What a weekend! Thanks for all your one-year-old Blogiversary and Happy 50th wishes you shared over the last few days. Friends like you? "That's what it's all about..." as the Hokey Pokey song says!
I've had lots o' good stuff happening lately (besides the couple of milestones), and I'm hoping the same for y'all. Here's the short list:
Received my contributor's copy of Christmas Traditions: True Stories that Celebrate the Spirit of the Season and a check. (Shoutin' out to Terri Tiffany whose story appears in the same anthology!)
Oldest son earned his Eagle Scout ranking, making his mom one proud old lady who's hoping to repeat the process with younger son next year.
Major major progress is being made on the building of our new website home and newsletter for Rose & Thorn Journal. Myself and Kat Magendie, author of Tender Graces and hard at work on her sequel Secret Graces, hope when we have our open house, you'll come check out the new digs for our shiny sweet literary journal. The fall issue will be out next month on the fifteenth! (**Major kudos to Team Toups for the webmastering and construction, and to Susan Kramer for the newsletter revamping!)
I'm gonna be guest posting at agent Rachelle Gardner's wildly popular blog. Wheee! Here's a bit of her announcement of the chosen twelve:
"A big thank you to the nearly 180 entrants in my guest blog contest! It wasn't easy, but I've finally had a chance to choose my Guest Bloggers for the rest of the year."So that's the scoopage from Gumbo Writer. May your week begin and continue in the same good vein. And since I'm on a roll...anybody wanna come tackle this mound of dirty clothes in the laundry room for me? Okay, well I love ya anyway! :D
