Comment by Jennifer Lynn Knox on November 5, 2009 at 4:58pm: Sheryl, if you ever feel withdrawal, you can always fix my problems for me. I tend to have a good supply.
Way to go after your dreams! That's what life's for.

Comment by Sheryl Farmer-Storrie on November 5, 2009 at 4:51pm: Isnt' it. Mine was not writing until now. I had a job always fixing other peoples problems one way or another -a customer or client service rep. Now I cant work so I am going after a dream. Right after I clean up from reality.

Comment by Jennifer Lynn Knox on October 22, 2009 at 8:23am: I just published my book MUSICAL CHAIRS. The thing is, it took six years of my life to write, and I'm really looking to start something new. It's tough to start over after dedicating so much of my time to a single project.

Comment by Shawn Fitzgerald on October 7, 2009 at 4:06pm: Wow Sheryl. You have my prayers...I hope everything goes alright. I am thankful to have only had one minor surgery so far...and the the thought of full blown surgery puts scary thoughts into my mind. Good luck and God Bless.

Comment by Sheryl Farmer-Storrie on October 7, 2009 at 2:13pm: To Sandra,

sorry for ignoring you on accident concerning your comment. You are not alone. I do the same thing and I am stuck. I go off onto different subjects all the time as if one story leads to another leaving you guessing what I am trying to write about. My blog ... Well it venting so It takes some guess work out of it.

I am also in a funk because of the work enviroment I am being slowly forced to quit. They cant fire me because of my physical disabilities but they have made it impossible to stay. Now all three doctors I have been seeing are putting me on permanent disability. My neck will never get better, I will have to have another operation some day, my shoulder is has bone spurs and now my lower back has at least 3 but are barely pressing the spinal cord and only in certain postions. Well the Surgeon said "At least they are not near the Surgery yet?" his idea of a joke; my idea of crying like a baby. the word disable is hard to take. My family, friends and anyone else who cares are very happy. I am not. But the only good side of it is maybe that great book will come sooner. Let's hope. I need it to survive. Writing is like therapy and food. I need it.

Comment by Sheryl Farmer-Storrie on October 5, 2009 at 8:47am: I see everyone talks to eachother.......not good. I guess egos are already filled with sugarplums and candied dreams

Comment by Sandra Gonzalez on August 26, 2009 at 1:51pm: I'm new and just wanted to say hello. I'm not sure what to expect from this group. I was reading some comments about discussion ideas and wondered why you haven't just started the discussions. I don't have critique partners but I do share with a couple of friends and my sister who enjoy para. romances who offer a few suggestions.

The only kind of writing I do revolves around this series and I do get frustrated with myself for spreading myself out instead of focusing on completing one story.

Comment by Shawn Fitzgerald on August 6, 2009 at 4:48pm: Oh, and for those of you whom I do not know...I have started posted more of my writing on my blog. It's name is Inheritance of Murder, and is written in four parts. I hope all you enjoy it :-)

Comment by Shawn Fitzgerald on August 6, 2009 at 4:46pm: I am part of a creative writers group, and we not only critipue each others work, but we also have discussions at every meeting. I have found it very helpful.

And my favorite genre to write in would have to be any sort of fiction that drags me from reality. There are just sometimes were I want to escape reality and so I jump into my own world with my characters and create their stories. And recently I have been deciding on wether I would writer fan fiction short story.

If you're curious about my recently released romantic suspense, come on over to one or both blogs to check it out.

Thanks,

Time Out for Kindle Reading

Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?

Who's Doing Cyber Monday?

I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.

What about you?

Did You Shop on Black Friday?

There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.
About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.

I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.

I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.

What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?

So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.

What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
