Desperate Hearts Video on Youtube,,,,,,,
Hi friends,
Make sure to drop by youtube and take a peek at my "Desperate Hearts" video....

The meaning of the word "Saturday": Saturday is the last (seventh) day of the week on many calendars and in conventions that consider the week as beginning on Sunday, or the sixth day of the week according to international standard ISO 8601 which was first published in 1988.
Saturday was named no later than the 2nd century for the planet Saturn, which controlled the first hour of that day according to Vettius Valens. Its Latin name dies Saturni ("Saturn's Day") entered into Old English as Sæternesdæg.
Have a great day,,,

Lady Di's letters
I suppose there was a time when we could write a letter to our friends and expect them to remain private. And in most cases they would. However, when you are a person like Lady Di, you should expect privacy will eventually fly out the window. I have to wonder, if Lady Di were still alive today, would her long time friend, Margaret Hodge, sell her out?
Writing ones thoughts, or stories really is such a private thing. But in reality, everything we write down on paper is up for grabs. Unless you keep it locked away in your head.
If Lady Di had lived, I wonder if she would have written a book. Maybe her memoirs, or the story of her life. If she had, it would most certainly have been made into a movie. A real movie, not one conjured up in someones imagination or taken from the words of someone who thought they knew her best.
I wonder,,,, would Lady Di have wanted her private letters sold if it meant an easier life for her friend? Would she have understood?
Have fun writing today,, summer is here,, yeah,,,,

What's Up With "Game Of Thrones"
Are you serious???? What the hey????? They really, really killed him????
Ok, so they get us hooked and make us fall in love with Sean Bean as "Eddard Stark" and then KILL him,,, what's up with that? Needless to say, I'm disappointed. BUT, I will still watch my second favorite series. You gotta admit that Emilia Clarke is just fabulous as Daenerys Targaryen. My first favorite series is course "True Blood" cant wait for the new season..
Have a nice night,
What's On Your Bucket List???
It's amazing how many bucket lists are out there? Have you written yours? What are you waiting for?
A bucket list does not mean you are ready to pack it all in and die. It's really just means for us to put down on paper what we would like to achieve before we "Kick The Bucket". So go ahead.....Book that trip.
Volunteer.
Start a business.
Write your book.
Do something NOW! Don't wait....
Make your Bucket List – Then do 1 thing.
Then the next.
Then the next.

Why not me?
Do you ever wonder why you weren't invited?
I think we all must have asked ourselves that question. Some event comes up that excites us, and we wait in anticipation for the big invite that never comes. Disappointment takes over our emotions, and then anger develops as we wonder why we were left out. And we ask,,, why not me?
I think as authors, we have all dealt with this in one way or another. We submit our query letters and we wait. Then when the invitation to submit our manuscript does not come, we feel let down.
An invitation to a party we just knew we should have been invited to, is about the same as an invitation to submit our work to an editor. The disappointments are the same and the rejection is the same. But god love us all, we are strong. One rejection, whether it be from that long awaited party, wedding, baby-shower, or manuscript,,,, should not rule our day.
Get up, get dressed, write-write-write,,, and have a great day...............
