Sometimes I Write

So are the days of my life.  O.K.  Maybe I’m mixing my metaphors again.  I’m just trying to express my exasperation at how little I’ve accomplished considering how quickly time seems to be passing lately.  Tomorrow I’m staying home ALL day.  Just me, school with the kiddos, and Mt. Washmore.  I’m hoping to FINALLY post the blog post I’ve been working on for 2 months on the Sex, Love, and Marriage blog.  It’s about the “M” word…and I don’t mean “marriage.”  It has been put off long enough.  It’s definitely one of those “feel the fear and do it anyway” situations.  I’d also like to spend nap time reading.  I picked up a copy of Starving Jesus, Craig Gross’ latest book.  His book The Gutter was AMAZING!  It’s pretty close to what I would write If I were going to write a book about SEVENS and why we do what we do.  Good stuff!

Speaking of writing…I’ve been published!  If you’ve already heard this story, smile and celebrate with me again. 🙂  I submitted a story for a compilation book that will be coming out in the next few months.  I received a note from the publisher saying they’d be honored to include my story in their book, pay me a small fee, and send me a limited edition hard cover when the book is released.  I am so excited, I’m telling everyone who will listen!  It’s my first submission and my small (big in my mind) success is giving me the courage to submit some other pieces I’ve written.  It’s a great start for me.  I’ll blog about it when the book is released.  I’ve always dreamed of seeing my name printed in a book.  I still dream of the day my name is printed ON a book.  I have so much to learn and I’m eager to do so.  Thank you to all who have encouraged me to keep writing. 🙂

Now I’m off to write about the “M” word…
