So I had coffee with one of my best friends this afternoon and the conversation briefly came to the topic of blogs. I did a mental palm thump to the forehead as I realized that I have not made any posts in quite a few months. So here I am.
Updates....
Still off work because of my wrist. My physical therapy appointment yesterday was a let down and relief at the same time. My doctor had be start that up again six weeks ago. The last several appointments have taken me two to three days to recover. Not a good sign. So my therapist has written a report to my doctor, which I will see next week. So for the second time I have had to quit therapy because its only causing me more pain. The most frustrating thing is that I have all this pain but there's no medical tests/proof that something is wrong. I HATE IT!!!! We'll see what my doctor will say next.
All of my time has been spent working on my novel and peer reviewing on a writer's site. I needed this so much. After spending so much time working and reading my own novel, I new I was missing something. And everyone has been great about giving me feedback--something I've been starving for. My two big problems: POV hopping in scenes and redundancy. Now that I know these two things, I think that my story has been tightening up very nicely. I'm excited!
But the biggest news that's driving me is the fact that I've signed up for a writer's convention for the end of next month. I get to speak with an agent and an editor. (That is what all my attention to my writing is for). I still have every hope that soon I will pick up an agent. And by the end of the year I have a publishing house who wants to sign me. We will see how everything turns out. But the one thing that I steadfastly believe is that without "soon" goals, they will never be reached. So I'm shooting for the "soon".
The only excitement I've had in my personal life is the fact that some strange man approached my in a Fred Meyer parking lot as I was getting into my car. The weather was nice, so my window was cracked. But the moment I saw him heading to me, I put my key in the ignition and started my engine. Which was a good thing. The guy actually had the balls to shove his hand through my window to shake my hand while he introduced himself. In freaky situations like this I have no problem lying and telling men that I'm seeing someone. I can be nice and it gives him an easy out--no one has hurt feelings. Not this guy. He shoved his hand through my window again!!!! This time to give me his business card, "in case you change your mind." What was going through his mind?!!! He broke so many rules. 1) NEVER invade the safety of a woman's car. 2) NEVER move in on another man's woman--unless you want her to think that you have little opinion of relationships! (Even if it's an imaginary relationship.) The other rules don't matter because those two are cardinal rules. On the plus side, I do have to give him a point for persistence. But the freakiness factor wins out!!!!
I've had the relapse a thought that I had years ago. I think it would be fun to hit the matchmaking festival in Ireland. If nothing else, it would prove to be some great entertainment. Besides, at least then you're like 99% sure that they are NOT married, but want to be married. Oh well.... Who said life was boring????
