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

Updates and whatnot…

Yes, I’ve done it again.  I’ve changed the look of my blog to a Christmasy look.  And yes,, I realize it’s only the middle of November,, but that’s cause I will not decorate my house until the middle of December.  I have neighbours now that has their lights on, and decorations out on their lawns.  But I will not be joining them.  Having this stuff up this early is nuts.  And it takes away from the joys of it IMO.  By the time Christmas comes,, I’m tired of seeing all the lights.  But that’s just me.  To each their own.

And yes,,, I realize it’s been a month and a half since I last posted.  I do have other things going on.  Although, I blame that Farm Ville 2 on Facebook.  I’ve been on there more times in a run of 2 months that I’ve lost track of what I’m supposed to be doing.  Do I feel bad?  Hell no.  It’s fun, plus it passes the time.  Do I get housework done?  For the most part – yes.  Not very fast though,, but it does get done.

And then there’s the shopping for gifts for my family and some friends.  I pretty much know what I have to get, and I’m not going to list them out as these people I shop for will no doubtly be reading this.  So in that in mind,, thank you all for standing by my side all these years, and for not letting me quit any projects I’m going.  And for being a shoulder when I needed to vent.  Or to just be silly with.  Some friends will pretend to be there for ya for their benefit.  Those are the ones that I’ll ignore.  Not that I want to, but to the fact that I don’t need the drama they carry with them.  That doesn’t mean that I won’t be here for them,, cause I will.  My door will always be open,, just not to the bullsh*t.

Now on to a more happier update…

I’ve officially started chapter 2 of my sequel.  I know, I know,, IT’S ABOUT BLOODY TIME !!! LOL.  At first I was doubting myself because of that 1 (or 2) hater(s).  Making me doubt myself and my work.  If it wasn’t for one particular friend, I think I would have scrapped the idea and went on to another story idea.  So I will forever be grateful to him.  And of course to my husband, who’s always been by my side in this adventure.  Giving me the encouragement I needed to continue.  Plus informing me of the mounds of co-workers who’s hounding him for the next book, wanting to know what happens. LOL.  I thank each and every one of you for such support.

To the 2 haters,, I want to thank both of you too.  You’re just a constant reminder of why I want to continue my writing.  If you want to keep hating and making others feel like they are in the wrong,, then you’re doing a bang up job.  But you’re the ones looking stupid at the end of the day.  I won’t be naming you, as that’s just what you’re waiting for.  Instead I’ll let ya mold over the fact that your attempt to stop me from doing something that I love and that I’m actually good at has failed.  I’ll be sure to thank you when I’m being interviewed for writing my first Best Seller.  :p

Wow,,, I think this is the most I’ve written in one setting in a very long time.  Other then writing my TV reviews that is,,, they took much longer.  Which is something that I’m hoping to get back into again.  But those will be published on my other site, IN THE KNOW.   Be sure to follow that site too.

Anyway,, I think that’s all that’s on my mind for the moment.  It’s almost 11am and I have yet to start on housework.  🙂

Thank you for popping by and taking an interest in what I have to say.

Until next time,

K, xo
