Hello!
Oh my goodness, how in the world is everybody doing? We’re
good, but it’s been a crazy couple-a months! Whew!
The good news is (and has been for quite some time now) I’m
writing a new book!
The bad news is (or the reality-flip-side of my good news is)
that when I say I’m writing a new book, I have to actually sit down and take
the time to write the book! Yeah, I know! It’s crazy, right? I have to actually
do the work! Crazy, but very true, however!
I’m not a person who likes to give a lot of excuses, so I
won’t make a list for you. That said, ‘life’ really can get in the way
sometimes – even of our best intentions and best-laid plans. Sometimes the ‘life’
that I speak of is serious and needs immediate attention. We’ve ‘been there,
done that’ this winter – that’s for sure! And sometimes the ‘life’ that I speak
of is just plain exhaustion, or using my time unwisely, or losing focus, or
feeling uncreative, or, or, or… (okay, this is sounding a lot like the excuse thing that I dissed earlier – I digress)
;)
Now, back to the good news… The good news is that I’ve been
working on a book project for quite some time now. I don’t want to give too
much away because I want there to be an element of surprise in this. BUT, I do want to begin hinting at the book’s
theme, so that you can all become as excited about this as I am. Okay, the
theme is… (Drum roll please…) “LOVE.” Through a series of interviews that I’ve
been conducting, I will be talking about love, love, and more love – a LOT! In fact, a whole books’-worth o' love!
Well, what do you think? Are you interested? I hope so! Are
you intrigued? I really hope so! Are you going to stay tuned to see what I have
up my sleeve? Oh, I’m really praying that’s how you’ll feel!
Someone told me recently that I don’t post on social media
as often as I used to. That, my dear friends, is true. Yes, I’ve been trying to
keep my finger on the pulse of what’s happening on Facebook and Twitter, but as
I said earlier, I’ve really needed to buckle down and work on my ‘love’ly book
project. And it’s funny because when I do that – when I actually shut out
tempting distractions like the television, telephone, and social media ‘shtuff,’ my
productivity rises considerably. Who knew? Sooo… I put my head down, my fingers on the keys, and onward I go!
I’m very excited to tell you all of this news today, and sincerely
hope that you will feel the same way I do. I promise to keep in touch as I
progress, but in the meantime…
