Wow! Simply, wow! Congrats to your hubby on his HUGE catch.

Do tell. Is this for real or a "fish story"? When? Where? How BIG?

LOL Keli, yes, this is a real fish. He catches monsters like this all the time. People like to go with him because he knows where the "good" spots are. LOL

I'll get the details for you. I don't mess with fish. LOL

Whoa, that IS a big fish! My cousin loves fishing, too, but a monster that size would pull him right overboard, lol. :)

Whew-wee! That's deep sea fishing, right? My hubbie would love to try that some day. :-)

So, here's a question I've been wondering about for awhile. Do YOU clean these monsters and cook them, Jessie-girl? I just can't picture that for some reason. SNORT!

Hi Jess -

Wow! Is he going to have it mounted or are you filling your freezer?

Congratulations to your hubby!

Blessings,
Susan :)

Hi Susan, no, that fish has long been eaten (I think). LOL No mountings. :-) Thanks for the congrats.

Hey Stephanie,
He caught this awhile back actually. We probably ate it, but I don't know... Heeehee. He actually catches big fish a lot.

Angie, I def. feel thankful that we both have passions in our life that we're not afraid to go after. :-)

Anita,
You can't picture it because I would never do it! LOL I feel like gagging when he needs me to bring stuff out to him when he's cleaning them. Major Yuck! And Jimmy loves cooking/frying the fish up. He's a really good chef with fish. ;-)

Everyone else, I know, I'm completely amazed at the stuff he catches out there. It's crazy!

Nancy,
I don't cook fish. *wink* But I'll be happy to pass those recipes onto hubby. :-)

Hi Keli,

This is a snook caught in the Gulf of Mexico. Snook is an awesome fish to eat but I just found out that we didn't eat this one because we can't keep ones this big.
So this Big Guy is still swimming out in the ocean somewhere. LOL

Hey Terresa,
It's a snook. :-) Yeah, it was too big to keep. :-(

You Are A Story (Repost)

How do you view people? I didn't have much interest in people as a kid. Once I discovered books (kindergarten, guys), the life within them seemed more real than the bustle around me. I cared for and liked people but I didn't really see them as interesting. Until I landed a job at my local newspaper. As a freelancer, my editor expected a story on a person every two weeks to grace our Neighbors section, and it needed to be interesting. The story was supposed to focus on a local resident's unique skill or talent.  I was blind, not understanding, wondering how I could find these "special" people. My editor forever changed my perspective. He told me every person has something unique, something special about themselves, even if they don't know it. It was my job to find that slant and spotlight it.  Now everyone I meet I'm full of curiosity about. Who are they? What's their story? Where have they been and where are they going? If you were a story, what g...

My Call: The Journey

I sold to Love Inspired Historical !!! Here's how it happened: " You should write a book. You'd make more money doing that." In 2006 my editor at the newspaper I freelanced for told me this. In that moment, a lightbulb went off in my head. Write for money? Sure, I'd written stories all my life, but to actually write a book and be paid for it was a concept that had never occurred to me. That same year, I started a historical romance. Why historical? Because Love Inspired was launching a historical line in 2007 and I was aiming for that. I also love reading historical romances. "The characters should be talking by now." So said agent Steve Laube at my first writer's conference in 2007. He'd gotten to page 7 and my heroine was still thinking of backstory. I made every newbie mistake with that first manuscript. So I read articles and did my best to make the manuscript shine. Then I submitted it to agents. Form rejections. I decided to submi...

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...
