Yeah, so, I totally didn't plan for this week at
all and had no one on the list to write this guest post. I'm such a splendid
organizer...
So, here I am, scrambling out some sort of post
by which I can make amends. Nobody is{n't} perfect. {Pun intended...eh he...and
I'm bad at making puns.} But at least this is something.
I have been reading a storm of books this last
month. I've probably finished ten or eleven novels. Several of them were
excellent. Several were mediocre. One of the ones I picked up was Peter Pan by
J. M. Barrie. Not the children's Disney makeover, but the real classic Peter
Pan. It is fantastic.
It is still a children's story {obviously}, but
it is so cute. I love the narrating style and laughable moments. Of course, I
am still a child at heart, so what can I say?
I have been editing my own novel In
the Shadow to within and inch of my life. Someday I'll get it
there....someday....
I had this ridiculous notion when I began this
blog for it to be some sort of professional site with Q & A format, exact
purposes, specific guidelines and picture-perfect posts. So I've given up that
dream {or nightmare} because I realized that is not what I want. I want my
writing to be more than that. Up front and personal. Meaningful. Useful. Not a
dry, thick-worded mass through which you have to wade just to discover
something interesting. {How was that for absolutely boring...}
I don't do boring. It's not my thing. Never been
bored an hour in my life. I don't plan on making you bored either.

Ah-ha! I see your funky Pinterest button. Well done! You conquered! And a nice post. I like reading posts with a personal twist rather then a professional one too. ;) Keep up the good work!
