WHERE IT LEADS....DO I FOLLOW?

Ok so I've decided to try posting a new blog on every odd numbered day which means that sometimes there will be posts two days in a row.  I guess I should have said even days then sometimes I'd get a two day break!  Oh well, I'll stick with my original plan for now.

This blog is still evolving and I'm not sure what it will end up being.  It is mostly for me of course but maybe it will garner some attention and I can meet people within the community also.

I have this urge to write lately but not fiction yet.  I've been working on this blog and getting it connected to twitter and Facebook so you can all join me there too if you like.  I did sign up for tumblr but just lurking there for now trying to get a feel for things.  I guess out of all of them, Facebook is the one I'm most familiar with so it is the one I am most active with both as a page and for my personal account.  Twitter on the other hand, intimidates me.  It always has.  My singing persona uses it to post for her shows but otherwise has not gotten involved in the twitter community.

I need to find a site that walks you through it step by step.  One day we do one step... sending our own tweet maybe.  Then the next day we learn about retweeting.  The following day hash tags and so forth.

I have also started another blog that is private between me and my Daddy.  I write him a letter every day there.  Now to just get him involved.  He has been so busy he hasn't even had time to make an account to sign in yet.  I'm hoping soon.  Until then I keep writing but if he takes too long, he'd better bring chocolate!

Great Advice

I have a few others scattered around the web.  One for my performing and one for my writing.  There are even a few that I had started years ago that got lost along the way due to life circumstances.

I am hoping 2014 brings more organization and clarity to what I do.  I'd like to keep up the blogs I have.  Learn to use the other social media sites better and be at ease with them.  I also need to finish my novel.  It's done but needs a rewrite now.  Also would like to do the first two stories in a trilogy I have planned.  They will be short stories for sale as eBooks before I get my novel out there. I really need to just buckle down and do them.

So we will see how this turns out and what direction it eventually takes.  I know I tend to whine and ruminate more in this blog.  I'm not my usual witty self.  Maybe I need another that is more frivolous.  Something to think about I guess.

Thank you to those who are coming along for the ride.  I hope to see you often.

It is late and I'm expecting Daddy to call in a couple hours so....

Smoochie blows you all a kiss!  MWAHHH!

PRE NEW YEARS PLANNING

The New Year is coming up and I'm gearing up to be more productive. I hate making New Years resolutions because if I don't meet them, I feel defeated. I do try to plan to be better and hope that at least some of the new habits will stick.

 I am trying to get my blogs set up right. Linked to social media, twitter accounts set up and getting to look how I want them too. I've finally connected this one to my new Facebook Page and Twitter. I need to learn how to get in the swing of Twitter. I am a little intimidated by it and the "rules".

 I run a number of blogs, Twitter, and FB Pages. Some for personal - family stuff, some for business stuff, and then some for MY personal stuff (like this one). It is hard to keep up with them all.

 I am not an organized person by any means. So I am trying to find a way to keep on top of things. I'm trying out different apps to keep me connected to all my accounts. I will have to make out a loose schedule on what I should be doing on which days so at least I get the minimum done and all my places get updated regularly. I also need to find either a part time job or more work online. I have write the first two books of my trilogy and finish up my novel. I am looking to get into recording audiobooks and also hoping to do something with my music this year.

 My problem is ... I'm a little and easily distracted. I also will pick fun over boring anytime. Not a good thing. I am good about deadlines and getting things done if I have them. Only ones given by others though. My self imposed deadlines tend to get ignored or pushed back.

 I recently moved and we feel as if we are starting a new life and as such, I am trying to keep on top of things. So it's going fairly well, not perfect but better.

 Daddy H and I have been doing well since our fight on Christmas. He is making more of an effort to stay connected and keep me in the loop. He is being more loving and not so short tempered. He works such long hours that he gets cranky and can be harsher than intended. I am learning to be more patient and trusting. To learn that sometimes to serve him means I can't talk to him or see him as much as I'd like. If he's busy or out in the field then He will try but it is not always possible for him to answer every time. It doesn't mean I don't bug him. His messenger is filled with "Daddy! Daddy daddy daddy!!!! DAAAADDDDDDYYYY!!!" It just means that I don't pout and throw a fit when he doesn't answer.

Yeah...like that

 

Another thing I want to start doing is spending time visiting blogs, both the ones I follow and new ones and making comments more often. Showing how much I do enjoy what they share. Learn to be part of a community again.

When the kids go back to school, I can stop taking unplanned grown up breaks to break up fights and referee disagreements too.  That will leave me more time to be productive and I'll be less distracted..  Maybe.  Maybe not.

I guess I'd better get more work done.

Smoochie says to have a great evening!
