New World Record for Me!

Great news today--Having Hope, which had been pushed to an April 2009 release date, is back at a March 2009 release date. Yippee! That means it will be out and in stores in time for Mother's Day. Let's cross our fingers that we see it in the Deseret Book Mother's Day catalog.

It's a personal first for me--I've posted two times in one month. Every now and then I remember I need to update my blog and put it off long enough to forget it. My husband suggested I schedule a time each week to update it. Eeeek! The pressure of it all! He entered a reminder in his Outlook to remind me to blog every Monday. Too late! Monday is already Presidency meeting and Laundry day. I'm all full up here.

Incentive to Blog: When your daughter starts a blog and has three comments within the first half hour. Hmmmm, maybe I'm going to have to blog more often. Maybe I'll have to give out my blog address to people!

New Blogs for Old Dogs

Being new to blogging this year, I'm not yet very good at it. When you combine new blogs with procrastination, you get very few posts and even less traffic.

I tell myself I have nothing interesting to say, so I put it off for another day. Then another day passes, the days turn to months, and you have an inactive blog.

Many of us think "You can't teach an old dog new tricks", but as I attended a writers' conference last weekend, it got this "old dog" pumped up to share things on my blog. We all have interesting things to say and shouldn't let us tell ourselves anything different!

It's summer! I just finished the rought draft of my second book "Having Hope"! I have a brand new grand baby! My mother-in-law is getting married in 10 days! We're taking our children to Disneyworld in August! There are lots of fun things to look forward to; and lots of twisted ways to look at them!

This old dog is going to blog more often! See you in the blogs!
