Anne McCaffrey, A Sad Passing

Tinkerbell, Holidays,and Editing...

Oh my. As in lions and tigers and bears. :-)

It just worked out that way, but here I am, knee deep in holiday magic and the joy of editing. You may detect a tinge of sarcasm. You'd be right.

I love writing. I'm happy it's my new career with all its ups and downs. I'm thankful I have the opportunity to be creative. But humans, including this one, will always display a certain amount of griping no matter what.

So here I am, almost done with a new book, and now I have a whole 'nother list of Yuletide chores that happily distract me from editing.

I was looking around you tube the other day (another distraction), and found this cute video of Tinkerbell. This one is good because it captures all of Tink's moods...happy, sad, mad, irritated, giggly, joyous. Just like how I feel during the holidays. And about my writing.

Here's to a good start of the season...

Gingerbread 2

Readers comment on the most interesting things. Or rather, they sometimes like things I never thought they would. When I posted a pic of the gingerbread house I made with my husband and some friends, I had several comments, especially about the pooping reindeer. People liked it.

So someone asked me if we were going to do it this year. Already have! We decided to do a zombie double wide trailer. I made the zombie snowman. Note the bloody entrails. Writers are a sick bunch. And yes, there is a pooping animal. A kitty. :-)
