Gosh, today has been a bust. Why? because I've caught a cold! A really bad one, too. My nose is clogged, my ears feel stuffed, my throat hurts, and I can't sing! You can't hear it, but if you've seen the show, Barney cannot sing! and everyone else just pretends that it's fine. Until it's not. Huh! I didn't know I could sound like a whale with a stomach ache! And don't get me started on my violin. I've got this stupid "bow straight" equipment that it suppose to help make me sound better. BUT IT DOESN'T! unless I am TRYING to squeak terribly! Anyway, besides all that, I actually got a critiquing group to help me with my writing group. Today I am going to do some critiquing and things will get better. Right? Right??

And now...for the moment everybody but most likely nobody has been waiting for...a review of 2018!! 1) What major events happened to you in 2018? Hmm. Well, I went to Front Sight with my sisters! 2) Did you experience any distressing life changes? That's not a nice question. Let's skip. Next one up, please. Let's go! 3) Anything make you cry tears of joy? I got a small typing computer for Christmas! and I got accepted into a publishing group...but they were a scam. Uh, what else... sorry folks. I can't really remember crying tears of joy... 4) Did you achieve anything great? *Glances over eyeglasses* explain "great". 5) Were there things you would've done differently? Um, I would rather have NOT cried so much. Oh, and been so angry. And failing to be a better sport with things. and I know this doesn't apply to this question, but Doctor Who is now officially crap. I mean, turning a man who's been a MAN for over ...

            Oh my goodness people! I have the best little sister in the world.     So, my writing Journey has been quite a stressful thing for me. Which is very sad, because being an author is the biggest dream of my life. There is so many things to do,  before my books can even be looked at. There are Critiques that need asking for help, Agents for getting my work Publish Worthy, and then even MORE work goes into getting published!!!       And on top of all that, I need a couple dozen query letters and writing exercises before this thing can take off!   What's going on here?? so of course I was very grieved and unhappy. I sat in my couch and wondered if I should even do this at all! but then my best friend came along, took me by the hand, and pulled me back up. she showed me that I should never give up and together we made my very own Writer's nook! ...

"We will never be friends," Jack scoffed. "Yep," Jeffery sighed. "not in your life." Aaaand she's back! go ahead. Gasp. shout. do  something.  It is alright to say that I have been a terrible blogger of 2018. Like, really bad. and most of my posts were full of unicorns, ponies, and fairies.  Don't ask why. I just have no life, okay? The truth is that I actually am trying to do other things now. I know, right? believe it or not, this post is going to shiver your timbers. It's:  #1: not about  Dragon and Martin #2: Not about my publishing Dragon and Martin and #3....it's all about NEW books! completely! I feel like this year is going to be new for me. 2018 was a healing year for the most part. I struggled with alot of things and often fear the worst of myself. But I have this brilliant family whom I really should be more thankful for! they take care of sad people, help those in need, and stick together like glue....
