20 Books I'll Never Write

Hello friends!

I’ve had some terrific guest posters recently and been spoiled.  If you haven’t read their posts yet, take a few minutes to read Have A Dog and The Benefits Of Reading As A Third Culture Kid.

Since I last blogged, three weeks ago, I’ve had a bump in my road in the form of some breakthrough symptoms of depression.  I’m proud of myself for recognizing what was happening right away and I’m actively implementing cognitive/behavioral strategies.  I also contacted my healthcare provider and she increased my anti-depressant dosage. Between those two strategies and the loving support of my husband, family and friends, I am already beginning to feel better.

For me, one of the ways depression expresses itself is through a sharp decline in words, verbal and written.  This means I’ve fallen behind on Magic Within, but I am still aiming for, and hoping to achieve, a November release date.  As the novel progresses and the date approaches, I’ll keep everyone apprised.

Meanwhile, I’m funneling most of my words into Magic Within and will keep this post short.

Even when it’s moving like chilled molasses, my brain does like to entertain me.  I often find myself chuckling over odd bits and pieces that seem like they’d make terrific book titles.  I’ve been keeping a list of these and hope they give you a grin!
