I read my friend's blogs and Facebooks about how busy they are with everything, writing, maintaining their websites, involving themselves in contests, blog tours, interviews and anniversaries and I'm having trouble getting my story out of me. I'm too easily distracted by other things and definitely don't use my time wisely. Pair that with the fact it seems like I'm constantly on the go, and I sometimes wonder if I even have the dedication to what I'm doing.
I absolutely love to write. I want nothing more than to have a decent career, or heck, even a hobby, as a writer, but I just can't seem to pull it together to get involved like these other ladies do. Maybe I need to attend a few marketing classes, or just get ideas from other blogs. Something has to give, though.

My DD had a good time at the fair. I was on my feet almost constantly for Saturday and Sunday, but got to see the horse show and the kids got to ride on a few rides. DD showed her chicken on Sunday and Bubbles won Best In Class in the pet category. She's a little dove gray Old English Bantam and very sweet. So it was a good weekend. But DD was eying the horses. That's what she really wants to do. I'd love to give her the opportunity I had to ride, but right now it's not a possibility. Now she wants to get a job at a stable and work for lessons. I'm hoping.

I'll be dogsitting for the next week or so starting Wednesday. That means no internet. I'll check up on it after work, but for most of my time away from work I'll be completely unconnected. But I'll bring my lap top and get tons of writing done! Tons and tons.
And maybe come up with some marketting ideas. I have to get pictures, text and music for a new book video for one of my previous books.
Wow, it hasn't snowed for...what 2 days? And there seems to be a pattern. Every Tuesday/Wednesday for the past 3 weeks we've been getting hit. Someone doesn't want me to have my quiet Wednesday afternoons when the kids are off at Grandma's house for a few hours. What did I do to deserve this???
I had a pretty productive day of writing, despite the errands I had to run and the phone call that wouldn't die. I wrote about 1500 words and I still have oodles on paper that need to be transfered over to the computer. I'm loving it, though I'm sure that means I'll hit a roadblock soon. It helps that I have a friend who enjoys brainstorming with me.
One of my coworkers came up to me yesterday and told me that the owner of the local bookstore said that anytime I want to come in and talk to him I'm welcome to. So what I need to do is get a few copies of Finally Home and bring them in. I'm not sure they work with Whiskey Creek. On their website they have Samhain books listed, but not WCP. But this is cool. Could be a very good start! Get some starry-eyed romantic souls in there and sell some books!
Okay, onto the daily inspiration. The following singer is Nova Scotian country singer, George Canyon. I ADORE this guy. He came in 2nd in the 2nd season of Nashville Star and is extremely popular up in Canada but for some reason hasn't made a name for himself down here. I don't know why.
Wow, it's getting late. Need to get some writing done.
