I have a personal site now so I will be using that as my primary blog and info about my book, it's also copywrited! Anyhow if anyone wants to stop by and take a gander at it...www.samanthalafantasie.com
This weekend I went to my montly writers meeting. I discovered that I can attend a critiquing group, which I am very excited about. I also recieved a partial of my chapter back for a book that I a currently writing with the bestcompliment that I could have ever recieved this early in the game. She pretty much explained to me that she understood that I was pretty new but my writing was really super good for being new. It was like angles singing my praises!! Oh it felt so good! This chapter has been revised and will be sent off in the mail for a contest...I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I am also not getting my hopes up. I just hope that I will be getting a really good solid piece of critiquing knowledge from this. They are wanting judges. I am willing to do that, but I am just not sure how to go about it...hmm. So, there it is my feel good fuzzy moment!
A rose by any other name.....yeah. I'm confessing I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to names. When I was a teen and not so much thinking about having kids but thinking of what their names would be I came up with some pretty spaztastic ones. None stuck. Theressa Evon Elizabeth Zachary Alexander Nathaniel Aidan These ones did. Introducing my three kids...I mean monsters! Last night I spent my evening in an ER with my oldest (Theressa). She had something lodged in her ear...or so we thought. Turns out it was a large (and I mean a large raisin worth) of ear wax. Behind it was a pink bead. To make things more interesting, I had made three neckalces out of beads and stretch cord for my kids. The boys had varying shades of green while Theressa had pink and clear. No one messed with the beads while I made them and also didn't spill them...or so I thought. Anyhow, the boys both broke theirs. Theressa didn't actually have hers break until tonight, of all nights. The mystery here is how the heck did she end up with a pink bead in her ear burried by an ungodly amount of ear wax and for that length of time!? We half expected a green one, but pink? Doesn't make sense! For future references: If I mispell a word, I can't get the stupid spell check to work and I have become overly dependent upon it. So please, have mercy on me!
I feel dumb, but, I am now enlightened! This by my first posting to my new blog! I am a bit new to this whole blogging thing, so if you all out there could give me a few pointers as to what to put on here or some interesting topics to talk about please comment with them! Thanks! ~Sam~
