Greetings!

Evening people,

I know, I know, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. But in my defense, we had to do a lot of testing before the kiddies went off for their Winter Break. Speaking of taking a break, the first half of my break was spent with my husband’s family. It was nice; we really didn’t do anything. I got to work on my novel a bit and did a little self-promoting. Hey whatever it takes right? Ha ha.

The trip back was killer. It took us two hours to get through a section of road t...

When Words Fail to Come

timofeevbooks:

I really enjoyed reading this post because, every now and again, I get stuck. My usual go to is to do a free write or fanfiction (hey don’t judge) but what’s in this post is a good idea too? What are your thoughts?

Happy Thursday! I’ve been holed up in the one rema...

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so here’s what happened. I had finished the final editing stages for my book. I requested a physical copy to go over before Thanksgiving. Well as it got closer to the delivery date I checked the status. Oh dear lord! There was a mix up at the post office and they ended up sending my proof back to the company that I’m using to make physical copies! I was hoping to have The Lost Guardian out by Christmas but that plan has fallen through. I’m waiting to hear back from the publishing company...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings everyone!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope you are able to spend it with your loved ones. I wish I could be completely happy with this day, but I can’t. In a few hours people are going to be trampling each other to spend money that they may not have on things that they don’t necessarily need. I’ve never been a big fan of Black Friday, but some businesses have already started their sales. Why? And more importantly, why are there people who are willing to put aside...

So Sweet

Yesterday, I was helping a few kids in my class find words that matched their suffixes. We were just about finished when somehow we ended up talking about Supernatural. Don’t ask me how but we did. It did help to relieve my confusion about why they were talking about demon possession at lunch. No really….they were discussion possession. Thursday they were talking about Santa. Ha-ha. So back to the story. One of the students made up a sentence about the President and another said that if that...

Touching Base

Hey guys!

Sorry that it’s been so long since I updated. Things have been busy. I’ve been looking into the tests that I need to complete to get my teaching license. The first round of testing is pretty straight forward but the second half…well it’s a little confusing. Oh well. I am excited for Thanksgiving however. This year it will be just me and my husband; something we haven’t had in a while. This year we are roasting a duck. Luckily, a lady that I work with told me that I would be able to g...

I’m so happy!!!!

I’m just about done moving into my new home, but already I’m happy as a clam!

We (my husband and I) have pretty much gotten everything straight and are just dealing with the pinny-nanny stuff. You know what I’m talking about: organizing, decorating, etc. It’s strange and wonderful having all our things back. They’ve been in storage for two years. Even our dogs are happy to have their own space again.

I don’t know what I’m happier about; having my books back or having my writing space back. Oh w...
