Though I am a girl, I don't often
scream like one. But lately, I've done so a few times. I'm not
suddenly going all girlie girl on y'all, it's just that I've had some
things that I'm excited about lately.
-TOMATOES!! (or toe-mah-toes if you're
fancified)
Yeah, that's right. I'm excited that
I've been able to pick the first few tomatoes from my little garden.
Our yard isn't really suitable for
growing much and we're busy folks so we decided to go with just a few
tomato and bell pepper plants. There's something about the taste of
a home-grown tomato that is soooo different and so much better than a
store bought tomato. Ever since we put those little plants into the
ground, I've been looking forward to biting into one as if it were an
apple.
Mmmmmmm, tomatoes.
-No content writing for a few weeks!
Content writing is in a serious slump
right now. Career content writers are certainly feeling the pinch, including me.
But it's an opportunity many will use to branch into different
directions which is something I'm definitely taking advantage of.
Although web writing is something I've been doing for a few years, I
can't say that I entirely enjoy it, especially with the struggle I
and several other writers have had lately. So I'm excited and
blessed that I have a bit of editing work coming my way from some
talented authors to pick up that pay slump.
-The print proof of The Influence
came in!
When the package came in and I
expressed my delight as I started to rip into it, the hubs decided
he'd tease me with a little game of "keep the package away from
Pamela" to which I threatened him with a little "keep away"
of my own. The package quickly returned to my hands.
So I got my first look at my debut
novel in print and it was every bit as joyful as I imagined. Seeing
my name on the cover, seeing my picture in the back, flipping the
pages to see my words inside... it's a feeling of
accomplishment that's hard to compare. And I know this is the first
of many.
So all the pain and sickness that I've
dealt with over the last few weeks is starting to really meld into
something positive. I'm glad. I'm not sure how much more I could've
tolerated.
Peace, love, and well-being,
Pamela
Either that's a really small tomato, or you have really large hands!
ReplyDeleteROFL! The tomatoes are small because things just don't grow very well in our yard. We'd have to really spend some time and money building a box garden if we wanted anything more.
