I am sitting on my couch listening to what to my ears is an awful sound. Ice hitting the window. After loosing power two winters in a row the word ice doesn't really bring joyful thoughts. I am praying we do not loose power again. It is so cold outside, no power -- no heat.
I am now on Face Book. It is so cool. I have found people I haven't seen in years. It is a really cool way to connect with people.
My book is on hold until after Christmas. I sent it to Jeff Gerke to review. I told my husband the one thing I really wanted to hear was that I have potential as a writer. Although he said many other things I also heard that. He had many suggestions for me, some rules of writing that I need to follow. But he also said he thinks the book has potential. It was not discouraging at all. I learned a lot. I am going to get to work on his suggestions as soon as the holiday hub-bub has passed.
Have a blessed Christmas.
Remember when you were a kid, and how excited you got when you heard your mom say, "no school, it's a snow-day."
My kids are so excited, the roads where we live are pretty snowy today and school was canceled. As an adult you think of everything that could have gotten done, how many errands could have been run. The kids think of snowmen, snow-slushies, watching movies.
When do we loose it, the spontaneity of what a snow-day brings? It is like we are being granted a free day. It's okay to eat yummy warm snacks, to watch movies all day, eat snow while throwing snowballs.
Yes, I have writing to do, I have writing goals for each day. Now, I have to adjust those goals. I will get some writing done but first I will enjoy my "free day" and play with the kids, drink some hot cocoa, and eat some warm cinnamon rolls and maybe if I'm brave enough get into a snowball fight with my nine year old.
My book will be waiting for me tomorrow, my children will only get a handful of snow-days, I'll take them while I can get them.
