Award Thanks

I got these awards a while ago and I'm sorry I'm just now putting them up. Thank you, ladies, for thinking of me!



Thank you to Susan.





Thank you MaryBeth!

I have to pass this on to Susan because I met her shortly after starting this blog and she has always been so faithful in commenting. Not only that, but she is diligent and loyal in compiling a weekly update with prayer requests and praises. Susan, you're a blessing to know. :-)




Thank you Julie!


So many of you deserve awards! I'm watching my nephews and am a little busier, but I should be getting around to all of you today. :-)

Thanks Ladies. They're full enough. :-)
Awards are nice, definitely.

Susan! You're fine. :-) I'm pretty sure I didn't make it to your place either. Life does seem hectic right now.

Congrats on the awards, Jess!

I didn't think your comment on Jody's blog sounded cold at all. In fact, I totally agree. I tend to visit the blogs of people I've made some sort of connection with (like meeting you in person at the conference!) before I check others.

Hope you're having a great week!

Congrats on the awards, Jessica.

You're watching your nephewS, plural? So how many kiddos are running around your house today???

That deserves an extra special award! *grin*

Hey Karen,
Monday I just watched two, so it was five boys. *grin* On Tuesday, the three oldest were in school, but that afternoon, six boys. We spent a lot of time outside. Heh.

Thanks Katie! I'm glad it didn't come off wrong. Thank you for letting me know! My week's going good, just really busy.

Nancy, thank you. :-) I think we all deserve different kinds of
awards. Each person is so special, I think.

Hey Karen, thanks for stopping by! I wouldn't say I'm racking them up. LOL These are kind of older ones, but I'm still thankful.

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?
