Thumb Life

I need a good tagline yet. Any suggestions? So far I've got "Ordinary till you cross the county line." And the cover image isn't set in stone.

Well guys,

there’s a reason I  haven’t been sewing as much and blogging as much about sewing.

Can you guess???

Okay, yes, Children have interfered. Illness. The Holidays. Mouse Wars. Social Life. Working Nights and Weekends.

But when I still find a few free moments here and there and those moments have been spent on Writing a Book.

There, to all of you who ever said, “You need to write a book!”

I am.

Who knows if/when I’ll finish it. What it’ll be like. But I’m doing it.

This, my 33rd year, is my year of adventure. My year to accomplish one of my life goals: write a book and put it on my bookshelf so as to admire it.

If I deem it sensible enough I may make a few copies to share. Mostly with you, you who have encouraged me to write a book. But this dream can only come true with a little help. Can you help encourage me? I can get easily discouraged when writing my book because I don’t want to do it unless it’s perfect. Or perfectly funny. Whatever. And for me, I can’t just sit down and write. The story has to come to me.

Good renditions of tales usually come to me when I’m relaxed and not stressed out. When I have had a significant amount of quiet to think. I won’t even be thinking about the story I write but then BAM, words are there in my head, stringing themselves together in clever ways. And if I can get to a computer, all is well.

The last time that happened was this summer when I was on vacation. I penned Buzz. And only those who took Biology in Mayberry will know who THAT one’s about.

So now instead of writing one tale every 1 to 2 years, I am trying to slap down 10 in as many months. A few I’ve already written (they still need editing and to be made longer if possible,  though). The rest are just waiting to be told!
