Wow, It's Been Some Time.....

Hi All!

 

Has it really been since June that I've submitted an entry?  Holy Hannable Lector!  Anyway, I do have news regarding my writing adventure...

 

I have roughly 83 pages typed up.  I've been extremely busy these past several months, for a while working two jobs.  Now down to one full timer!  Okay, back to news about my novel:

 

I had this whole idea of how it would go and what would eventually happen to my lead character, but I am thinking about revamping.  Now I'm not so sure I want it to end the way I had originally envisioned.  She still goes through a majority of the things, however I think that in order to appeal to more readers the ending needs to be altered just a bit.  She's just not your normal woman, she doesn't deal with things the way most people in general do.  She is strong and independant; refuses to be a burdon to anyone; a real thinker when it comes to the biggies in life.  In many, many ways she is like me.

 

Nertz, I need to get some sleep as I am working 3rd shift training a new employee.  Will be back in a few days...

Happy Father's Day!

As far back as the 5th grade I remember realizing that my mom was the best dad a kid could have.  I began the practice of giving mom Father's Day cards, cooking her a special dinner and making her a cake.  When I got older and moved away, I always sent her serious and or humorous cards and called her on Dad's Day.  Mom was not just a mom to me, she was also my dad and I feel that I was fortunate to have developed a special relationship with her.  She was my best friend, a role model as a survivor, fighter, jokester.  True, as a youngin, she was not the best parent she could have been -- however, I later understood the why's of it all.

 

Dad's should teach you certain things.  As a child, mom taught us how to play sports, fish, camp -- just everything that typically falls upon dads.  Dad's typically feel it is their responsability to provide a decent home and food on the table.  Sometimes our food came from a food bank, but she made sure we were fed.  We always lived in a decent house and she did all she could to ensure it was a real home. 

 

So in honor of my mom, and the world full of moms just like her ~~~

 

Happy Father's Day!!!

Working Hard!

Hi All!

 

I haven't posted in a while and as I am now working two jobs due to, well, I'm sure you understand why folks are taking second jobs these days.  Anyway, I hope to be able to put something up here next week as my work schedule lightens up a little.

 

Thanks so much for continuing to come by -- it is much appreciated!
