Give me a sign...

Every human in the world reaches a point of no return. It's not so much giving up as finally reaching that place of diminishing returns where the results just don't support the effort.I am quickly approaching that point. Oh, not this week or the next, but soon. The signs are all there. Sales are flat-lining. I give parties and no one shows up. Most visitors to my blog and webpage are accidental

Taking the day off...

It's been a busy week or two. I'm taking the day off. By the way, I have a chat this evening between 7PM and 9PM EST at Love Romances Cafe. Feel free to stop by. If you're an author bring your excerpts. If you're a reader come prepared to chat and read!See you then!anny

Truth or Lie?

I've been nominated by a number of people for the most recent blog tagging but I'll link to the first one to nominate me and it'll have to do for the rest... Amarinda Jones. You can view my fancy new award in the upper right of my sidebar.So here's the deal. I'm supposed to list seven things about myself. Six must be true OR six must be false. You may guess which is which. I'm ALSO supposed to

Moms

Motherhood is the top learn-on-the-job occupation in the universe. There isn't a one-size-fits-all manual. Every child is a new experience from day one, whether you have one or twenty.Being a mom is the most rewarding and the most heart-breaking job ever. No one, not your parents, not your spouse, not your best friend can grab your heart like your child. You might kill for your significant other.

Caturday!

Have a great weekend!annyPS: Make sure you check out the new blog pages in the upper right!

**crazy people**

I read this wonderful book last night by Elizabeth Jennings titled Homecoming. It has a wonderful cast of characters who appear to be crazy at first glance. But as the reader becomes more involved with the story, they realize the characters' sanity (or lack of sanity) is a matter of perspective.The same is true of the people around us in real life. Mostly their actions are logical and sane from

Video Life

Did you ever wonder what life would be like if all interactions were via videos? What if dating, shopping, school, work were all accomplished with videos instead of face to face? Would it make any difference in our lives?Of course, there would likely be fewer colds passed around! But how would it affect our social interactions? Have we reached the place where we no longer need to be in the actual

Friendship Forever

I have several friends going through some terribly tough times right now. There are a lot of people going through bad times all over the world so I expect all of you have friends in the same types of situations. They need help or sometimes just a listening ear. Yet, they don't call or e-mail or post it on their blog.Instead, this is what they say... I didn't want to bother anyone.Here's the deal.

Sea of Ideas

Where do you get your ideas? That's in the top ten questions readers ask me. The answer? I have no idea. At the moment, I don't have a single idea in my head.Actually, I know there are ideas in there. I just can't seem to catch them. They float up to the top of the seething mass of goop in there, but when I try to snag them, they dance away, chuckling at my ineptness. It's frustrating to say the
