2013 has been a very strange and interesting year.  Our 43 year old son came home to recover from some medical issues and then I got my dream job that lasted for less than six months and generally have been in a bit of a funk for more than two months.  Today I decided that I am tired of that.  It is time to get over the bad stuff and get back to living.  So....

1. I am going to post my paintings and books on e-bay and amazon.com and restart this blog and look at the good things in my life and not worry about what may not be perfect.  In the few months I had my dream job, I learned to use Photo-shop and I learned some very good marketing tips.  I also grew as an artist and writer and  am enjoying both very much.  I should be able to do this.


2.  I am rewriting one of my novels and plan to publish it next year.  I took the first couple of chapters in to my writing group...and....they LIKED it.  YES!   They didn't like my Vampire book so much so this is a good thing.  LOL

3. I will get over  the fear of self promotion and Do some of that.  I will tweet and post my books on Penterest and Facebook and do it right.  I have published 5 books.  I have nothing to prove.  I just need to do what needs to be done.  I already have two book signings for December at B&N.

SMILE........I am blessed and I am reasonably healthy and I have so many things to be grateful for.  Thank You, Heavenly Father....I appreciate what you have done for me.
