A Day in My Life: Feb. ’14: The Not-so-sweet Life

dayNlife

You may or may not find this surprising, but as a writer I’ve never been much of a journaler (I like making up words). I’ve always kept writing, sketching, and poetry notebooks, but I’ve never really liked writing about myself. This monthly post is my attempt at rectifying that and is an opportunity for me to get a little personal, as I share a single event from my life.

February 2014 – The not-so-sweet life

So here’s the truth of the matter.

My life is very uneventful. I go to my day job, I come home and write, and I try to spend time with my family when I can. There’s been quite a bit of sadness and sickness going around lately and I’ve been less than thrilled with the result of my book launch. I’m proud of my book and the dozen or so people who’ve read it seem to like it. I’m moving forward with the sequel and am seeking beta readers for it now.

As for a day in my life, I just ate some of the best macarons on the planet. I got them from a little bakery service called: Hummingbird Macarons. So I guess there is a little something sweet happening in my world right now.

On Wednesday, February 5, 2014 I received my 1,000th Like for my posts on this site. This is small potatoes to some, but every little bit counts to me. I only wish I could have been free and focused to acknowledge it when it happened, but I can’t complain too much.

I started out the week with Sample Sunday 32- Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel, chapter 5.1

On Monday, I posted my Top 5 music genres.

On Tuesday, I added to my character files the preferences for Bletsian.

On Wednesday, I posted my monthly contribution to the Insecure Writers Support Group where I introduced, “How do you woo?”

But of course that means I forgot about my WWW Wednesday post, until later that evening.

On Thursday, I posted a Tea and Conversation about eagles.

And yesterday, I posted a very special Friday Forecast.

-Today, I spend time with family. It’s where I need to be.

I hope you’ve enjoyed yourself this week and enjoy a very pleasant weekend.
