Happy Thanksgiving!

May your day be blessed and full of joy. And food, of course. Lots of food.

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for YOU, my three faithful readers. :-)

LOVE This

Long time, no talk. I know. It's sad. I've been busy over at http://www.tandjbooks.com/, though. And on various blogs. All except my own, poor little ramblings blog. Have you missed me?

My life has changed a bit in the past couple of months. I'm working a lot more. I'm trying to promote Bliss. I'm hatching some new stories in order to pursue some opportunities that have arisen. Lots of stuff going on.

And now that I'm back for however long, you're expecting a profound something from me, aren't you? Something funny or brilliant or deeply thought-provoking.

Yeah, I'm not coming up with anything. So until I finally post my gushing Thanksgiving thoughts and thank yous, I'm going to point you to another blog called Life In The Fun Lane. Because this idea is just totally stinkin' awesome. :-)

Come on. Admit it! It's great! But then, you might not have quite as much of a word fetish as me, eh? ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving prep! Are you going to be decorating your tree over the weekend? I just might have to run and pick up a newspaper...

Happy Authors' Day!

The lovely president of ACFW, Cynthia Ruchti, tweeted about ways to celebrate National Authors' Day. With permission, I'm sharing her suggestions here. :-) Have fun!

1. Hug a bookshelf and thank the Lord for the authors who wrote so you could read.

2. Go to the author's publisher's website and leave a comment about a favorite book.

3. Write a note (the handwritten kind) to three favorite authors...and let them know you're praying for them.

4. Look at Christmas list. Cross off silly things. Substitute with books. Purchase immediately! :)

5. Enjoyed an author's book? Buy one for a friend...and let the author know why you did.

6. Moved by something an author DID in addition to what he/she wrote? Say so.

7. Stop in at your local bookstore just to say, "My favorite authors are..." and thank the retailer for stocking their books.

8. Spend some time alone with the Author and Finisher of our faith.

9. Tell an author, "I'm someone who knows it's a 'real' job. Thanks!"

10. Defy procrastination! Post a review in a prominent spot(s). Your fave author will be grateful you did!

11. Some author you know is fighting discouragement in writing, family, or career. Make a difference. Pray.
