Greetings, and welcome to my corner of the digital world where I reveal the inner workings of a wanna-be writer's life!

I published an inspirational book titled Battleground Earth - Living by Faith in a Pagan World in 2004. My first fiction novel, a young adult mystery titled Blurry, was published by Wings ePress in August 2011, and my second fiction novel titled Anywhere But Here will be published by Whiskey Creek Press in April 2012. For more on my writing (including free downloads), please visit my website at http://www.sherrithewriter.com/ . You can also check out "Introducing - Me!"

, which is an introduction/companion piece to this blog.

Don't be shy! Come in and see what we can learn on this journey called life ...

I agree with you on writers block because I have been living it for the past few months. I put that down to looking after a sick husband. Although now that I have joined this site and reviewing other peoples work I know it is time to remove the veil and once more let my creative juices. Good blogging!!

It's amazing the simple things that can really make us sit down and ponder life, and time... Sometimes we need time to be able to ponder things, because over time, the good equals out the bad, and in the end it changes us. If we looked at a shorter period of time then the equalization of good and bad wouldn't be there and our perspective on life would be skewed.

It's great that you got to talk with a friend via email, and I'm so happy that you've been able to do what you have in the last 2 years.

I hope you have a great weekend!

I COMPLETELY agree with you about a slower pace in life. It's easier to see the bigger picture and then focus in on what needs to be done one or two things at a time instead of having life just be a huge platter that is overflowing with things that need to get done. I started changing late last year and it's been slow since life has thrown me some lemons, but the changes in outlook are SOOO worth it. So glad you are seeing a positive impact in your life from this!

I bought into the slower lifestyle years ago. I purposely slowed down on many things and refuse to let busy things into my life. Everything is so hectic that it creates a horrible stress on us. Would I be farther along in life had I done things differently, probably, but I read somewhere that life isn't about the destination, but the journey. We are all going to the same place in the end. The grave....knowing that I want to enjoy the view and the rides on the way.

I think you will find a way to simplify and still get the most out of your life. Keep trying.

Hugs

Those who pass on to the final sleep are finally at peace. We who stay behind are the ones that suffer. We miss those who are gone and we can't visit any more.

I am sorry for your loss.

Be well.

I'm here, right? Why not drop in and say hello.

Today was just another day in the neighborhood. I put the first coat of stain on Granddaddy's table. It's a bit darker than I had in mind, but I think it's going to look good. We also did a little work in the yard and went out to supper. Nothing major, but that's ok.

I thought it was supposed to rain today, but it didn't. I suppose it worked out for the best because we got stuff done, but we sure do need the rain.

Well, I'm off. I have church in the morning, then groceries and I might put another coat of stain on that table tomorrow afternoon.

Enjoy your weekend!

Bye!
