And It Starts….

With just a couple more days left to go and all my sanity will be put to the test.  So much to do before holidays that I’m getting lost if all the stuff on the to-do list.

The usual housework, editing and writing my sequel, I’m hoping there’s time in there for just me.  But I doubt it.  Plus tomorrow is the last day of school for the kids and I don’t see me getting half the stuff done as I’d like before.

And before I go to far ahead,, yes, I’ve changed things up again.  I think this is the one I’ll stick with for a while.  Or at least until they come up with another theme that I like more.  I hope that eventually I’ll find one that is more in tune to who I am.  But for now, you will have to put up with my constant changing my mind, lol

Anyway,,,,

I think I’ll start posting some ideas for future books on here.  Then again, it could end up for some other persons book.  I’ve been asked if I ever thought about writing about Autism, seeing as I have a child with it.  I have, but there’s so many books out there about the same thing that I didn’t see having another one out on shelves about it too.  But then again, as it was pointed out to me, that my experiences concerning Autism is totally different then the others as they are either written by doctors, or other parents from their own experiences.  So I guess the idea of doing one from my own point of view, and how it has effected me is still an option.  Though, if I do, I know right now that there will be people that might get offended by it.  And I know what some people will say, “that’s their problem,” or “write it anyway, it’s your book, write what you want.”  As much as you are all correct in saying that, and it does make sense, I should write what I like, but in the back of my mind, I know some people won’t feel that same way.

I do have an idea of a collection of short stories to put into a book, an idea I got from a friend who’s done the same thing.  Or a book of poems.  But I only have a few of those that I actually wrote.  So here’s something for you all to put in your 2 cents.  Give me some ideas as to what to write about.  Topics or general ideas.  But for the love of God, don’t say I should write about characters of TV shows.  I’m sort of doing that now and it’s a real headache.

I’m reading a book by John Scalzi – Agent of the Stars, and I must say, it’s a pretty interesting book.  Mind you I’ve only just started it the other day, but I like it.

Sorry to cut this short, I have a house problem that needs my attention.  The joys of owning your own place. It’s times like this I wish we were still renting, 🙂

Anyway, until next time.

Just one of those days

Have you ever sat in front of your computer or laptop, or even have a pen and paper laid in front of you and not have a clue what to write?  Well, that’s me right now.

I’m sitting here, with a chocolate chip muffin, cuppa tea, chatting with a friend and longing to write something interesting for you all to read, and I’m stuck.

Usually you can’t shut me up.  I’m always talking about something or other.  As you can tell by the amount of tweets I’ve tallied up in the span of almost 3 years.  But yet, today when I have a moment, my mind goes blank.

I guess I can update you all on some cool things that’s been happening to me lately.  Well, they are cool to me (and a little shocking – but not in a bad way).

Apparently, my book is a success.  And I say that cause I didn’t think I’d sell one book, let alone all 29 of them.  And most of then were sold by my hubby at his work.  I took my book out of the total. 🙂

So far from my friends who’s read it, or part of the way through, have enjoyed it.  One friend even went to far as to say that she “LOVES IT!!!”  I have the best friends a gal could ask for.  To be so supportive and encouraging me to keep going.  That is a rare thing and I treasure them all. XO

But for the most part, I’m happy.  Now all I need to do is to write the second part of the story so I can give it a proper ending.  I’m like most of you when it comes to stories that continue, but I wanted to see how well it would do before I would dedicate the rest of my life to writing.

Yes, I’m a full-time mom, and I love my family bunches, but I felt that there was more to me then what everyone saw.  I was missing something and I think this writing thing has filled that gap and now I can give myself another title.  AUTHOR.

Wow.  Didn’t think I’d ever get to say that about myself.  But there it is.  And I’m proud of what I have accomplished so far.  And those of you who have read the book (or plan on it), trust me, there’s more to come. 🙂

Until then, I’ll sign off with this:

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
