Bliss is still a work in progress.


Summer has begun officially even though school was out almost a month ago. I have been finishing up my school work and have been trying to get my house in order in between illnesses and vacation. Now we are here, the place I want to be-- ready to start my publishing one of my books. So what is my first step. I have one book that has a cover made, it is written and now I need to read it from start to finish at least once to make sure it is complete and finish it. And I will find a few final readers. This book I think has been over edited-- part of my issue was too much editing. I have realized that I am not perfect with my grammar but sometimes I think my voice was being edited out because it was not was the norm. I think books now are not the books of yesterday and in the time since I wrote the books (six years on some of the novels) the whole industry has changed. So I will publish these books. Step one. Finish Cleaning house so I cannot use it as an excuse. Step Two. Clean me- I got great samples like my Gillette Venus Swirl (I get freebies in the mail to practice my writing skills when I am not writing my novels.) and a facial from coconut sugar scrub.

Step Three Read Mythic Doppelganger and Find readers and beg my former editor friends to read the final drafts. Publish by 8/1/16.

Sounds Simple? I promised myself when I started all this that I would be published by forty and that is less than six months away.

Where is my mind? Only the Pixies know for sure.

I am a horrible blogger, I haven't written a post in months. Its not like I have any followers to piss off so I guess I am safe. Since Christmas I have been either sick or stressed, sometimes both. But I am healthy again and looking to become even healthier.

 Although New Years is months past and Lent is a third of the way over, I have a few new resolutions I want to implement. I went to a Wellness Fair at my work two weeks ago and listened to a speaker about some of the real consequences of chemicals in our foods and drinks. I knew there was things in my Diet Coke and Sunny D that were not exactly natural but they just tasted so good. But since that training I have been researching and trying to move for me (and my family since I do all the shopping) towards all Organic eating and drinking habits.

So far the biggest drawbacks for me will be the drinks in my life-- I love Diet pop and Crystal Light. The thought of only drinking water makes me wanna puke. Wish me luck!

Resolution number two is to return to writing. I am like a million others who have multiple full length novels, a few novellas and not a damn thing completed in the editing process. I go gung-ho for a month or two then I write nada for a couple months. I have no idea if I just self sabotage, I am a lazy ass or if maybe I am not meant to write and I should let it fade away. I love writing, I love having characters take over and spit out lines and plot I didn't know where even a possibility. I love being transported to another time, place or circumstance through books. I want to share that with others... yet I stop short of a complete transcript. Am I afraid of failure? Criticism? Or maybe even success? So here I go... hopefully my new organic living will help my writing or maybe help heal my crazy ass brain.
