A Happening to Celebrate!!

I've been holding in this news for what seems like months, but it's finally safe to announce... (drum roll please).... I sold two more stories to HQN!

Out of the Ordinary (think Gilmore Girls meets The Sopranos) and a subsequent book--working title--Into the Wild (think Romancing the Stone meets The Discovery Channel.) I'm thrilled. I'm... dancing on air. Woo-hoo!

(Special thanks to my super-hip agent Amy Moore-Benson and my-too-cool-for-her-stilettos editor Keyren Gerlach)

Did I say... woo-hoo!??

WRITING: Worked on the WIP synopsis. Am I done yet??
RECREATION: Watched a movie with Steve. Where Eagles Dare. An old war flick starring Richard Burton and a young Clint Eastwood. Ambitious. Maybe overly so? I was so confused.
EXERCISE: Added two pound wrist weights to my, now, forty minute power walk. During the first five minutes I was certain my arms would fall off, the burn in my biceps was so bad. But ignored the pain and persevered. I WILL have toned biceps, darnit.
DIET: Made my WW garden veggie soup. Yum. That was lunch. Zero points. Steve made us fish for dinner. Coconut crusted something-or-other. Also yum.
MOOD: Thoughtful
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Success is as much a matter of luck as of ability, but perhaps even more, of perseverance in "sticking it" until the luck turns." --B.H. Iddell Hart
