Thank you!

To everyone who made comments on my T13 blog post! I heard some nice feedback. Tilly said she really liked Dragon’s Angel, Jennifer Shirk and Elle Fredrix both said they liked the sound of Nursery Crimes. Thanks so much! Right now I’ve got Dragon’s Angel shouting in my head and I get lost in that world. I had no idea how freeing it was to create your own world, language, races of people and even plants and animals! I’m hoping this stream continues. Nursery Crimes is one that is a little harder to work on.

It’s not the subject matter that is stalling me. Its finding nursery rhymes that I can make work for the different murders. Since that research takes up so much time I’m not able to get on it as focused, as it requires. But never fear! That is one I intend to get out of my head and into the editor’s desk one day in the (near, I hope) future.

Things around her have been straining to say the least. Between the death of my beloved fog, my husband’s job situation, his health, my granny’s accident, my Elemental Desires series being rejected and my daughter just being a teenager I’ve been feeling low and struggling to get myself pumped into living. April has been a sucky month and it isn’t even over yet.

But to see the positive side of things, my husband does still have a job, which we should be grateful for in this time of struggling economy. He does have health issues and will be having surgery to implant a stint, at least he won’t be loosing his legs or leaving me a widow anytime soon. My Granny’s accident has made me grateful that not only is she still living but into her 80s as she is she can still ride a four-wheeler and work in her garden, help my grandpa on the farm, can, quilt, and has a sharp mind.

My teenage daughter hmmm…LOL positive about a teenager…(VBG) we had to have medical intervention in order to have her and then she almost died so I am grateful that she is still with me. She’s help around the house and is a real trooper when I need her to be. After seeing all the parents who lost their children in the Virginia Tech murders I am grateful my kids are still with me.

Loosing my dog is still hard to find something positive about. My wonderful fabulous son did come around and show me his caring concern and even got him to hug his dad again. That’s a real positive. I know there is a reason for everything that happens and while the pain feels like it’s greater than we can bear I know that God doesn’t give us more than we can handle. Let me tell you if this kind of thing makes you stronger, I could take on Hercules and Samson at the same time and could probably whip them!

Hope to see you soon!
Huggles!
