A to Z Challenge f and g

Yes. I am posting 2 letters at once. For one, I'm traveling and two, I don't blog on Sundays. And yes, my post will be short because I am terribly pathetically slow when I type on my phone:) F is for forgiveness. Sometimes it's not easy to forgive. And it's always evident when you can't because people tend to grow bitter and hateful. My thoughts: do I want to go through life with a bitter attitude and hateful words? Nope. So I choose to forgive when it is possible. Even when it seems like I can't I try my best not yo hold a grudge. G is for good. Simply put, just do good. It makes the world a better place. It makes our kids happier. It mashed our heart lighter. It spreads sunshine and cheer. You never know how many people are blessed by your goodness:) Until Monday, beautiful guys and dolls:)

  1. Life is miserable when we are bitter.
    Safe travels!

  2. Hating and resentment is like drinking the poison and expecting the other to drop dead instead. Forgiveness is a favor we are doing to ourselves. Your post is short but it is too good. :D

    1. You're so right!
      Forgiveness is nice for the one who receives it, but it's healing for the one who gives it:)

  3. I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around - so forgiveness and doing good fits in perfectly.

    Nice post. Good to meet you.

  6. No one can argue your logic here. It's easier to walk away from people who want to fight and hold grudges than engage them in protracted battles.

  7. Posting by phone deserves a special award! I never can get a message out that's more than two words long and even those are misspelled. Thick thumb deficiency.

  11. Forgiveness can be very tough, but definitely personally freeing when it is given.

  13. Hello from A to Z...I'd like to follow your blog, but there's something going on with my google right now that's not allowing me to do so...

    I think being able to forgive someone can be very liberating. But I think it's also important for us to convey to those we have we have forgiven that they must not to confuse forgiveness with permission to repeat their previous actions.

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...

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...

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...
