Hi everyone,
I’ve been very busy with family, writing, etc. If anyone follows my Facebook, you’ve probably seen. Unfortunately, Facebook might be dripping away some of my blogging motivation. I’m also deluged with so many thoughts that I’m having a difficult time plucking them down for writing in my blog. My mom says I shouldn’t hide so many facets in my life, and show only the professional side. I think she’d like to see more mommy blog things from me.
I agree with her, but then I think: those are MY things, not anyone else’s. Also, my family is so awesome, it would be boring to everyone but my mom. That’s the problem with awesomeness. Great to live in it, boring on the outside looking in.
And really, everything isn’t completely peachy, but I hate whining.
So on goes the professional face. And it is a good face because it’s hard work and frustrating and all tension ridden and stuff. You know, not boring to the reader. Theoretically. If you want to know what happens next. I also can’t whine here, because that would look unprofessional.
Ack!
So anyway, the book has been out a little over a month now. Over three websites: Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, and Borders, I’ve had 12 ratings. All but one of those is five stars. The other is four stars. Other reviews outside of bookstore ratings are also very positive. It isn’t so different that I regularly check all the bookstore websites. I love bookstores in any form. What is different is the one single book I regularly check on.
So, we are getting ready for Siggraph. This is difficult in one way for me. My creativity is being pulled in more than one direction. I have plenty of the muses hanging about. Just the fact that I AM a mom. I have a kid still in school and I volunteer there. The school is far away, I need to pick her up. I have a four year old who really shouldn’t be babysat by the TV, though the currently away at camp teenage girls are usually there to help in the summer. And if they aren’t there, I’ve probably driven them somewhere.
Not sure if I’m scared or excited about 16 yr old getting her drivers license. A little of both, I think.
Plus, there is a big family reunion coming up at a fantastic ranch in Idaho.
I teach young children at church, and I’m in both the ward and stake choirs.
Planning another 3D book. Desperate to work on my novel. Have several short stories in the almost complete stage, and some I’ve recently sent back out into the market.
