Hey Shawna,

It's good to see you, too. Thanks for the add.

Please keep those dynamite books of yours coming. I need my Shawna fix!

Hey Shawna!

Finally home from Colorado - I definitely didn't want to leave! Amazing how clean and fresh everything seemed out there. Now I can't wait to go back.

Anyway, I put a small slideshow on my page, in case you wanted to check it out. Mostly landscapes, but I think you'll agree as to why I posted them.

Hope you're doing well. I've been writing a wee bit - almost 1K for the week which, for me, is quite good. LOL

*hugs*

Hi Shawna!

Thanks so much for your encouragement - it really means the world to me! And cross your fingers that I finally reach "The End" on both of these!

We're getting ready to leave for Colorado on Saturday for a quick family vacation. I'll be glad to get away from the city for a while! LOL I'm vacillating between bringing the laptop, in order to work a bit, and leaving it at home, in order to "see" the stories in a different light.

We'll see what happens, won't we? LOL

*hugs*

Hey girlie! How are you? *big hugs*
I took your advice and started over on that story. Needless to say, it's very, very slow going. Also went back to a story I tucked away a few months ago. My goal is to have it finished and edited by the end of October. Gosh, I'm such a slower writer.
How are you doing? And how's the writing coming along?
*hugs*

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?

RSS

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
