I am over at the  CowboyKisses blog  today with a post that is apropos for national heart month.  Cowboy Kisses on  Facebook

I'm skipping February's IWSG.  See you next month!

  This is my   Insecure Writers Support Group   post for January 2023. Alex's awesome co-hosts this month  are:  Jemima Pett,   Debs Carey ,   Kim Lajevardi,   Sarah Foster,   Natalie Aguirre,  &   T. Powell Coltrin Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  💻💻💻💻💻 January 4 question - Do you have a word of the year? Is there one word that sums up what you need to work on or change in the coming year? What is your word for 2023 & why? There are several, but if I have to choose one, it would be SUCCESS. And not in the way you might think.  Sure, I want to be successful at writing and selling books, but that's only one part.  I want to be successful at other things, too.  I want to stick to my diet and see results.  I want to spend more time with family, and not keep putting it off. I want to get plugged into church, even though my job requires working every other weekend. (Gonna have to think...

I am taking a break from IWSG this month. See you next year. For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  - Isaiah 9:6 Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤

Our new rescue cat, Poe, has made himself at home under our tree.  Can you find him? Poe has an easy gift idea. This is one of those buy-it-in-your-PJs kind of gifts. Amazon chose  COME BACK  for a month-long December Kindle deal. They cut the price in half!  Now's a good time to buy it for yourself, if you haven't read it, and gift a copy to the romance readers in your life. A kindle book is one of the easiest gifts to give. And it won't be opened before Christmas unless you want it to be. Stay safe and warm this holiday season!

  This is my   Insecure Writers Support Group   post for November 2022. Alex's awesome co-hosts this month  are:  Diedre Knight,   Douglas Thomas Greening,   Nick Wilford,   and  Diane Burton! Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  💻💻💻💻💻 November 2nd question - November is National Novel Writing Month. Have you ever participated? If not, why not? Nope. I'm one of those authors who wishes NaNoWriMo participants well then disappears for the rest of November.  Why? I work full time in addition to my writing. And,  because of the holidays,  November and December are two of the busiest months of the year. There's just no way I could squeeze in writing a novel, so I don't even try. Honestly, I often shake my head at whomever chose November for this. Maybe it's because the kids are finally settled into school, and the weather is turning too cold (up north, at least) to be outside much, but I don't get it.  I mi...
