The cold smack of reality and laziness hit me and my blog was emptied for over a year!!
How dare she do this to me! Why did she leave so abruptly?
The truth is Life happened.
You would think being a military wife and stay at home mother would leave a plethora of time to sit at my computer and write a blog, but in fact it didn't. I became obsessed, completely scrapped my old novel and wrote a new one. (Well almost finished I should say) It started because of Nanowrimo. A couple friends of mine told me about the challenge and I dared to accept it! And guess what I achieved it and then some. 50,000 plus words were written within two weeks, and by the end of the month 60k or more was written on a novel that is nearly finished!
Its exciting and exhilarating all at the same time. I wrote as much as I could, and now that I am only a few chapters from completing it I wimped out on writing once again! A labor of love they call it. But alas it is not the novels fault that I strayed from my blog. Life reared its ugly head, and the big Monster of depression over took me, I couldn't focus on my book or a blog. The fear of losing the one I love while he fought over seas became too much and the only thing I could wrap my creative mind around was stupid Facebook games. DAMN YOU PIONEER TRAIL!!!!
So here I am almost a year later ready to try my hand at blogging once again. (UPDATE: The husband is back and safe. He did have some scares while he was over there. A couple of close calls that were too close for my own taste. Probably the reason I was such a stress case for awhile!)
What brought me back . . .
The A-Z Blogging challenge

So there you go . . . I'm back for another go and hopefully this time I can stick to it! Expect an Alphabetical Collaboration for the month of April and hopefully during this time I can grab some more followers and make some new friends. Good night all and happy Writing!
What's For Dinner: It was my husbands birthday so we went out to eat! Yummy Burgers at a local restaurant.
Kid Quote of the Day:
My son: Mommy I have a questionion (and yes it is misspelled for interpretation on how my son says the word question)
Me: Ok what is your question?
My son: I love you that is the question
Me: That is more of a statement than a question
My son: So what is a question?
Me: EXACTLY!
