A SERIES OF ANNOYING EVENTS
No pictures, no funny drawings, barely a sense of humor. Why? Because February has not been my favorite month this year. Nothing catastrophic, just a serious of annoying events.
First I tried to start a knitting project. I was really looking forward to it. I bought the yarn and I had the pattern which I’ve wanted to try for a long time. Then a few rows in I made a discovery. The pattern did not suit my knitting style. I know that sounds strange, but it happens and it did not look good. So I had to unravel the whole thing and find a different pattern. Hopefully the next one will turn out better. Stay tuned.
I finally finished my fourth book, The Wrong Ghost, which is great, but the problem is things have been getting started on the editing. I thought The Harbinger of Retribution was tough, but this one gave me even more trouble. I actually wrote it, didn’t like it and then wrote it again. The rewrite was really hard, because I had already wrote it…if that makes any sense. Now when I try to edit…
I get sick. Just a cold, or something, and I am getting better but no one likes to be sick.
Like I said, this hasn’t been my favorite month, and I would be glad it’s February 28th except…
It’s a leap year.
Sigh.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I am really looking forward to this book, so I will be praying for your health, out of sisterly love and my desire to see what happens to Troy and Irene next. And I always hate February. I am not a Winter lover. I like it hot and dry (climatically speaking) so January and February both are months I like to see come to an end. At least November and December have the holidays to make them more tolerable. But it's March now (the beginning of the Ragsdale birthday season-but those aren't that much fun anymore either since every age now begins with a "5" and those beginning with a "6" will be here way before I'm ready). Gee, how did my consolation note to you, end up being nothing but whining on my part? Sorry, I know this isn't about me. It's about you, feel better and publish that book. I'm sure it is as fantastic as the rest! Love you and hope all goes easily from here out.

Hi SueI am all healed up now, I was just feeling sorry for myself that day. You know how it is, troubles don't line up and take their turn, they hit all at once. They weren't even bad troubles, just annoying!
Book 4 is in good shape. Figured out how to load it on my Kindle and do highlights and notes so I can edit it there. Much easier on the eyes and I can do it anywhere.
Don't worry about feeling blue sometimes, that's one of the reasons I have a blog. You should start a one, you can whine all you want and people expect it! I'm with you on the birthday thing. If I didn't get cake and presents out of the deal I wouldn't do it! Not that I have a choice.
On that happy note, bye for now.
