Welcome to my page! I'll be sharing ideas about my latest book, my life as a writer-in-training, and who knows what else.

Busy Times!

I noticed that it's been a while since I've made the effort to post on my blog. Sorry! Life has gotten in the way, which I'm sure we all experience from time to time. Here on the prairie, life seems to blow by just as quickly as my neighbor's trash from their overturned garbage cans! (Yes, we have their garbage plastered up against our fence--fun stuff!) At times over the past few months, I've felt like those ragged Styrofoam take-out containers from next door--worn by the never-ending demands around me, cracked from one too many things prying at me, and suffering from a not-too-clean environment thanks to the first two items. But instead of focusing on the destructive power of the wind, today it was a productive power. I used my clothes line for the first time this season to dry our beds, and most of the sheets actually stayed on the line until they were dry. I only had one mishap, and thankfully, it landed in clean grass! I need to remember that even though things are busy in my life, I can be productive. I need to harness the energy from my busyness and use it to my advantage. That way, maybe I can benefit from the craziness instead of being consumed by it. A lofty goal.

I am hoping to get back to writing the sequel to Impossible Find very soon...at least in the next four to five weeks. The semester is winding down, and after all the grading is finished, I'm looking forward to some good quality writing time! With any luck, all the revisions will be done by the end of summer. Dare I set a release date? Maybe next blog! :o) Blessings to all, and a huge thank you to all who have checked out my book! It is so exciting for me!
