Query

I’m writing a query letter for a literary agent. I did this many many long years ago after I wrote my first book. I sent it out to one agent after another. Nothing. Not one publishing house, not one agent would accept a new manuscript. It wasn’t exactly rejection, more like a waste of myContinue reading “Query”

Love this one

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? Sit down. Double check. Breathe. Smile. Triple check. Feel utter gratitude. Go on with my day…

Tesla, Travel, Toddler, and Snacks

We just drove down the coast from the Central Valley to San Diego. A beautiful drive if you don’t count LA. (sorry LA, traffic still sucks in a Tesla) Tidy snacks, do they have those? We tried. We did pretty well actually. Did I mention that we were driving my daughter in law’s parent’s brandContinue reading “Tesla, Travel, Toddler, and Snacks”

I used to run

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? Running. Distance running. I ran to out-run my late diagnosed ADD. It worked for awhile and I loved it. Well, mostly, I loved it. I’ll still run a little on a beach walk, but gone are my long training days, races,Continue reading “I used to run”

Chocolate

What’s your favorite candy? Chocolate.

A Break?

Do you need a break? From what? Busy ness. I do love being busy. I do love all the things I’ve been busy doing. I would like a few days of nothing much to do though, so I can get back to yoga and walking I would also like a break from not having myContinue reading “A Break?”

It seemed like a long day

Today I started with meditation at 6:00am. I then dressed myself and a toddler, brushed my teeth, then toddler teeth, my hair, toddler hair. Clips for Hazel too. Coffee, toddler tea (warm water honey and cream) and breakfast. Set up to paint and film. Painted, filmed (badly). Ever try painting with a twenty six monthContinue reading “It seemed like a long day”

The most important invention in your lifetime is… Hmmm. I imagine something to do with cellular research. The things scientists are figuring out these days with regards to health. Maybe it’s the smart little hand held computer we sometimes use as a phone?

Idealic Daze

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end. My most ideal day would start with me waking up in my own bed, in my own home. I would wake up early and shower. I would smell coffee being made as I stepped out. I would settle back in bed, hot coffee in hand. MyContinue reading “Idealic Daze”

Energy in Motion…

Toddlers move fast. Not only physically but emotionally too. My whole world is revolving around one adorable two year old who excells at outlasting all of us grown up people. When we are too exhausted to do much of anything, she’s not. At the end of a busy active day, she has run-in-circles-energy, bursts ofContinue reading “Energy in Motion…”
