#50StatesOfPray on 12/24/13 hosted by @markjkoopmans

“On Dec. 24, 2013, take a moment, (and in about 100 words), share a prayer, a thought, a memory, a hope, a regret about the past, and/or a wish for the future.”

Open up your heart and share. 

Mark’s desire is for all 50 of the States in the U.S. to be represented in this blog hop, but he’s not stopping there. He wants this to stretch across the globe. Wouldn’t it be great if we could gather 50 independent nations with this event and spread love and peace around the world?

I’m totally in and hope you’ll join in to.

WIP Update 10

WIPU

I hate to disappoint myself and, of course, any of you who may be reading this, but I do not have much to report on at the moment. I have been writing a little, but I’ve been busy elsewhere and have been working hard to keep up my daily posts. The biggest distraction I’ve recently encountered is, fortunately, something positive. I’ve been busy figuring out how to promote my book Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel, now that a release date has been set and I can start selling advanced copies. You can learn about that at my Pre-Orders tab.

Next month, I sincerely hope I’ll something worthwhile to report. I have so many good stories floating about; I’d love to be able to share a little bit of them with you.

Feeling a little lost about what’s going on in this post? Just see the side panel and search My Topics, WIP Updates, to get all caught up. Also check my WIP tab to see what else I may be working on.

Do you have a WIP update to share?

****

I am so blessed right now. Even though I am constantly overwhelmed, never seem to have enough time, and am leaping from one temporary illness to the other, and also seem to fall short no matter how hard I try…I have so much to be thankful for.

1. I have been meeting and promoting some really great authors as of late. I’m to glad to have an opportunity to help these authors spread the word about their work.

2. I have an amazing family, they are all so special to me. My sister is talented in ways she doesn’t even know and inspires me to pursue my dreams. My Mom is my biggest fan and my husband is so wonderful that I just had to write about him in “Dear Stick”.

3. I am getting closer and closer to my goal of being a successful published author. Needless to say, monetary gain isn’t how I judge success, but I’ll be even more thankful if and when the big bucks ever start rolling in.

I have three ebooks available for purchase and am now able to offer pre-orders for my first novel, Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel, which is set to release on February 18, 2014. See Books and Pre-orders for details.

4. I made it to the second round of voting for the 50 Great Authors You Should Be Reading, which I still find amazing, and now I must wait to see how well I did. At this point it doen’t really matter, if I make it into the publication great, yay, hip hip hooray, and if i don’t it’s still been a fun ride.

5. And lastly, I’m so grateful that I am steadily writing, blogging, and reading my way through life. I’m networking and learning from others everyday and am so glad to be apart of this community.
