February Follow-Up...

 Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well. This will be a very short post --in many good ways February has been rather uneventful, but it's also been uneventful in ways that I wish had been more eventful, so it's been an okay month--not too bad. My eldest had a birthday, one of my brothers is a February birthday, one of my cousins had a birthday, and one of  my sisters had a wedding anniversary. So there are those things. :-)

I'm writing and editing, but other than that there isn't any author life news to report.

In my personal life, I've gotten some things taken care of for a family event happening later this year. It should be fun!

Pitch events have already happened on X, BlueSky, and Instagram Threads, so 2026 has had a strong start so far in that respect.

AND! If you missed a certain posts by @UnhingedPit (and ones by me) on X (Twitter) and BlueSky, I recommend you go check!

My St. Valentine's Day was rather quiet given we had a storm blowing through here in the evening. It's okay. I don't mind. But I hope all of you had a lovely St. Valentine's Day!

So, for now, just plugging along with the daily stuff. We'll see what March brings!

Have a Wonderfully Whimsical Wednesday!

October Is Almost Over...

 Happy End-Of-October!

I'm a bit late posting for the month, but at least I'm getting it in before it ends!

We've had some days of mild temperatures with beautiful sunshine, and a bit of a breeze. A lovely change from 90-100 degree Fahrenheit that we had in August and September. We did get some rain, which is good.

I've done a bit of writing this month--not a ton, but at least it's making progress and I think the manuscript I've been mostly working on will be fun story when it's written. (There are already fun aspects to it, as far as I'm concerned!)

September feels a bit of a blur of sorting through emotions on some things I've had to deal with and family responsibilities. But October has been better. Sometimes things happen and you just have to keep holding onto hope (my faith as a Catholic Christian helps me tremendously with that).

I celebrated my birthday, my dad's, and sent birthday wishes to other family members whose birthdays fall in October. My husband and I went out to dinner the weekend of my birthday--something we hadn't done in awhile and I really enjoyed it. I think we need to have dinner or date out more often!

It's hard for me to believe that November is almost here, but there we are! My thoughts are starting to turn towards family moments, smiles, laughter, and the warmth of the Holidays. I always look forward to seeing the Church all decorated for Christmas. The flowers are always so beautiful and love Christmas hymns (I love Christmas music in general, too) I don't love snow--you northerner regions can keep it as far as I'm concerned--but I do like 50-60 degree weather, and hot cocoa or hot cinnamon apple flavored tea. I'm also a big fan of baked goods (especially my dad's).

I'm not sure what the rest of 2023 will bring, but I wish you a wonderful end of October, a safe and Happy Halloween (which I also call All Hallow's Eve) and a Merry Monday!

September Is Here Already...

 Happy Friday Everyone!

It's September...! Is it just me, or does this year feel like it's going by fast?

Schools are back in session. Texas hasn't gotten the menu that it's getting into the Fall months. But that's nothing new when it comes to September in my part of Texas.

I've got four family members with birthdays--a joyful thing for sure. Buddy Holly was born on September 7th (and I enjoy several of his songs). My deceased friend, Sarah's, birthday is on September 16th.

After working so intensely on revisions on one of my manuscripts, I've been reacquainting myself with the WIPs (Works In Progress) that I haven't as yet finished writing. It's been interesting...I like them a lot more now than I did even when I started writing them! My long-time critique partner is working on some stories she hopes to release--I got a chance to read one of them. I hope readers will enjoy it. She's a very talented writer.

Not much else to report on so far, since it's just the beginning of the month, but stay tuned! If something comes up that I want to announce, I'll announce it!

Meanwhile, Happy September 2023!

Have A Fantastically Frabjous (look up Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky poem for that word) Friday!
