And I find I play way too much when I should be writing. However, promoting is very important. It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place! LOL

I've been to Staten Island, the year before the towers fell. Hubby and I took the ferry over just for the experience.

This is a really cool site, Pamela. I wish I could get my generic sites to look like this!! Looking fwd to hearing from you in the future. I've written as a journalist and short story, essay and slice of life writer for 20= years, and just released my first book, . . .AND THE WHIPPOORWILL SANG, a year ago today. It was a death bed promise to a child I lost to a drunk driver vehicular homicide and is funny, poignant, sad and helpful to others who suffered similar losses.

At 5:19pm on August 27, 2008, Julie Compton said…: Hi Micki -- good to see you're on this site, too! Guess what? I finally found some book plates . . . I will send you a signed one soon to put in your book. I've got a few people I've promised to send one to, and you're one of those people. I didn't forget!

I'm on freewebs and Authors Den, but afraid I haven't had time to keep them up like I should. One of these days I'll go down my list and assign specific dates to go to each place I belong and get it back in shape. I also need to update my website. Some of the stuff is getting old there. It's difficult to keep up. Can't be everywhere. Have a good time here.

MORGAN'S OWN BLOGSPOT

Slides, Anyone?

I added a few slides of my books to my blogspot. I'm not sure yet if they should stay on or not.

Do you have more trouble loading my blogspot with the slides up? Do you like them or are they too distracting?

A Christmas Tree Already

On the way home from work yesterday, I passed a house that already had a lighted and decorated Christmas tree up and showing by the window.

Is it not too soon for that? In my mind, the day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas Season starts. That's when it's fair game to put up a tree and decorations and start shopping. The way things are going this year, I'll be lucky if I get organized enough to decorate a few days before Christmas.

With our dog, Rascal, who lives up to her name, we'll probably go with a fiber optic small tree on top of an end table. One of these days I may pull put the larger tree from the box in the basement and set it up, but not until our doggy is a little more sedate. I don't feel like chasing her to get ornaments out of her mouth. I will be putting up knick knacks, lights inside and decorations on the walls, so it will still look Christmasy. No lights outside because for some reason we have no outlets outside.

While we're on the subject of Christmas trees and such, be sure to add holidays in your books. You can mention decorations and lights or Easter eggs and baskets, or even mattress sales in your descriptions to ground the reader as to the season.
Now, back to that tree I saw. What about you? When do you decorate for Christmas? What do you put up?

Winners and Losers at the CMAs and Life

I love country music and almost every country performer. While watching the CMAs, I enjoyed seeing the winners accept their awards. On the other hand, it was hard for me to see the losers do their best to appear gracious and for the most part succeeding.

For every winner, there's a loser. In life and in books, it's the same way. How people react to their good and bad fortune shows what their characters are made of. You don't have to tell a reader who the good guy or bad guy is. Let their actions speak for themselves. The readers are smart enough to figure it out.

PS Can't finish this blog without saying - You Rock, Taylor Swift! You are one smart, talented teenager! Congrats on all your awards, especially, Entertainer of the Year!!!

CMA Awards Tonight and Twitter

One of my favorite shows is on tonight - the CMA Awards. If you're a country music fan, you're probably like me and will be glued to the TV 8pm EST, or in my case 7pm, in the flatlands of Illinois.

Almost all my favorite performers will be there, except I hear that Rascal Flatts can't make it.

I'll be on Twitter during the show also. That's part of the fun of it - discussing and dissecting outfits, performers, songs and even commercials, kind of like I'm at a giant party with people who all go for the same thing and want to share.

What about you? What kind of music do you like? Do you tweet during a favorite show or event?
