I live no-where near my relatives (had flown most of the way up the day before) so I was catching up with family I hadn't seen for anywhere between ten and thirty years!AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-36323884126361166822018-10-22T09:51:56.724-04:002018-10-22T09:51:56.724-04:00We'll just say, "Yes!" and leave it ...We'll just say, "Yes!" and leave it at that.Miles O'Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566986720292847069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-28844535052566859142018-10-21T18:09:43.848-04:002018-10-21T18:09:43.848-04:00Sherry, YAY!

Such a wonderful and lovely update regarding your picture book getting into the hands of the littles. <br /><br /><b>Lennon</b>, So proud, happy, and excited for you. But you know that.<br /><br />To everyone making strides: Another big YAY! <br /><br />Me? I'm doing boatloads of laundry. And it's thoroughly worth it for a gathering of family: my brother and his wife from Oregon (in their 70s), sister from Michigan (in her 80s), sister from Tahoe (in her mid 60s), and a niece from Michigan (who is my age, 60, and is more like a sister). Much laughter with this group. And much reminiscing about the ones who are no longer here.

Sort that out and I find my new puppy, Molly, has eaten the cord. Of to buy a new one. On a Sunday. In northern Canada. <br />Good news is that I have two sensitivity readers for my novel now, and the revision is hours away from being finished. <br />No ‘victory at last’ for me but it looks like I can take down the troops on the horizon.

Just helping a neighbor a little, too.<br /><br />Physically: I can do all of the crap I could always do, it just takes longer to recover.<br /><br />Mentally: You have all seen pictures of disasters. When you see one it person you mind can't take it all in. It takes your mental breath away and leaves a numb spot. Alligator point in the panhandle of Florida did that to me.

Actuall...Is (was) your day off to a rousing start?<br /><br />Actually...<br />43 degrees, wind 20 mph, <br />Wind-chill, 'fah-reasoning.'<br />Off to pick pumpkins and take a hay ride in a huge open wagon pulled by a half-century old John Deere. How we finally got to the farm was a Lucy and Ethel classic.<br /><br />2 year old, 4 year old, 2 mothers and I (our family) were the only hay ride riders.<br />The last time I have been so cold it was after a blizzard, below zero, and we were without power for three days. My bag pipes may have been frozen but I cannot remember laughing so hard in a very long time. <br /><br />Highlight...the driver of the tractor drove the entire route over open fields and through apple orchards while balancing a pumpkin on his head.<br /><br />Shucks...too bad I don’t write a column anymore. Ah hell, I’ll write one anyway.<br />Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-8952518971662629382018-10-21T13:30:49.413-04:002018-10-21T13:30:49.413-04:00I don't understand how animals and kids look s...I don't understand how animals and kids look so adorable sleeping, sneezing, and yawning. On grownups it looks so different. <br /><br />I just discovered the song "Never Enough" from the Greatest Showman. The voice is Loren Allred and I am in awe at the sheer power of such a voice coming from someone relatively small. I am in the last edits of my WIP before betas and this is a motivating song to listen to while working. <br /><br />Listening to it on repeat!<br /><br /><b>KariV</b> - that sounds amazing.<br /><br />Happy Sunday, everyone.

Multiple children who’d been at my launch (first graders at the school) came through and were so excited to buy the book, and see me again. Parents told stories of being bugged to death because they’d missed the window to order! And woke up this morning to the sweetest post about it on Twitter, too. Writing picture books is HARD! Selling them is harder. You don’t really make money. But, wow, do you ever get rewards!!Sherry Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326605891373049617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-25897995878982365862018-10-21T11:57:05.528-04:002018-10-21T11:57:05.528-04:00OMG!
