Woohoo! It's Friday! 

Do you have any fun plans this weekend? I think we're going to see the Muppet Movie. We ended up not going to the movies last weekend because Boy 2 got sick.

This week was kind of exciting on the writerly front.

I've entered Finding Meara in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards, and it made it into Round Two. It's just the first step, but being chosen out of 10,000 entries is pretty exciting, none the less. In Round One the book pitch was judged. In Round Two a 3,000 - 5,000 word excerpt is judged, and the contestants are whittled from 400 in each category to (I believe) 100. So, I'd appreciate any positive thoughts and energies and good luck you want to send my way!

If you're looking for free, quality poetry or a great free novel (wink, wink) this is the weekend for you!

Poetry - My editor, David Malone, is also an accomplished poet who even has had a twitter poem on National Public Radio's Tell Me More. He currently has his works up on his website, davemalone.net for free download. I love how his word choice evokes the sense of surreal nature with a twist.

Novel - Yeah, it's just me. I'm almost done with this go-round of Amazon Prime, and still have some free days to use up, so Finding Meara is going free this weekend. I marked it up to $3.99 several weeks ago, so if you can think of someone who might enjoy the story, this is the weekend to share the news!

Last week's favorite photo was:

Here's the new ones!

Only to be seen in shadow.

Yes, I would, because it took me close to a minute to find it when the picture was small.

Bill and Ted of the insect world.

They perform an important doggy service - demon removal. The dog in the pic above needs to come here.

All I could see for the longest time was the aliens with tiny antennae.

Our pun this week:

My favorite was the exorcism picture. Totally hit my funny bone.

What's your favorite?

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday once again! This was the longest (yet fast) week I've had in a while. I hope you all fared better.

One bit of good news this week was learning Amazon has added a new (I believe) category called "New Adult & College." I found this out by checking stats and Finding Meara had a brief time on the top 100 paid list in the category. This is good news because a New Adult category is really where the book belongs. It has adult themes, but a Young Adult feel and I've gotten reviews complaining either way (too YA to be adult or too adult to be written so YA.) So, hopefully the book will appear on the list again sometime.

I'd like to apologize for not replying to comments last week. I totally thought I had, and then realized mid-week I hadn't. Even with cutting back on my social media time, I struggle to keep up. Of course, when I'm not on the internet as much I seem to lose track easier than when I'm glued to the computer. But then no writing gets done, so I guess I'm still trying to find that balance. Yes, I'm rambling now.

Last week's funniest photo is:

And here's this week's!

Totally reminds me of the dance scene in Pulp Fiction. 

Actually, it happens when my husband drinks all the coffee and I only get one cup. Every. Night.

The bird looks like the Skeksis Chamberlin in the Dark Crystal after he has been plucked.

Reminds me of Boy 1 and Boy 2.

Oops. Hate it when that happens.

Can't decide if the picture is noble or sad.

The bacon dog is just cute.

And a pun:

I think I need to do this at work.

I hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing weekend. My list of things to do is basically write, clean, and maybe see a movie with the boys. Do you have anything fun planned?

My favorite photo this week is the Beluga Whale bump. What's yours?

Happy Friday!

I don't know about you, but a majority of my week was spent waking up like this:

I do not know why, but this week I was dragging. All. Week. Long.

Exciting Knitting News

I am very pleased to share that a friend of mine, Sarah Perkins, is a knitter and she designs her own knitting patterns. She is designing two shawl patterns based off the Adven Realm Series. Don't be thinking Granny Shawl. She makes beautiful, lacy creations (fingerless gloves, shawls, hats, mittens...)

The first shawl will center around the owl theme and the second will revolve around the fairy/pixie theme. When I have the book release for Adven 2 (I really, really need a working name) they'll be a part of the release day festivities. I'll keep you updated as Sarah progresses on them. So far, the direction she is taking the designs sounds extremely cool. Sarah has a page on Ravelry.com, a free knitting website, so if you're a knitter you can go over and check it out! Just search for her by name: Sarah Perkins.

What I learned this week:

I am a Facebook Quiz Addict. It is true.

Below I detail the priceless information gained by said quizzes.

If I were a Star Trek Character I'd be... Kirk! (Really? I guess I am emotional.)

If I were an Avenger I'd be... Black Widow! (Totally don't get this at all. But I'd be okay being Black Widow. Smart, sexy and kick-a$$. What more could a woman want to be.)

If I had a Patronus it would be a... Horse! (It said I'm an underrated bada$$!)

If I were a food I'd be... Cheese! (I've always felt I don't belong anywhere, but the quiz reframes it so nicely into the idea that I belong everywhere. I don't even mind being cheese.)

If I were a Shakespeare Character I'd be... Hamlet! (I get this even less than Black Widow.)

Yes, this is what I'm doing instead of writing. I am so sorry.

Last week's funniest photo is:

And here are this week's photos!

It's like one of those wavy line pictures from the 90's! If you're having trouble, the tongue is the rabbit's nose.

Can't decide if I'm jealous or having sympathy back pain.

Which is why I wear contacts. And my vision is much blurrier!

The other day I about broke off two fingers to get all the bags inside in one trip.

No caption needed.

I'm not a pretty crier. I'm not a pretty exerciser.

This made me laugh so hard I cried. Please, someone else tell me you understand and find it that funny.

That just makes me uncomfortable.

And our pun is:

While I die over the Joker/Pop Ice photo, I'd have to say my favorite is the two way looking pug. 

What's your favorite?

Have a fun, relaxing weekend!
