Woo-Hoo! I made it to 5:45 Jazzercise. Casey (Jazzercise instructor extraordinairre) graciously offered to call and roust me from my slumber due to my unfortunate tendency to hit the snooze button. What I found out, is that the anticipation of a phone call will keep me awake just as good as the … [Read more...]
Keep Those Headlights Up
Every Jazzercise instructor has their own stage personality, which is usually a revved up version of their regular personality. I (like probably every other Jazzerciser) like different things about each of them. Every Jazzercise instructor at the Taylors center (the best Jazzercise center ever) is … [Read more...]
Quicksand
Today I worked on chapter two of Lowcountry Boil. I decided to rewrite it in first person, but it's not from my protagonist's point of view. It's from her brother's. I worked on it for an hour or so, changed my mind and recopied the old version, changed my mind back and worked on it a little more, … [Read more...]
You Don’t Have to Call Me Darlin’

And, even though I have assured him that other red blooded American men--other husbands who have a heart-felt desire to share things with their wives--do … [Read more...]
Wow, Where Did That Week Go?
It's Friday already again. I feel like somebody stole a week from me. I didn't get everything done that I needed to...I want an extension!! I made it to Jazzercise three times this week and did not pass out a single time, although I thought I had for a minute in Wendy's class yesterday. Why is it … [Read more...]
Y’all Won’t Believe This
I have to tell y'all that the whole accountability thing is not working out so far. I thought I had set realistic goals yesterday, but not one thing on my radically scaled back list got done.I did not, in fact, decide what I would wear to church on Sunday, as I remembered that due to having come … [Read more...]
In The Beginning
So, last night halfway through Jazzercise, when Casey was holding forth about accountability and trying to sign us all up for 'Personal Touch' (which I absolutely cannot afford at my current rate of pay as an unpublished writer), I decided to create a blog. I figure, I can be accountable to my blog … [Read more...]
