Because I'm terrible with updates
I have been absolutely awful with updating in here, haven't I? I've been writing other things every day so far this year though. At least 750 words a day. Some days are much better than others but I'm hitting at least 750. Okay, since I've mentioned writing and I should get my emotions out of the way first, I'll mention that I made an icon and ( Read more... ) -

I tell ya, it's like he was just a little boy I was rambling about yesterday fighting and arguing with his brother and sister! Crazy! Well, okay, sometimes ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year and all that stuff
Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year. Mine was good. Not nearly as much arguing as there has been in past years so that's good. Even if the mother-in-law kept asking me if the shirt she got me was big enough since she noticed I've gained a good bit of weight. Yes, she actually said that. More ( Read more... ) -

Wow, an update!
Hey! *waves* I just really, really suck at updating my journals. I need to actually use my eljay app I have on my phone huh? It's there. I see it as I open Kingsoft office, Goodreads, Kindle, dropbox, wordweb and all of my other writing/lists/journal apps I have! But do I open it? No. Do I update? Not really. Do I suck? Yeah ( Read more... ) -
And he's 16
Yes, my oldest son is 16 today. Wow! Daughter is 18. Son is 16. Other son will be 15 in less than a month. Good heavens time has flown. I know, they always say time flies with kids but until this year it never hit me. My whole world will change in three short years. Aww, using the Happy Birthday icon created by bisty_icons back in 2009! He was 12! Seems like ( Read more... ) -
Resolutions and writing goals!
I made resolutions this year and then I decided I would make Writing resolutions for the year instead of just saying "I'll write every single day and I'll work on my list" which is what I'd been doing lately and failing miserably. Maybe if there's specific goals it could be more helpful! Who am I kidding? It's never easy for me to keep up with my ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo!
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! *beams* Yes, for the sixth year in a row I have met my goal of 50,000 words in November! YAY! This year was not easy but it was also not as bad as it was the last two years...with last year seeing me writing over 20,000 words the last day. Yeah, never ever ever do that. Your hands don't recover for days if not weeks ( Read more... ) -

So, I cannot remember if I mentioned that my novel for NaNoWriMo this year is all about winter...thus the title "Winters of my Life"...but it is. And today, the fellas posted a link on their Facebook page *which I btw missed on their page* but I never saw it until I saw Kevin's page and he shared the link. OMG!! A perfect fit for my novel and I so ( Read more... ) -
Happy November!
I hope everyone on the Eastern half of the US is safe after Sandy. She brought us a lot of wind and rain but thankfully we never lost power. It flickered a lot but never totally went away. We had a bit of a mix of snow/sleet/whatever in with our rain but again, thankfully it never really amounted to anything. Our pond was about three feet low and ( Read more... )
