Update: One of the conditions of my publishing contract is that no portion of the book be published, so I had to ask Tina to delete her critique in Nov. ’08. Tina Helmuth critiques the second half of the first chapter of Undiscovered today. I would love for you to stop by and leave a […]

Measurable Progress
Since this is a writer’s blog, I suppose I should update you on our writing progress every now and again, eh? Yesterday, Mom and I updated our website. We have a couple things left to do: need to add photos or links to three pages and figure out why our FAQs page is suddenly showing […]
I’m Nice, so Try Dying
Great title for a post, isn’t it? Piques your curiosity? Jennie McGhan and Camy Tang both awarded me the Nice Matters Award. I ate up every kind word they wrote. “This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who […]
Personality Test & Clean Freak Mama Revisited
Chanda Canup had invited me to take a personality test, but I was self-grounded from playing on the computer at the time. But isn’t blogging supposed to be fun? “ESTJs are responsible, logical, norm-following hard workers. Their efforts are carried out in a practical, structured manner. ESTJs trust facts and experiences more than theories. They […]
Off Again!
The house is clean. I haven’t had a chance to read any blogs. And I’m blogging. It’s only 10:50! PM! (I’m making fun of my last post.) Everything started off just as well as it had yesterday. In fact, the day was much better than I was anticipating after what Joshua went through last night. […]
And They’re Off!
The beds are stripped and the sheets are already in the dryer. The washer is stuffed with towels. The house is clean. I’ve made the rounds of all my favorite blogs. And now I’m blogging. And it’s only 10:40! Ah, the first day of school! I do miss my little munchkins, but I’m making the […]
OCW: The Place
Isn’t that the most gorgeous picture? It’s my first nature/action shot and I love it. A patch of flowers grows right outside the bookstore at the Canby Grove Conference Center and the butterflies were going bonkers over all the lovely blooms. Some of you, like Tammy, may be wondering why I am talking about butterflies […]
OCW: The Purpose
It’s official. We have hijacked Donna Fleisher’s blog! Digging a little deeper into the last post, I forgot to share that Wendy Lawton represents Donna’s entertainment interests, which have a lot to do with The Prank. Only one more post after this one and you get to hear what went down pre-talent show at the […]
OCW: The People
Us with Lynetta at OCW What would a conference be if no one showed up? This is group of crazy ladies. I kid you not. The sanest one is probably the one in the back, because she’s really just standing up to leave, not posing in the picture as it appears. Kidding! She’s the wonderful […]
My Award-Winning Writing
Please don’t hate me because I won a writing contest. You, too, if you work hard and write every day, may be able to win something… someday. Or, if you religiously visit every blog listed in your blog roll on a daily basis, you might stumble across a gem of a contest. The tale: Charlene […]
