Yes, I’m still alive…just in case you’re all wondering (you’re so sweet!).
Life has been C-R-A-Z-Y! I’ll get to all that eventually…
But today, I just wanted to take a moment and wish you all a warm and filling Thanksgiving. Also, remember (reminder to self) there is much to be said for patience,
My Life Unscripted: Who’s Writing Your Life?
By Tricia Goyer / Thomas Nelson
Tricia Goyer is an incredible writer, and a great friend, and I thought, hey, I’d love to do a blog for her and her superb new book. However, I also have her TARGET MARKET living with me,
My son plays Half-Back and full-ball for his 6-7, 7-8th grade football team. He lives for football. Simply loves it. His favorite dinner time activity is showing his family all his fresh bruises. (and he does it with a big grin).
I love to watch my thirteen year old play. I’ve gone to every game for the past three years (except when I’m out of town),
Melissa asked: Why does every book have to have a happy ending? Don’t get me wrong, I like the happy ending, but at the same time there are a few books that I have read that totally threw me by not having the expected happy ending, the guy didn’t get the girl, and they didn’t live happily ever after with 2.5 kids and a dog.
As a mom, I just hate it when my kids’ dreams don’t come true. Not, of course, that I want ALL their dreams to come true (ie, I have no desire see my son’s dream of become a NASCAR driver come true. Thanks, but can anyone say FIERY DEATH?) I do, however, buy into the hope that they’ll be happy,
Hannah asked: I always wondered how a author can write so many books and still have such good endings and plots etc. So what’s your secret to writing? Lol!
Oh, thank you for those kind words! I love to write, and I’m always on the hunt for a great story! I’m actually very dangerous to have around – just last week I was sitting in a restaurant and accidentally overheard a person talk on their cell phone (have you ever noticed how loud people are on their cell phones?).
Tawni asked: How do you go about getting your story noticed by a publisher? My daughter is 15 and loves to write.
Getting noticed in today’s market – whether you’re published, or not, it always a challenge. There is always another great book out there, always a story that is similar to your own.
My husband hates his birthday. Okay, hates is a strong word, but let’s just say that he’s not into presents and making a big fuss. In fact, that’s his entire personality. We once had a big discussion about what “LATE” means. I think it means being about 15 minutes behind schedule. He thinks it’s coming in right when the event is supposed to start.
