I’m back from having my medical testing and no problems were found. The whole issue turned out to be the result of a typo where the word ‘No’ was omitted. Oh, well. Now, tomorrow, I’m driving my father to a medical procedure bright and early in the morning. Today, I need to clean and organizeContinue reading “The Family Museum”

I’m coming back to life, but I have another short delay. I was hoping to write and go back to my writer’s meeting this week, but I have some medical screening tests, better safe than sorry, that I need to do which will take up my first two days off. Still, I will do whatContinue reading “February”

Christmas is finally done. I’m skipping over Valentine’s Day. Not enough time. I am a person who likes my holidays. No new writing yet, but I’ve started thinking about it and getting anxious to complete some projects. This is my week to work and the little time I have in the evening before bed getsContinue reading “Moving On”

I’m trying to recover from being away for most of January. I’ve been working on genealogy, but I need to get back to writing and cleaning and other pursuits. I’ve been here at my house and at work, but I haven’t been online as much and not writing at all. I wasn’t able to goContinue reading “Rejoining the World”

I just lost a whole post I wrote. Easy come, easy go, I guess. But it wasn’t easy. I let the holidays take over my life. I’m still trying to get my decorations down, and I delivered the last gifts yesterday. My work week starts today, but I have sworn to work an hour aContinue reading “Genealogy”

I’m going to be running behind for the holidays and less regular. I took a week off to shop, cook, clean and clean again for Thanksgiving. Christmas is even worse in terms of the preparations I need to make. And, Holidays are important after all and spending time with our loved ones. I will stillContinue reading “Holidays”

I’m working on my marketing skills. I’ve practiced adding headers to my social media posts so that people will know what books I have available. I have a long way to go with this. When I first started publishing books, some 20 years ago, I learned that publishing and book design was a totally differentContinue reading “Practicing”

The last couple of days I didn’t write. As writers we need to wear multiple hats. We need to write, edit, publish and even market our own work. We need to get it out there where people can find it and read it. The photo above is the way Lincoln would’ve looked in the timeContinue reading “Changing Hats”

Only four chapters left in this book. Currently, still working on chapter 20, which is close to finished. I’m enjoying working on this book but will be glad to have it complete and know that I did accomplish it. Hoping to work on some marketing with Judy on Saturday. In the meantime, I hope toContinue reading “Writing is Bliss”

I finished up my researching yesterday and started writing chapter 20. Got 4-5 pages in. I think the ending of the book will be really good now. I still worry about the pacing in the trial chapters and hope to run that by my group and get their feedback. I’m so happy to be writingContinue reading “Writing Again”
