To: All Nutmeg Fans

Heyu!

I just wanted to tell you about what's coming soon in 2011! We get to cross swords with a young King Arthur, rub a lamp and escape pirates with a genie, and ride a Unicorn or two. Also a couple of book reviews (Inkheart anybody?) and my thoughts on the new Narnia movie!

There're a lot of exciting adventures still to be had,

and I can’t wait to tell you about 'em!

So ttyl,

From your favorite neighborhood Author   :D

Greetings to 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Let me be the first to say it:

2011 is gonna  rock!

Hold on, going to? Scratch that, it already does rock I mean look at today! Hasn't the Lord made the perfect first day? It's gorgeous outside (there's an azure sky, the breath of winter is cool and sweet, the sun is smiling down on us … sorry to those of you buried under snow; I live in the tropics).

Hallelujah!

J

W-O-W what a year! I would like to take a moment to bid adieu to 2010. It teetered on the edge of insanity but, hey, it was a lot of fun and full of Blessings.

              

    I hope your year was as good as mine.

And I’m sure 2011 is gonna be even better!

I can’t wait; there are lots of new changes, new chances, and new possibilities that the Lord will put before us, and it’s our privilege to grasp every one of them! A lot of good things are coming, I can feel it; 2011 will be an excellent year!

As always,

I resolve to jump on every adventure I can

and write about each and every one of them!

Hmmmm, I wonder what Escapades are in store for us this year?

We’ll just have to wait and see!

For now, I have some writing to do soooo…

HaPPY NeW YEAr ! ! ! !

P.S. You’re going to be hearing a lot from me!

Coloring Outside the Lines

I feel like I’m sailing the ship S.S. Possibilities and imagination is filling my sails.

 But even though these seas are rough, I’m going to make it to port.

   Lol, nice metaphor, huh?

But it’s true.

My dad and I are talking a lot about how to get where I want to go and it got me thinking:

We’re never going to get anywhere unless we think outside the box.

I mean, seriously,

Edison probably thought light bulbs were a radical concept at first!

                                                But he tried it,

it worked,

                                                   and today we’re illuminated

(I mean, look at New York)!

So why should we confine ourselves to conventional thinking? We are artists, aren’t we? Then we should use our artistic ‘flair’ to enter into the world in unconventional ways. I’m going to keep musing on that, so I’ll just say this:

Life sure is Boring when you color inside the lines.

Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving Yall!

Today is a day to give thanks to the Lord and spend time with your family. Oh and to eat your weight in apple pie...... mmmm pie.......

                                                            uh, moving on

    This is what the Holidays are to me:

Family time.

We should all be thankful for the time we have together and all the things the Lord has blessed us with, because He has blessed us greatly.

    I'm thankful for my friends and my family and the Laughter we always share (I'm blessed to live amongst a lot of funny people).

So what about you? What are yall thankful for? 

Trolls in My Printer

IT'S DONE! IT'S SENT! IT'S MAILED!

My novel has now been mailed to the publisher!

The reality is still setting in.

    I didn't quite know how to feel at first, I mean, I've been living this book for about six months! But I know this:

God is good and life is awesome!

    Ok now I'm getting excited! I'll probably be doing the happy dance for the next week.

    Of course, I had last minute printing to do (having noticed some obvious mistakes this morning) but after removing a few trolls that jammed my printer, we did manage to make it to the post office in one piece.

Overall the process was crazy

                                                                   and hectic

but totally Worth it;

I can't believe I actually did it!

    Now I should probably catch up on the chores I've put off (like Mount Clothesmore slowly consuming my bedroom). If I don't post for a while just assume my laundry ate me, lol.

    Gosh, I can't believe it's sent (and just in the nick of time, too). Now I have a short 3-6 month wait. 

    Lets do it again! (And yes I am nuts). Time to start a package for Disney. : D

Remember: you can do anything
