Change is good.

A little over a year ago, I published a list of rules for myself - basically a guideline of things I wanted to change about myself. (You can read the entire blog HERE ) Let's just say, I've never been very good at following directions, even my own. I'll break it down for ya ... original rules are in italics 1. The aforementioned rule of only eating at the dining room table (save for the special occasion of eating out with the family) This one was pretty much null and void when we moved to Tennessee, since we no longer have a large dining room table.

Writing has almost always been a passion of mine... I'm not including the spaces of time before I could read and write (although, I've always enjoyed stories), or moments of sleep deprivation via newborn babies, or the first several months of playing World of Warcraft when life was all about Azeroth. I've won a couple small awards for my writing in high school, and once had a college professor read my story "Silly Putty" in front of the whole class. THAT was a glorious moment, indeed... Thank you, Mrs. VanLear :) (Somewhere in a box of papers, said story still exists, and perhaps one day I'll find it and share) Years ago I began a writing project, which has since been molded and shaped into what will someday be a book - I hope. The idea popped into my head one day, during a " zen moment ", and the writing began straight away. In fact, during my mapping process for this story, I've spread what I have so far over the course of four books ..
