Tag- I'm it.

Hey, I got my first tag ever by Susan of the Christian Writer-Reader Connection.

Here goes seven things you might not know about me.


1. An extra bone in each foot
2. Love to learn foreign languages
3. Got married two days after high school, and I wasn't pregnant :-)
4. I love to dance but got no groove
5. I'm 5'10
6. Though it's not my normal style, I love the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Stop groaning everyone. Sheesh.
7. Hhhmm, can't think of anything else.

I tag Haleigh, Candi, Karen (a very sweet irritable mother), Anita and Chatty Kelly. I'd like to tag more but either you already got it or I'm tired of copying and pasting my blog list. So if you're not on here, I still want to know!!! Leave it in my comments or tell me where I can go to find out about you :-)

Dancing without rhythm is the best kind! But you know who had major groove?

Napolean Dynamite. We could both learn a thing or two from him.

Thanks for the plug. I can't imagine why anyone hasn't tagged you sooner.

Who's Napolean Dynamite? Is this another generational thing? LOL.

What languages have you studied? Are you fluent in any of them?

Questions, questions. I have so many questions today.

Blessings,
Susan :)

No, I wish I was fluent! Was working on Spanish and French for awhile, but now that I'm a stay-at-home mom it's really dropped by the wayside.
Napoleon Dynamite is a movie that some would say is very stupid. But for some reason, I see in it an innocence so I like it.

Oh, and I forgot to add how interesting you are. ;) An extra bone in each foot, aye? How does one come to know about that? X-rays?

And the word count's looking great! Keep it up...

We All Got to Learn to Do It Sometime

*grossness alert* We all have to learn to deal with doo-doo eventually. Consider me a newbie mom, but it never occurred to me that my son should be wiping himself until about a month before kindergarten. And then the flashbulb went on and I scrambled to teach him. One problem. He didn't want to. He's fastidious and doesn't like to make mistakes, so the thought of taking care of this daily chore literally reduced him to screaming and crying on the toilet. Basically, he didn't trust himself. He was afraid. Scared to get his hands dirty. Afraid he'd miss something. This is probably weird, but it made me think of us as writers. There comes a point where we have to "grow up" and trust ourselves. We can't always rely on a crit group, agent, or editor to wipe up our mess. I think this should be a part of maturation for every writer, that we can look at our work and be confident in our ability to clean it up. Not saying we'll make it perfect or that we won...

Work First, Play Later

I'm back! I had a wonderful time with my family. Thank you all for asking. :-) In 2009 my schedule evolved into a blog first/write later kind of thing. It happened that way because my husband began using the computer in the afternoons and evenings for his project, but now that I have a router, my schedule's changing. It's time to work first, play later. That means I do my chores/errands in the morning, write at naptime, and visit your wonderful blogs in the afternoons and evenings. So if I don't show up in the morning, don't be alarmed (if you even notice, lol). I'm just changing things up. I'm too exhausted in the evening to write, that's why. During the day I have way more energy to write but at night there's a fifty percent chance I won't do it because I'm so tired. When's the best time for you to write? I also need to shout out my awesome crit partner, Linda Glaz! Some of you may have met her at ACFW. She's a wonderful, faithful, ...

Melodramatic Mother

Mom, this one's for you. *wink* The other day we were on the phone and my mom was describing some of her ailments to me. She's normally a healthy person, but she does suffer from allergies and sinus issues. She's also a vivid person and this comes across in her language. In this case, she told me her pain was skewering up through her nose. Skewering. She never finished the description because I laughed. What a perfect word! Strong, to the point, I had an exact (if somewhat gross) image of what was happening. Do you have a vivid person in your life? Someone who thinks in ways you forget to? And in your WIP, are you using the strongest verb possible to convey EXACTLY what you mean?
