Some updates with humor

Welcome back.  If I haven’t lost anyone that is. 🙂

Well, seeing as October is almost over, I might as well update everyone on what I’ve been up to since my last short post.  Besides shopping for costumes, decorations and Halloween treats,,, I’ve been actually doing some writing to the sequel of my first book.

I honestly can’t wait to have that damn thing written.  Not only for my friends sake who’s bought it, but for my hubby who’s constantly getting harassed by co-workers on when is the next one coming out??  Don’t worry, it’s not in a bad way,, I guess they liked the first one that much that they can’t wait to read what happens next instead of just thinking on how I’m going to end it.

Oh,, and if your on twitter and haven’t noticed yet,, I’ve changed my handle name on there.  It’s now @OfficialKDFord. 🙂  I’m the one and only,,, plus after this sequel is done,, that’s how I’ll be known as for all my future books – K.D. Ford.

And I do want to apologize for not having the 2nd book done by now.  I guess that hater done it’s toll on me with it’s negative comments.  But I guess it’s still a learning curve that I have to over come.  I’m not going to get everyone liking my stuff.  Nor should they, everyone’s likes things differently.  And I accept that.

However, in saying that, I’m only human.  Some things that gets said will stick with me no matter what.  But I’m learning to make that the driving force for me to carry on.  To show the haters they won’t knock me down, and that the only thing they are doing is making an ass of themselves.

OK, check list,,,

Mention book — check

Update twitter — check

Stick middle finger up to the haters — DOUBLE CHECK!!!

LOL  That felt good 😀

Thinking as I’m typing as to what else that needs to be said to update you all.

OH !!!  A friend of mine and I are going to have our own little webseries going.  I know I’ve been talking about it off and on on Twitter (not so much on Facebook yet), but trying to arrange the times for her and I to actually start this adventure is a little tricky.  Considering I’m in Newfoundland, and she’s living in the Shire.  No, not the one in New Zealand 🙂  Her shire is in the UK.  So to figure out timing is critical in pulling this off.  But make no mistake, once we get this started,, there won’t be no stopping us.

Mind you, in the meantime,, I do have plans on doing some video blogs on my own youtube channel.  But again,, it’s the timing.  When I’m not doing housework, or running errands, or just having a lazy day, I will do one.  I can’t remember the last time I done a vlog.  But I’ll do one…

In the meantime, I do have to run off.  Housework won’t get done by itself.  Where is that damn house fairy??

Anyway,, you all have an awesome day.

Much love

K. ❤

Looking back and Aiming ahead.

Looking back on this past year and I have to say that it’s been a pretty good one.  Besides the usual birthdays and anniversaries, there was our trip to Cuba, spending time with the kids and planning for upcoming adventures.

There’s also been some down sides to 2014 too.  So this is where 2015 will be different.

I’ll be doing a lot of soul searching this year.  Friends who treat me as a back-up are not my friends.  And weather they read this or not, I don’t care anymore.  You chose who you want to hang out with, so don’t start questioning why people who you were close to are not there any longer.

Will I stop and chat if I see you out and about???  Yes.  I’m not THAT stuck up.  Will I gossip on this one or that??? NO!  If you want to know something, go to that person,, not me.  But just know that I’m not going to sugar coat anything any more.

Some things in 2014 I’ll forget it ever happened.  I want to start 2015 with a clean slate, fresh ideas and REAL friends who are there to support me in what ever I do.

I’ll be spending less time on social media and only posting updates of my adventures on my author page on Facebook (which is linked to my author account on Twitter).  So you can do one or the other,, or both to stay updated.

So, what will I be doing if I’m not online???  I’ll be concentrating on writing my books.  I have the sequel to finish from my first one, and I have a couple others started as well.  And the only way I’ll ever get them published for this year is to stay offline and get it done.

Plus, I’m aiming to write a Best Seller.  It may not happen this year, but it will happen.  With the support I’ve been getting, I know I have a good chance at it.

And speaking of support, I’d like to take this opportunity to do so now.

Besides my husband (and kids), I’d like to thank everyone for putting up with my ramblings on Twitter; the games crap on Facebook (which I know is annoying as hell), and everything in between.  To my inspirational friends for kicking me in the arse on twitter or facebook to do what I’m supposed to be doing.  Dustin Pari, you’re full of awesomeness (and lemon pie 🙂 ).  Alexis Cruz for great chats when I’m bored as hell, 🙂 .  To Roxanna for taking me on some excellent adventures, and giving me some amazing ideas to draw from in my future books 🙂 My BFF.

To Margaret, Kahlil, Champa, Lisa, you girls are amazing. Strong, inspirational and smart women, and I’m thrilled to know you all.

Now seeing as I’m a huge fan of The Hobbit,, it’s only right that I leave you with this little song sung by the awesomely talented Billy Boyd.

Thank you all for following my blog, and for being an awesome support in my life’s journey. XO
