WOW, It's been a while!

Okay, I just looked at the date I was last here and (BLUSH) WOW, it's been a while.

I've been. . . busy, cranky, depressed, frustrated and seriously hard to get along with. These are not the kinds of things you want to publicize to the world. So I've crawled into myself for a while. I am starting to get back on track.

Let's see. Progressing toward a move to Denver at the end of summer. (WHOOO HOO!!!)
Working to get my finances straightened out. (UGH!)
Having fun with the animals. (Always)
James is doing well. (Thank God, and I'm proud of you kiddo.)

Had a bad case of writer's block. It well and truly does suck. Basically, I'm more sensitive than I should be. I know this. It is why Cathy, (bless her), sent out all of my stuff at first---because rejection letters just killed me, and blocked my ability to write.

Well, I did a first draft of a book. And like all of my first drafts, it was crap. (Until I do a second pass, it's not a book, trust me), and I let criticism get to me in a big way. I know better. But I couldn't help it. But I'm finally to the point I can sit down at the computer and not just play computer games. SO, I'm fixing the draft now. And this weekend I'm doing the rewrite of a short story that is (ARGH!!!) due.

Oh, I'm starting a new fitness program too, because my health hasn't been great.

So that's it for now.

WOW, exciting. Breathtaking even. NOT!!!

Later.
