You know, I think that positive thinking stuff is working! I received an email back from an editor on an invite to the Emerald City Writers’ Conference. Before opening it, I started to think…it’ll be a no. I then shifted my thoughts to…it’ll be a yes…and it was a yes! :) So lookey there, it worked! ;) I’m pretty excited about our line up! So I’m sending subliminal messages–or not so subliminal. Come to Seattle in October, everyone!!
The novella I’m working on slowed a bit this week due to Tempting Adam edits (which I just saw the possible cover, and I’m excited!!) and some chapter business. I really think being chapter president is a bit like having a full time job. But you know, I love to be busy and have a challenge–so I do well.
And now that my minor surgery has healed and the stitches are out, I’m back to working out again. Wow, I can’t tell you how much I missed it. I am going to be healthy. And going to lose weight. And I’m EXCITED about it.
Okay, and now I’ll leave you with a quote that I found that’s just rocking my overall perspective. Life. Writing. Health. Hopefully it strikes a chord with you ;)
“There are only 2 choices; make progress or make excuses.” - Ellen Mikesell”
Have a fabulous weekend, everyone!
(this hottie pic is for you Feisty)



Congrats on your yes! And have a great weekend!
Hurray for thinking positively! Here are two of my favorite quotes (to be dusted off whenever I ignore writing in favor of grading):
“The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.” (Author Unknown)
“Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.” (Josh Billings)
Hi Shelli,
I really want to come to the Emerald City conference this year. I mean I really don’t have any excuses since I live so close. So, yes, I’m coming!
You sound really upbeat and positive right now, and I really needed a dose of that. Thank you!!
Oh, and I think your curly hair is way sexy.
xoxo
