Obstacles and Lack of Discipline
I have been writing, but at a slow pace and without updating this blog. I mentioned in my previous post that I was feeling superstitious – there was an ice storm here in town that week, and I was going to post that I’d weathered the storm just fine but I was kind of afraid…

Superstitious?
I don’t think of myself as very superstitious, but I just deleted a blog post without publishing it because I didn’t want to jinx myself. So maybe I am.

Progress
I had to take a break from writing last night, as I’d slept super poorly and couldn’t focus. Tonight I watched a movie with the kids, so I probably won’t get much done again. I’m kind of forcing myself to write this, so don’t expect the most captivating of posts today. The book is fun…

I’m Back
So it’s been a non-writing kind of span of time.. First I got sick. Then my daughter got sick. Then boyfriend got sick. So that wasn’t great. But I also changed jobs, and managed to step into a new role when there was a LOT to do. Combined with meeting a lot of new people…

Proofs arrive tomorrow!
Of course, I already found a typo… but that’s the breaks. I took a shot at editing it myself, as the amazing book layout person does give me an editable version – but since I don’t have her fonts and such, it uglied up her layout way too much. I’ll just make a list and…

Dear “Add my Chat Widget to your Site” Guy
Stop signing up for my book announcements every day, and putting comments (that I never publish) about your amazing chat widget. I’m sure it’s a great little widget. This isn’t a website that needs a chat widget. You’re annoying me. This post is for you, boostleads guy…
