Thank you

Thank you for all your prayers, thoughts, and condolences during my time of loss. The funeral was very hard. I was so thankful for my family and support of my friends.

During the viewing and wake at the church, my mommy had to go to the emergency room. I've never been more scared for her life. We all thought she had a heart attack, but the EKG showed nothing wrong. She is home now and feeling much better.

The one bright side of the funeral was seeing family and cousins I haven't seen since I was a child. Why do we always wait until a tragedy to get together with family? We've planned a family reunion for this summer and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again.

The one thing I learned this past weekend? Enjoy every minute of life and NEVER take your family and friends for granted. Tell them every day how much you love them because you never know when the last opportunity will pass.

Have a great week with your family, beautiful guys and dolls. See you Wednesday for ISWG.

I love you, Uncle Jimmy. Give granny and papa a hug for me when you meet them in heaven.

    Glad your mother is all right!
    There's a lesson there about appreciating people while they are still here.

    I'm sorry about your loss. It must have been frightening having your mother in that predicament at such a fragile time. I'm pleased she's all right. Family is so important. It's sad that we don't think about getting together until there is some major family event.

    I'm sorry about your loss and the stressful occurrence. I'm glad your mother is alright. I do agree that a funeral, though sad is a good time to see family again. I wish my extended family got together more frequently than the sad times.

Writer in Motion Round two

Hey beautiful guys and dolls!! Welcome to my first post during WRITER IN MOTION round two. I was lucky enough to be chosen in the raffle to have my short, 1,000 word or less flash fiction chosen to be edited by a professional editor! So, follow along  my journey as I go from prompt to polished draft in for weeks. Out first post is prepping for the first draft. Given the prompt, what were my first thoughts and what did I do to prep the character, story, and plot?? HEre's the photo prompt: Honestly, it didn't speak me. At all. I was lost, and my excitement quickly deflated like a helium balloon stuffed in the back of a dark closet. Not because I didn't like the photo. I LOVED it. But because I was completely lost in ideas. So, I put the put the picture away, and ignored it. Well, that's not true. The photo haunted me for hours. Who was this girl? Why was she here? What had happened up to this point in time? That's when it hit me. Tell the story before...

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...
