And the Winner is …

my local buddy, Amanda It’s really fitting that she was giving me the most grief — and the most cheers during my entire fashion makeover. Amanda, I’ll figure out a way to get a copy of Shari’s book to you when I get them in.
Y’all will be happy to note, Duck has helped me [...]

Dizzy From Spinning My Wheels

I know y’all have at one time or another spun around in a circle until you fell on your bee-hind dizzy. That’s how I have felt for awhile now — except I feel like I’ve been spinning for several months.
I am a writer. I determined (almost a full year ago) God was calling me to [...]

Book Meme

I was tagged by Heather @ Desperately Seeking Sanity who is so good for this kind of stuff and then I was tagged by PJ. I think y’all are just picking on me!
It said to pick up the closest book to me, but I wonder if that person realized just how hard that is — [...]

Turn Your Blog into a Book

This is a great idea especially for all those Blogging Mommies out there! Blurb has software you download to your computer and allows you to make different kinds of books. It will pull the posts (and I’m assuming pictures too) from your blog and puts it into book format. Then you can edit, style and [...]

Last week I got Jerry Jenkins’ Writing for the Soul. I devoured it in a few days. I couldn’t put it down. [...]

It’s a miracle! I finished …

… another book last night! Karen Kingsbury’s Between Sundays. I really liked it although I found myself wanting more football information
… AND! I finished Doodle’s curtains. I don’t know how long ago I started on them (I’m not going to look either), but I finished them and they are actually hanging in her [...]

Mirror, Mirror … On The Wall

I would like to announce the first ebook I’ve been published in. Mirror, Mirror… On The Wall was written by 10 women (me being one of the ten) over 10 weeks on the 10 Commandments. This was an amazing experience! Each of us have a slightly different take on each of the 10 Commandments. I [...]

Write a novel?

I must have lost my mind. But this will be fun
Heather @ Desperately Seeking Sanity encouraged me yesterday to sign up for the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Starting November 1st through November 30th, thousands of people will be concentrating on word count instead of quality of writing. Fifty thousand words is the [...]

Confession #10,001 (for today)

Jenny over at Life is Not a Cereal wrote a post yesterday morning “Doing What My Sinfilled Nature Craves.” I have a horrible tendency to research subjects to death — so while “I am a writer” or at least wanting to be, I’ve been researching all the books I should read to make me a [...]
