THIS TIME I DANCE! , Tama J. Kieves

Tama J. Kieves is a "Harvard lawyer (who) left it all to have it all."

This is a fabulous book that I often go to when I need help with my insecurities and lack of confidence.

Tama walked away from her high income career with a New York law firm, to wait tables and explore her writing.

You can read Tama's free transformational guide on “Finding Your Calling Now” by going to her website at:

TITLE OF MY BOOK

For those of you that don't already know.....here is the title of the book I'm writing:

"That Crowbar Changed Everything!
.....Memories & Reflections"

It's part memoir and part observations of the world around me.

Please leave a comment and let me know if the title piques your interest!

FABULOUS SLWG PRESENTATION TODAY

I ATTENDED A WONDERFUL ST. LOUIS WRITERS GUILD PRESENTATION TODAY. PUBLISHED AUTHOR, BARRI BUMGARNER, GAVE US A MULTITUDE OF TIPS ON HOW TO MARKET OURSELVES AND OUR BOOKS, ESPECIALLY ON A SMALL BUDGET. EVEN THOUGH I KNEW ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS SHE SPOKE OF, I LEARNED A GREAT DEAL, TOO. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET GOING ON MANY OF THEM!

PUTTING ANTHOLOGY ON BACK BURNER FOR NOW.

After receiving various comments about the title of my anthology, I've decided to put it on the back burner for now. Even though I still think it was a funny and catchy title, I realize it didn't come across the way I intended.

I hope no one was offended by it, because that was certainly not what I had in mind from the very beginning. It was just meant to be humorous and I thought 99% of women (those of us who aren't Twiggy thin) could laugh and relate to it.

So, I'll be focusing on what I really want to do anyway.......Get my memoir written, put together and published!

TIME TO WRITE!!


Hey writers! I've just come across a fabulous book. It's called TIME TO WRITE, by Kelly L. Stone. It's full of great advice on how to make time in your life to write, etc. I've "thumbed through" and read quite a few books on this same subject, but none hit me the way this one did! It's full of wonderful tips from various professional writers. I'm truly inspired with every page I read!

OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Yesterday, February 11th, was our wedding anniversary. Ron and I have been married for 26 years!! Wow!!

In honor of that, and also because Valentine's Day is so near, I received a beautiful glass vase of mixed flowers, some of which are red roses and red carnations! And the card read: " Happy Valenversary!" ....That's my Ron!

We'll be going out to dinner on Friday, to celebrate both occasions, too.
