Giving up...

2/21/2012

 
Update: I'm watching the protests in Greece. It doesn't look good for them, at least from my point of view. You can identify with how they feel, but I can't get these thoughts from my mind. Did they not get the government they deserve? When people realize they can vote themselves a raise, the destruction of the country can't be far away. It really is simple math--balance sheets, debits and credits. When there is more red than green, it becomes unsustainable. Yet, I feel for the people.  Imagine--a soup line in elementary schools.

Update: So, did you see where Anonymous has hacked the Greece Justice Department? Well they have. They've also put up a list of demands. Google it. Now, on a personal level, taking down a website doesn't take much skill. But to free the Greek people from debt?

Got your popcorn ready?

So I'm giving up upgrading my website for now. There were so many things I wanted to change and so many things I wanted to leave in that my frustration grew into a food -fest of frozen home-made chocolate cookies. The one food I obsess for when under stress. Not good for someone with Crohn's disease. 

To my fellow Cronies, I promise to be good today.

I want to invite you to meet some of my Crescent Moon author friends. They are such a great bunch that it's worth heading over to www.crescentmoonpress.com to check them out. You can also check out their websites here: (Some of them have some fantastic give-a-ways.)

I'm halfway through Shadow and I want to thank my editor. She is awesome. When you write, that old adage, you can't see the forest for the trees, really rings true. Like most authors, when I'm writing, the entire story is going through my mind in vivid color and is in 3D. I hear and see everything around me which sometimes makes me a little too detail oriented.  And since I know what my characters are thinking, sometimes I leave things out that are obvious to me, but are not obvious to the reader. 

My one goal in this life is to write a book that doesn't need an editor. 

Now that is one lofty goal, don't ya think? 

Happy reading everyone!

Hi, Louann. I follow your blog and I have Crohn's too. I know what you mean about those cookies. Ice cream too.
