Ultimately, I've taken an unintentional summer break from blogging. It's not that I haven't been writing. I have...just not on here. As many of you know I've been researching and writing my first novel. It's a historical fiction AND if I hunker down and write faithfully, I think I can finish by September 1. If I stay within that time frame, I'm hoping to be well on my way to having a completed, edited piece ready for self publication...or with a publisher. Whichever comes first.
Of course this means I'm waaaay behind on my monthly blog candy drawings (which I love to do). I miss it because it means I'm not connecting with all of you lovelies who happen to live all over the place. Blogging does this for me. Which is why I'll be back. AND while my promise to let one of my readers get a sneak peek of my work is a little late, it will be worth the wait.
So...this means I'm signing off (officially) of blogging and Facebook until September 1. At which time, I'll unveil my work and hold a blog candy drawing. Also coming in September is a super sweet INTERNATIONAL blog candy surprise. I promise it will be good.
In the meantime, here's a little glimpse of the destruction we've experienced during the beginnings of Florida Hurricane Season. We'll call this storm 'Bruiser', affectionately named by a very articulate friend. Bruiser is the nearly two-year old tropical storm formerly known as Ruby.
Behold
She was quiet for way too long. After several hours of searching and reattaching, we were able to locate every key except one. The colon/semi-colon key...I'd type it but it doesn't work.
He-Man still isn't laughing yet.
After the kids went to bed we, once again, got on our hands and knees and scoured our bedroom for the missing colon. Inevitably, the conversation quickly deteriorated as we started making sick jokes about our missing colon. We sounded like two eighth graders making dorky jokes about human anatomy.
Here's the worst of 'em
Meet Stew (sick, I know. I felt so clever coming up with that one). He's the neutered Anatomy model we use for school. (well, mostly neutered. He has an Adam's Apple)
Stew's got a colon. I think we'll borrow his...
Happy August, everyone! I'll see you on the 1st!

One of our laptops met that same fate! At least you guys were able to locate most of the pieces, we gave up, that lap top is no longer. Thanks for sharing about Stew.
My baby has done that exact same thing, several times! She is the reason I have to type my "c" and hit my caps lock on the little rubber knob that's left :) The keys still work, but it's a little awkward...
Oh man! Kids get into everything, huh!? I hope you can find your colon soon... =)
That picture makes me want to cry!!! But I am so excited for your book! September 1 is really soon, you brave woman. I wish you lots of quiet writing time!
Can't wait to hear more about the book.
Happy Writing!
I haven't laughed so hard all week!!! Thank you!!!
Good luck finding your colon.
(So...does this mean you've had a colonoscopy?)
Best of luck on your manuscript! Someday, we'll all be able to say we know a famous author! Hugs!
good luck!!!
