Fresh Start!

So upon looking at a spreadsheet I made to track our monthly spending, I realized we can save $13 a month if I canceled my homemade website. I've had that website since 2006, and to be honest, it was a selfish thing to have. Sure, maybe about 10 people have stumbled across it over the years and bought my book as a result, but really, it was a stagnant piece of nothing that was an excuse for me not to market my book. Since I had the website, I felt that was enough marketing, when in reality, it was next to doing nothing. This blog is a fresh start--an active way for me to get my first book out there even more and a way to find a publisher for my second book.

I have one more week left of the semester, so I have the whole summer to finish up (well, really, START) writing my book. I have a lot of written in my head. I just need more than a half hour here and there to get it on paper, and I'm so excited to dig in!

Today is Mother's Day, and Trey got me the best gift ever--take a look at the photo. My nickname is Birdie and I love coffee. Perfect. The other part of my gift that is still happening is that Cecelia has been napping for almost 3 hours, so I got to drink coffee in bed from my bird cup and read "Of Mice and Men." It, officially, has been a great day.
