Busy Busy Busy!

First of all, I promise this post isn't as depressing as my blog posts were last week. I did not intend for both posts to be about suicide, but it happened.

These last few weeks have been pretty busy leading up to the start of school. Saturday, Joker and I took three of the kids to our local fire department's corn boil. All three kids got mad. All three kids ended up spending the night at someone else's house, so we got to go have some fun.

It isn't often that my husband and I go out just the two of us. Being the karaoke junkies that we are, we started out the night at our usual bar where Batman was running karaoke. The place got too busy too fast, so we moved on. 

Our second stop of the night took us to the place where we met. Complete opposite of the first packed establishment that we were at, this one only had two other customers when we walked in. However the bartender (who was also the person running karaoke) was more worried about those other customers, so after being skipped over in several karaoke rotations and sitting with an empty drink in front of me for way too long, we moved on again.

Our last stop of the night took us back to a place we used to frequent but don't make it to very often. We ended up home early and even got to sleep in a little bit on Sunday.

Sunday, the wonderful husband took a nap in our recliner, losing his cell phone in the chair in the process. I managed to get the phone out of the chair, but not without injury. I thought I had just bruised my hand, but I went to the emergency room last night because I couldn't take the pain any more. It was severely swollen and I found out it was dislocated. After having it popped back into place (OUCH!) it is finally starting to feel better. The swelling is still there, but it's not as bad as it was yesterday. I even managed to fight through the pain and write 14 pages yesterday!

Music = Life!

Ok anyone who knows me personally knows how important music is to me. About six years ago, I guess you could say I had a crisis of faith. My faith was music. I had lost a really close friend of mine to suicide, and since he was the drummer of my favorite local band, I had no desire to listen to music anymore. In the car, my stereo was off. If my boyfriend at the time was playing music at home, I would put on noise canceling headphones just to drown out the sound. I didn't want to hear anything that would remind me of my friend. Of course, being a drummer in a popular rock band, his friends and family put together a benefit. Several amazing local bands played that day. I couldn't not go. During the first three bands, I sat outside. I couldn't bring myself to jump back into the world of live music. The bassist of one of the bands stepped outside for a cigarette between sets. We started talking. Stu will never know how much he helped me that day. We talked about absolu

The Fate of Saving Avalon

When I first ventured into the world of fantasy with the Saving Avalon series, I admit I was skeptical at first. Although fantasy is usually my chosen genre when I am reading, I had never written something like it before. Everything was new to me. Finding Her Wings didn't sell as well as I had hoped. Yes, part of it is my fault because I am so horrible at marketing. Then as I sat down to start on book two, I decided that the antagonist in Finding Her Wings is not such a bad guy after all. Most of book two was spent redeeming the past actions of this character. Of course, a demons actions cannot be redeemed in only one book. He will constantly be trying to prove that he has changed. Now I am struggling with book three. I thought I had a title and general plot figured out, but now I am not so sure. I'm missing writing about my social issues. I miss the characters in my Self Inflicted Saga. I think I need to revisit them for awhile. I need a break from Saving Avalon.

From the Corner of Her Eye is available for presale in the Kindle and Nook store! Release date is tomorrow! When I first started seriously writing in January, I never would have believed that I would already have THREE books available in just five short months. I already have a start on a brand new one! In addition to writing, most of my time is spent with my children. There are five of them, and every single one can be a handful, but put them all together and I go insane! My two year old is well into her Terrible Twos, and now has the nickname the Madi Monster. It's definitely fitting. Yesterday, I was scribbling down some ideas for Self Inflicted, and she decided to stuff a rubber duckie down the toilet. Later in the evening, I had given her a bath. While I was cleaning up the bathroom floor from her splashing mess, she decided to head out the back door of our house...butt naked.  I love her to death, but is it too much to ask to get her to take a nap so I can get some work
