Things that Make me go Ouch
Parental Rights or Wrongs!
Parental Rights: The Fight of Our Lifetime Suppose, one day, parents will NOT be allowed to tell their children…. …that they cannot do drugs or be sexually involved as an unmarried teenager? …that they must attend church with you? …that they are restricted from certain internet sites and DVD’s for their protection? …that you want…
Just Plain Weary…
I’ve gotten past the weary in the waiting part after almost two weeks of the blahs (due to a rejection, what else) and just when I feel I can pick myself up off the floor and leave my pity party (and actually start writing again) I get slammed in the face with another issue. Lack…
Recitals and Plays and Costumes, OH MY!
It’s amazing how much it costs to cloth kids involved in theatre and recitals! I don’t even want to think of those kids who are into pageants! I briefly looked into it when my kids were little, but the fees just to enter are outrageous. Most shows we do don’t cost us a dime! But…
Ready to Bury Digging Up Death!
That’s the novel my agent has shopped around and it seems like “Digging up Death” should never have been dug up! My latest rejection was pretty detailed and I heard that’s a good thing. Means I’m on my way… problem is it takes so darn long for me to write a novel, I might be…
No Wonder I Have No Commenters!
I was just looking back over my blog the last couple of months and realized this site has become an advertising haven, sprinkled in with a little bit of me. No wonder my faithful readers are scarce! Truth be told, I have let things get out of hand and I’m not sure when things will…
I Did Something I Never Thought I Could…Would…
I ran for almost 30 minutes straight! Now coming from someone who got a D on her college 3 mile field test because I couldn’t run it in under 30 minutes and MISSED Summa Cum Laude by fractions of a point because of it, THIS 30 minute running nonstop is a big deal! I didn’t…
Something’s Gotta Give…
I’m almost ready to throw in the towel, call it quits, hold up the tattered white flag. I’m not sure how much longer I can do this. I’m getting flanked from every side, from the enemy, the home front and those I’m trying desperately to infiltrate and be a part of. And I’m not sure…
Seriously Bumming!
I just got a rejection letter today! Not from a publisher, but from the board at ACFW regretting to inform me I’m not the recipient of their scholarship. There were 53 applicants and I knew it was a long shot, but I also believed that I would get it. Hoped that that would be a…
Christian Book Expo: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly…
Here’s the scoop from those who had the most to gain and most to lose… http://michaelhyatt.com/2009/03/christian-book-expo-my-analysis.html http://chipmacgregor.typepad.com/main/2009/03/notes-from-big-d-thats-d-as-in-disaster.html Got a post to include? Leave it in the comment section!
I have 33 Unfinished Drafts in My Blog…
How many do you have? I usually, at least, draft a title with a bit of info about what I plan on writing, but I’m thinking I need to go through and weed some of those out. Sometimes the moment passes you by and the wit and wisdom of the moment is gone, never to…
