All the Good News
First, thanks to everyone on the forum that liked yesterday's blog. Thanks for all the positive feedback. For those who were worried that the negative stuff was getting to me, don't worry. I wasn't mad, or hurt. I just felt it was time to speak up for all you positive folks. I know sometimes the negative people are so loud it feels like that's all that's happening, but the negatives are truly a small, small number of people. I won't let them get me down, if you don't let them get you down. Deal? Second, to the readers that… Read More

Dear Negative Reader
Dear Negative Reader, It's funny, I almost never go on the board. I think I can count on one hand the times I've seen the message board. I would pick tonight. I'd had a nice evening out with friends. I'd read a chapter of Trin's new Fairy Realm book to her. Then for some reason, we look at the board. I look at the board. Let me say that all of you that hate the books, and have decided not to read them anymore, I am happy for you. I know that when a book series that I read… Read More

Sometimes less is more
Just got back from Dinner with friends. Jim, Joan, and their kiddo were one of the groups of friends that we never seemed to get to see. We went on vacation with them this summer, but it was the first we'd seen each other in ages. So we made a resolution to try and see each other more. It had that feel to it of New Year's resolutions that you make, but don't keep. Good intentions with no follow through. Their schedule is about as insane as ours, so it was hard to get together. I called them, got… Read More

Bits and pieces
It's been a very busy day. Dealt with a lot of business stuff. A lot of problems smoothed out. I just finished four pages on one of the new chapters that needed to be added to THE HARLEQUIN, and four pages is enough for the day. I'm tired, and fighting off a headache. I think this is definitely one of those days when it will all look better in the morning. Though, if I remember correctly, we're planning to help our kiddo clean her room tomorrow morning. After Santa's visit there are too many toys, too much stuff. The… Read More

Date night
Jon and I finally got to put some date in our date night. We usually stay in, and sometimes we do what you think we do, and sometimes we watch tons of none child safe TIVO. But it had been a while since we actually went out just us for a date. We did traditional dinner and a movie. I'm not sure it mattered what we did, as long as we did it together, and it was just us. We saw the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale. We both loved it. The violence was pretty realistic without giving… Read More

Happy Boxing day, and Happy St. Stephen’s Day
It's Boxing Day in parts of Europe. It's also St. Stephen's day a traditional day in some parts of the British isles for hunting the wren. To my knowledge no one actually still harms the birds. But every St. Stephen's day we put out food for the birds, to sort of take back this day and make it a positive thing for our little feathered friends. And, to make the tradition more fun, there was a wren on the suet feeder this morning just outside the kitchen window. A Carolina wren, which does not exist in Europe. So happy… Read More
