Friday Five for April 18, 2014

1. How are you A-to-Zers doing? Having a lot of fun? I've been loving visiting your blogs, and I'm having a blast with fantastical creatures at Untethered Realms. Today I'll be there with the letter P. Come find out what strange being I've been working on with my latest WIP.

2. I had a great visit with my mom this week. She spoiled us all. Am I old because I'm excited she bought me a shoe rack so I could have shoes organized and out of the way by the front door?

3. No writing or revising was done this past week. I still haven't heard from the editors about the majority of my short story submissions nor about my geeky novella. At least I'm not checking my email every fifteen minutes anymore!

4 & 5. Big weekend coming up. There's Easter, of course, but also my little guy is turning four! I can hardly believe it. He's so smart and his feet are nearing my size! We'll be having a party at the park for him. He invited all his friends from his class at school. We'll have about seven kids with their families there. Lots of fun! And sugar. Wish me luck!

Happy 4th birthday, to my favorite guy!

Typing away on Friday

I've had a busy week. I'm trying to catch up on everything because I won't have any time next week. I've been doing some work for my beta readers this week. I haven't done anything on my WIP except tweak my synopsis. I'm trying to give it more of the protagonist's voice. A little attitude and sass.

I'll be picking my mom up at the airport on Sunday afternoon and she'll be staying for a week. I won't be able to get on to blog, comment or respond to emails. Please don't think I'm ignoring any of you.

Thank you very much to Elizabeth Arroyo and Myne Whitman for passing on to me The Versatile Blogger award. They're two wonderfully talented and fascinating women. Please check out their sites.

I watched a Norwegian film last night called Trollhunter. It was a bit silly and done in Blair Witch style, but the trolls were awesome. It's worth it just to see the trolls.

I'm nearing 100 followers. I'm so excited and thankful. Sometimes I get a little stage fright writing an entry. Yet I hope I'm not boring you to death. Once I hit 100 followers, I'll have a giveaway. Hm, any thoughts on a clever name for it?

Have a good weekend!

And yes, that photo demonstrates exactly how I sit down to type with a gorgeous muse whispering in my ear as he admires my sexy lean shapely legs. Well, I guess my legs have shape!
