Post-Promo

So my September promotion has come and gone. 136 Kindle copies were claimed, and I'm beyond excited about that! Maybe that's not a whole lot for other people, but I'm extremely happy because I was able to tell my mom that her silly story made it to 136 people this week. Her silly story possibly made 136 children smile this week.

And that's what this is all about!

I've just placed an order of books to keep on hand. Once I've gotten them, I want to continue to help children smile. I'm submitting a copy for donation to the Magic Beans Bookstore. This organization donates books, toys, and other independent work to children battling cancer, while helping to promote the work of all those who have donated. I really appreciate their program, and am more than happy to be doing business with them!

I'm working on a secret project at this moment, as well as preparing for upcoming events, and working on Our Little House on the Great Big Hill. It's been a very busy last few weeks, to say the least! (If you've seen this week's comic, you'll know what I mean hehe.)

Always Keep Adventuring

Snow Drifting

If you live in the Heartland of America, then there's a good chance that you're experiencing snow and ice right now. As an Illinoisan, snow and ice are just a part of our everyday lives during the wintertime. Last winter was rather dry, and we only had a small dusting the entire season. This year, however, Mother Nature has decided to make up what she had missed. This past Thursday was a balmy 61 degrees when I walked into work. Eight hours later, the temperature had dropped to 41, and by the time I made it home at around 10:30 PM, it had dropped an additional ten degrees. By 11:00 PM, it was sleeting. The sleet continued until early Friday morning and eventually turned to snow. Personally, I LOVE snow! Fall and winter are my favorite times of the year, and snow is one of the few things in life that hasn't lost its magic as I've aged. I love sledding and snowboarding (even though I recently bruised my tailbone by pretending I'm still 17 and agile, not 27 and app...

Busy, Busy, Busy

"Patience is a virtue." This is a quote I've modeled a great deal of my life around. And though it's often my daily mantra, I've been finding it harder and harder lately to keep it at the forefront of my perspective. I've got SO many things that I  want to do: finish writing three books that are rattling around my head, illustrate two of those books, start new projects, buy a house, feel comfortable, lose the last twenty pounds that are hanging on. But, not one  of these things are simple. Not one  of these things happen over night or instantly. And I'm struggling  with this concept. I've always considered myself a very patient person. But it's been so difficult lately. And I think I know why: I'm holding onto it. I'm pressuring myself when I shouldn't feel like I need to. I have had a very hard time of giving these things to God. Letting Him take the reigns and waiting patiently has been a struggle. It didn't used to be...
