Snow
I live in a place, each year we get snow. This year we were bombarded with more than I've seen in years.
I don't mind the snow. I like how it piles on the branches of tree limbs and makes the yard look as if it's an ocean of snow. I even like how it sounds when you walk in it; the crunch of your foot steps.
When you sit on your porch and listen to the light breeze, gently push against the branches and the crack. The snow falls to the ground in a thud.
I can't get enough of the snow and the most important part, it put me in the mood to finish my second book. After all, it is called, SNOW MOON.

Holiday Blues...
I have found the holidays are not what I expected them to be.
It is hot for one thing. I live in Kentucky. It doesn't always snow on Christmas but it is usually cold and since I put Christmas lights up outside in a short-sleeved shirt it is kind of ridiculous. But I am glad that the kids can go outside and run around.
I've been so focused on trying to promote my book that I haven't finished picking up presents for the family. If I had a credit card, I would buy everything online so I don't have to go to the store. It would just be easier...
I've also been a little discouraged. I thought my family would be more supportive of the new book. But it seems as if they don't even acknowledge it's been published...(Sigh).
I know everyone has other things on their mind but couldn't they comment on the cover or the title. They don't have to read it -yet- but I do want some reviews from them by the end of January.
Am I being selfish for wanting them to focus on me for a few seconds?
I guess I need to forget about the book until after the holidays and then focus on it full-force, until the next book is ready to be released. I do know one thing for certain, I will make sure the next book comes out in the spring, so I don't have to worry about other things, just the book.
