Bogged Down

Did you ever start a project, all gun-hoe, then suddenly things start to slow down and get bogged down.

That’s what happened to me last week on my book edits.

It was taking me longer and longer to finish a chapter. Soon, I couldn’t even get one page done in an hour.

Talk about a study in frustration!

Anyone elsefeel like you’re the one stuck in the mud?

Then I realized that I was focusing too much on thetiny details and missing the big picture.Things finally started to click.

I’m almost done with t...

It’s finally happened…

I witnessed something this week that I never thought I’d see…no, not pigs flying but close.

It sounds silly, but my husband is reading my book! You might not think this is a big deal, but let me put this in perspective. My husband has only read one other book in his life, and he’s perfectly fine with it. He will read manuals and trade magazines, but has never willingly read any fiction books. Smart as a whip…can build a vehicle from scratch and has done it a couple times, but reading isjust no...

Stick ‘em up

Bath Time

I’m being a good girl and editing my nextbook (The Demon Within)this week, so I’ll show you a few pictures of my son’s cat.

The cat decided to lay in the sink this morning.

The only problem is that the sink drips.

So the lazy cat lays in the sink for a free, no work bath. Every ten seconds or so,he licks up the water after it falls on him. A two for one deal – clean and he doesn’t have to get up to get a drink of water.

It’s hilarious to watch the cat drink water out of a running faucet. He will...

Time Management

Where does thetime go?

I’d like to think I manage my time well. I make lists. Lots and lots of lists then mark off the items once they are done.

It doesn’t seem to help. I don’t seem to make any progress.

I get up every morning at 5 or 5:30 at the latest.

First thing I do is let the dog out.

Feed and waterthe cats.

Feed and water the dog.

Clean the cat litter.

Sweep the floor.

Laugh at my attempt to dust.

Pack lunch for dinner.

We’re starting a bobsledding team

The cat is already training.

Let me back up. We got a new sectional couch (don’t ask). It’s slightly Lshaped. Our house is set up with the living room and kitchen only separated by a pair of pocket doors hidden in the walls andnever used.

Anyway, the cat starts running from the kitchen to gain speed. If you remember the old cartoons where they run in place with smoke flying, you can picture my son’s cat as it gains traction on our wooden floors. It jumps from the floor to the couch. Runs along...

And the winner is…
