FREE PLOTS

I know NANO is going on for many of you writers and this year I wondered, what on earth can I do to help? I studied on this for a moment, trying to recall your suffering from last year and then it hit me!

I remember some of you just had a dang hard time even starting, an idea was born. Not to take up too much of your valuable writing time I am offering a few free plots here. Feel free to steal any or all.

200 Followers and What Can I Give

As you may have noticed I surpassed 200 followers last week. A milestone for sure in this blogging community. So what’s a girl to do for a party of 200?

Many of you have given things away, held parties, just all sorts of special celebrations, how do I top that? I don’t, plain and simple. Here is why.

My Last Post

This will close the blogging year for me, my last post of 2010. Does one truly close a year? Do we file it away in the memory portion of our conscience, only to use it as reference? What really is a year to remember?

For me I will be starting the New Year in exactly the same place I started the last; under-educated, unemployed but hopeful as ever. Yes, I said hopeful. This past year taught me many new things; including the fact hope comes in small comment forms.

One small comment after another led me to smile. Smiles led to a tinge of hope and hope led me to, “Oh, yes I can.” It has been your consistent comments that have allowed me to believe again in, “The world truly is my oyster.”

I Have a Message For You...

To all you lovely followers, I have noticed the tremble in your words. Some due to personal strife, some due to electronic dilemmas, some are cursing NaNo and some of us are just weary from all the political rhetoric. So for all of you?!

I say thank you, I encourage you and I am calling you. Your kind words have again given me flight. I’m trying my best to pass back some cheer your way, in whatever cyber form I can. In return you have sent me wings. How do I top that?

A Worded Wednesday....Awards

In lieu of being wordless I have awards to acknowledge. Funny how blog awards are a blessing and a curse, don’t you think? Receiving them means someone has read your written words and felt it worthy of a badge. Then you are cursed into sending them on and having to sit for hours stewing over whom, whom do I send this on to?

The other day Ms Nancy at NR Williams, Fantasy Author awarded me a lovely acknowledgement. Nancy has a wonderful blog and I love her hump day improvisations. Besides she hosts a really good party. So hop on over and visit her.

The rules are as follows:

• Post the award and thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog.
• Share 10 things about myself.
• Give 7 blogger friends the award and link back to their blog.

So, 10 things huh? Here goes.

WOW, 100 and I'm Sick!

Those blasted Aliens! No, that was not a story line I actually do have an awful early cold. You know one of those colds where you wish you were 10 again and Mom could take care of you. Not an option and that is not the worst of it. How much worse can it get?

For starters as tired and sick as I am, a water line broke dead in front of my house. From midnight to 4 in the morning I listened to jack hammers and backhoes tear up the street. If the noise were not bad enough each vehicle had a yellow strobe light attached to the top. Lit my bedroom up like a disco.

A Sunday Short

I try really hard to make my Sunday posts short, day of rest and all. Today I will make no exception, I will try again to keep this short. I just have a few things to say.

First and foremost! My father is home!! YEAH, but I’m well aware the road is a long one. I just pray he knows it. They live in another city, so yesterday I only spoke to him on the phone. His voice reflected that of a child receiving everything they had asked for on their Christmas list. He was home and they did not; yet, take away his gravy and biscuits.

Which brings me to all the beautiful comments. Thank you just does not seem to even come close to what I want to convey to you but will have to do. You should know though, you kind sentiments and the fact you cared cannot be measured in mere words. To each of you I send a big Kentucky bear hug.

To my new followers. WELCOME! Thank you for being here. As you can tell I’ve been a little pre-occupied with my family but you have not gone unnoticed.

To all of my followers. I have fallen behind in visiting and commenting I know. This to shall pass. Slowly I will be returning and leaving smiles in your comment forms, promise.

To those I awarded this week. I apologize for not stating how special each of you and your blogs really are, YOU ARE!  Please check them out, each are deserving for their very own special reasons.

New Awards. I must pass on a HUGE thank you to Alex, Yvonne and Lee. They have each passed on an award to me, which I plan to take care of early next week. You three are wonderful, great, and dear to my heart, you mean the world to me.

Which by the way, I’m linking my awards to the person who presented it.

Now I’m off to rest, relax and find something calming to get into. Peace be with each of you this wonderful Sunday.

You Smiled, I Noticed

As many of you know I try to take Sunday as a day of rest. Everyone needs a day to clear the cobwebs that have accumulated during the past week. Sunday is my day and rather than do a full post I just do a short thought. But before I take my day of rest……..
