Haven’t been here in a few days – I’ve been busy!

Change in my plans. I guess Andy has other ideas for me.. I was going to finish my 2012 NaNaWriMo submission – The Face in the Mirror – to publish next, but Andy’s been speaking to me, (I LOVE when he does! It started as a whisper, but yesterday was more of a shout, and at 4AM this morning I had to come out and type something he gave me, and then I went right back to bed!) And since I’m getting messages ALREADY asking “WHEN” I decided to go on Andy’s lead… So here I am 84 pretty good pages of story for Feel Like Makin’ Love.

I am blown away by the messages you’ve sent me. I LOVE when you share your hearts with me over something about one of the books. Some of you share thoughts and stories that made me cry. I love that you trust me enough to share. I appreciate you for believing in me.

I can’t remember what I last shared, but I went to a book festival last weekend and met some other indie-writers as well as some who have gone the traditional route. EVERY ONE of them that I spoke with shared something with me and I left there feeling better about what I’m doing.

I needed that after my big’ol faux pas. Some books and eBooks got out with the wrong file uploaded. After I went through my bawling and crying bit, my sweet husband reminded me that in my cedar chest (I call it my treasure chest, I have many important things in there – like my mama’s wedding dress) I have a copy of a Nora Roberts book that has correction marks in it. And then he said “Some day these will be a collector’s item…” I love him. All is well now, the Kindle and the book are uploaded again and everything in my world is good. 🙂

But I learned a very VALUABLE lesson (with each book I’ve learned something that helps the path along my journey better and easier). With this one, learned that I HAVE TO HAVE ONE CALM PERSON BETWEEN ME AND THE SUBMIT BUTTON…

Well, it’s Cinco de Mayo and I have to get some Crock Pot Salsa Verde Chicken going. Family coming to celebrate with us and I hope for a SUNNY afternoon here in NE Florida.

I mean it when I say – I love y’all, Barbara
