I might be spoiled...

but I hope I'm just a very thankful, blessed woman.

I'm on my way to the Keys again. :-)

This time I'll try to grab some pics while I'm there. Not only that, I just discovered, to my almost eternal bliss, that my computer has wi-fi!!!! Yay! So I will have internet, though I might only be able to check in once in awhile.

I'm also trying to work on my WIP when I'm down there, so if my word counter hasn't moved when I come home, I give all of you permission to verbally flay me. LOL

*I'm leaving Monday morning now, due to a sick kid keeping me up all night.*

HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!!!! I don't know the last time I was in Florida - although, sometimes I feel as if I am in Florida when it's tourist season here *laugh*!

(Proud of you on the progress you are making on the WIP)

I'm so thankful to have met all of you through this blogosphere! :-)
Thank you and I plan to have a great time, even though I have to wait until tomorrow to go. LOL

Kathryn, it can be touristy but some places are not so bad. And some are really, really bad. LOL!
Thanks for the kudos. I really need to buckle down now. How's VK going? I'll have to hop on over and check you out.

Is it possible to be spoiled and blessed at the same time? Can you be both spoiled AND thankful?
I think probably, yes!
Have a great time!!!

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?
