Almost done! Nearing the end #amwriting #fantasy

Royal Blood - Book Two - KennedyWorking on Sylphline Realm – Royal Blood this week.

 

I’m near the end of this book and can’t even begin to say how happy that makes me. It’s not that I’m tired of it, just that I always love finishing a book! Makes me want to do a little happy dance. Super fun. Feeling pretty damn good.

Then I can start a new book. :D

Didn’t see the ending coming that’s in this book and that I’m headed toward. Gotta admit, it’s like fshewy.

Was a bit busy this morning. After writing, I went to get the mower started and the darn mower wanted to be a pain in the butt. It didn’t help that the lever for the self-propelled function broke when I went to start it. Our mower is really heavy so at times I do like to use it when going up a little hill, through the really thick moss that’s in the front lawn, and things like that. I don’t always use it, but do need it, so I have to get that replaced soon. Twenty dollars just for that. Sheesh.

I apologize to all neighbors who received the blasts of smoke as the engine started, coughed, then died three times! lol I kept sweet talking it and everything. Come on, come on, come on. The one pull mower refused to cooperate so it took more like twenty pulls, some cussing, and some baby talk to get it going. First time since last Summer that it was used.

Then just after I finished the lawn, I took apart the housing where the lever was to see what was broken. And about that time we had a boy come over from a roofing company she talked to. The owner offered to temporary fix the roof above my mom’s room because there is a leak that comes all the way through when it rains. He went up there and placed some roof tarp over the shingles I think. Since I can’t climb up there, I don’t know for sure. It was all done for free. We were in desperation mode with that so that is a company that I have to say is amazing. If you live in the area they serve, this is a highly recommended company – Mountain Goat Roofing

They did the neighbor’s roof and I have never seen a roof that looked beautiful, but that one does. There are a few details that the company put down on the roof that makes it look really nice.

Been having a few tough days, so having things like this, and chatting with a few friends the past few days have really helped me get my mood back up there. I think a lot of stress started to weigh on me. Dealing with the roof, not having the money to fix it, having so many things to accomplish every day by myself, and then it all just compiled. I also have a friend that I’m worried over. He and I hadn’t talked in a long time and I discovered he screwed up again and got himself in trouble with the law. He’s not my responsibility, but it doesn’t stop me from caring and being concerned for him. We’ve been friends for a long time and I’ve been realizing some things that I overlooked back then. He got me through the worst part of my life and gave me support that I’ve never known in my life, as well as he’d just been kind when I needed someone to be. Had myself a good cry the other night and then asked for guidance from whoever was listening. I still don’t know if I believe in God, but I know that there is something out there and when we put out intentions or thoughts, we’ll receive help. Maybe it’s just a compilation of energy from all of us together. I’m open to anything.

Word count I started the day with: 74,084

 Worked from 10:50 AM – 11:15 AM. Ended the day at: 75,986.

Goal for this book is around 90K. Looking like it’ll probably be in the 80’s range. We’ll see. I usually put a lot in during editing so I’m fine with it being less than planned.

Total for the day: 1902 words

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
