Daniel and I get up anytime between 5:45 AM and 7:00 AM, depending on when we go to bed and how motivated we feel when we get up. We do actually end up getting up between 5:45 and 6:15 more often than not, which allows us to work out for half an hour and spendContinue reading "A Morning Ride"
Life of a Masters Student
I am a little afraid to look at how long it has been since I have posted anything. But I have an excellent excuse. My husband and I just started a masters program! I won't spend too long on this, since all my friends have already heard my numerous complaints, but it has essentially suckedContinue reading "Life of a Masters Student"
Fairytales and Reality
We were supposed to be booked solid last week between me getting back from Cleveland and a variety of engagements throughout the week, but somehow or another, we managed to get two evenings (mostly) free. It was delightful. Last Tuesday we biked to the library. Daniel doesn't quite understand the concept of just browsing allContinue reading "Fairytales and Reality"
Weariness and Breaking the Rules
It has been long couple months of travel. From May 25 to date, I have traveled to Oklahoma, Florida, Kansas, New York, Minnesota, and Cleveland and have another trip to Orlando scheduled in 12 days. Needless to say, I am beginning to feel a little exhausted. Today, especially, having worked 23 hours in the last twoContinue reading "Weariness and Breaking the Rules"
After God’s Own Heart
"And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will." Acts 13:22 I am reading in both 1 Samuel andContinue reading "After God’s Own Heart"
Totally random writing
I know I don't write as often as I have been recently, but I have been busy with editing my book, which I FINALLY titled God's Masterpiece. I am still not sure I like it, but it is better than not having a title. I have sent it off to about five people to readContinue reading "Totally random writing"
A Clover of Hope
I know - it has been forever since I have posted. It's just been one of those months. I have slowly been working on editing the sappy romance novel, for which I still do not have a title (this is new for me - I normally have pages of titles and not enough books!) andContinue reading "A Clover of Hope"
Books and Progress
There hasn't been a lot to update lately. I just got back from a short trip to Kansas where I finished most of my book. I am literally on the last couple paragraphs and am having a bit of a difficult time getting the words out - not so much because I don't know whatContinue reading "Books and Progress"
Writing, Life, and Carrying On
I've been working hard on my book and am up to 46,000 words. It is amazing to me how much easier it is to write when you don't care about being cheesy and you don't have to do research for historical bits. The miracle of a sappy romance set in modern America. But really, I amContinue reading "Writing, Life, and Carrying On"
A New Conquest
Dear Readers, For those of you wondering why the previous posts suddenly became private, here is the explanation: My husband and friend have been desperately trying to convince me to finish the story I am writing and then submit it for publication to a publisher like Love Inspired. After much entreating, I have agreed toContinue reading "A New Conquest"
