The Bright Side

If you've noticed a drop in posting frequency lately it's because the last couple weeks have been professionally challenging on pretty much every level.  Were I to post on that, I'm afraid it would amount to whining which would not make for entertaining or enlightening reading!, so I have elected to spare you :)  You may thank me with donations of chocolate :)

Anyone who writes will tell you the writing life has its ups and downs.  I feel it's important to look on the bright side, especially when discouragement is rearing its ugly head.  So here are 2 bright sides, and they are very bright :)  First, I got a lovely thank you note from a school I visited.  That was very nice.

And second, Beer is zo moe! is printing - very exciting!  Check it out:

A sheet of covers!

So, there.  To discouragement I say, "Begone!"

And to myself I say, "Butt in chair."  Didn't someone say something along the lines of 99% of success in writing is just showing up?
