I have a doctor’s appointment this morning. Last time I went to the doctor for my annual physical, they did a blood work up and found that I have a high vitamin d deficiency. This was something I had never really heard of before, but apparently, not getting enough vitamin d is a problem. After looking it up online (where, yes, I know you can’t believe everything you read, but still, most sites tend to have similar information on this subject), I found out that lack of vit. d can result in cancer, osteoporosis, and other diseases. It can also…

Determined to get back on track with my fitness and my goals for the year (okay, really goals for my life), I actually got up early this morning and went to Jazzercise class. I have missed it, really. Sure, it’s sweaty and hot and hard work, but now that I’m home, I feel great! And by going to the earlier class at 8:20 (I used to only go to the 9:30 class), I’m giving myself an extra hour to work before lunchtime. My life has been filled with starts and stops… starting on a path towards my goals and then…

Last night, G and I experienced a rare but terrifying event. We got stalked and attacked by a kitty cat. We live in a community of townhouses situated side by side, and it just so happens that one of our neighbors about 4 townhouses down has a cat. They seem to let this black and white cat roam the neighborhood, and it has often been seen hanging out under our cars or around our doorstep. I don’t particularly mind as long as it isn’t attacking me. It’s just a cat. From time to time, I have tried the old method…

When I decided to try my hand at writing books, I started reading things and hearing things about “finding your process.” Everyone talks about how every writer has their own process, or way of producing. For some people, the best thing to do when you have a solid idea is to sit down and start writing. Pantsers, they are called, because they fly by the seat of their pants. They know that eventually a story will be formed out of their ramblings and that is all they need to know when they start. They don’t care usually if they have…

Wow, what a week it was!! I can’t believe how amazing my trip to National RWA Conference went overall. I met some fantastic people, learned a lot through the many workshops, got fifty three new books (most of them free, which is the best price ever), and had both an agent and an editor request my full manuscript! It could not have gone any better, honestly! I even got to meet Nora Roberts face to face, which was amazing. Just standing there knowing that the woman next to me makes sixty million dollars a year on her writing was mind…

Well, here I come tomorrow! Haha. After a very happy weekend of celebrating wonderful events like G’s 30th birthday and the one year anniversary of our engagement, today is all about getting ready to go. I am actually packed up more than halfway, but there is still work to be done. Plus, I’ll probably take everything out of my suitcase to double check my outfits and such anyway. I know that RWA national conference is not the be all end all of my career. If nothing amazing comes out of this, it doesn’t mean that I am hopeless. On the…
