a Kindle Fire from my wonderful husband and son. Spent quality time with the family which is so important. Hope everyone had a great holiday with their loved ones. Now I am hoping to change a few things in the new year to come. I have never really done this before. I mean I hope to always better things no matter a new year or not, but this coming year I hope to focus more on some things than I have in the past. Just a few are; being a better mother, wife and person, but also working more on my writing goals. I have spent so much time trying to get my name out their with Damon’s book I have totally put Jared’s book on the back burner and that’s not good. I also feel a little pressure...

Rambling

Hey everyone I’m back! I missed a couple of days of posting and that’s not good, but life got in the way of writing and posting. It’s all good though. Trying to get done with Christmas shopping and all that stuff. Got a little grumpy tonight because of rude people, but happy now that I’m home with my family peeps…yes that includes you all. First of all I am soooo excited. I have had 2, yes, 2 sales in the UK. OMGosh I am soooo excited about that. They may love it, like or hate it, but I don’t care. I’m just excited. LOL! I know…I know….I’m strange, but happily excited. You know I have to say that this journey has been a blast. It has been stressful, crazy, a big learning experience, but most of all it has...
