Who Tagged Me? plus Thanks and a Video

OKAY, SOMEONE TAGGED ME TO ANSWER TEN THINGS (OR SOMETHING) AND I CAN'T FIND THE POST OR REMEMBER WHO DID IT!! I'm super sorry, but could you remind me who you are? *cringing and feeling bad, but still wanting to play*

Also, Thank you to Character Therapist Jeannie for the Lemonade Stand Award!
The Lemonade Award is a feel good award that shows gratitude or a great attitude


Also, thank you to author Nancy Parra who gave me the Superior Scribbler Award.


Thanks also to Tabitha for giving me the Panda award! Very cute. :-)

Everyone who's given me an award, you've made me feel very special. :) I haven't given out any but I hope to in a separate post soon!



Stand By Me: I love this song and thought the video was pretty cool.

You deserve all the awards. Did you re-vamp your blog? It looks really great! :O)

LOL Donna,
I'm really not famous or popular. People are just nice, plus I follow tons of blogs and this is spread out over time. I just tried to make one post of them. :-) I'd actually like to have your autograph please, since you sell short stories! LOL That's not something I've been able to do.

Those awards are very fitting for your post! You've earned each one. :-)

That video ROCKS. It's one of my fave songs, too. And that's a great rendition of it.

Have you seen the movie by the same name, BTW? SO SO good.

Have a great Saturday, blog queen extraordinaire!;-P

Hey Anita,
I saw that movie so many times as a kid, but it's been years now. I've loved this song too, though I like the later version rather than the first one. :-)

Thanks Sherrinda! :-)

Susan, that's great news!

I love seeing all of your awards. That must feel great. I especially like that lemonade one. Does that tie in with the idea of when life hands you lemons, make lemonade?

LOL Kathy, I'm not sure what it means but that sounds like it would fit. Esp. for writers, right? LOL

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?
