So if any of you have been checking my storyidyls blog on blogger.com, you will note that I haven't posted much in it. Yeah. For some reason, I don't like it. I tried.

A New Year, A Grateful Outlook
As I sit in my lovely living room, the Jim Brickman station playing softly in the background, curtains drawn, a cup of tea (yes, in a teacup) and the beautifully lit Christmas tree in front of me, it feels more like early morning than almost 11:00 AM.

So, Thanksgiving totally messed me up. Well, okay - I was already a little messed up. The day before Thanksgiving, I hit blank wall. I stared at the words in front of me - and couldn't think of anything to write. I think part of the problem is that the family is on their wayContinue reading "Thanksgiving Coma"
Quick Word Count Update

They have only 4 children, most of whom are old enough to be on their own, so the house is often quiet, leaving me lots of time to write. And then, of course, I had Thursday and Friday to myself.

Random Life
I know, you have all been waiting breathlessly for my next update, which - just hasn't come. I do apologize. I hate to disappoint people who are probably checking every day, just in case. 😛 So, I haven't updated for two reasons. 1. I haven't been writing, so I am too ashamed to write.
