Guardian Angels, is finished! Time for a fresh story :)

Time for another story. Today I finished Guardian Angels Book One. It's available for pre-order on Smashwords and in a day or so, it will also be available on Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. So, I'm satisfied.

Even though the story that I'm working on right now has a title, I'm not sure if I keep it that way. This book will be a stand-alone; it won't be a part of a series.

I am in doubt whether I will write a Christmas story or not because if I would write one, then it would put me under a lot of stress. And that's not really an option.

Right now, I'll continue with my new story. Today the characters will be created. It takes time to that because I need to make them so that I can picture- and get to know them.

As a writer, I have to connect with the characters of my story. Without a bond with the characters, there's no way I could finish a novel.

Have a great weekend y'all!

A little R & R

Time to write, and time to relax because it goes hand in hand, well, for me anyway. Hubby and I are camping for a week, and it's beautiful here. There's lots of shade, and with the brightly shining sun, we need it. Right now, I'm sitting outside in the shade and busy myself with some Sudoku. I love to solve all kinds of puzzles. It relaxes me, just like reading and writing does.

I hope to finish Guardian Angel by the end of this week. Then, I'll start with editing, which will take me at least about ten days. So, I hope to get Guardian Angels up for pre-order on Sept 8th. After that, I'm traveling to my beloved Italy and will stay for two weeks.

While in Italy I will concentrate on a Christmas story. First, I thought about Christmas Miracles book two or The Wentworth Pack book three, but now I'm not sure what to do. Ah, well, it'll come to me when the time is right, it always does.

Have a good week y'all!

Lazy Sunday.

Even though it's Sunday, I rose early because Emma, my rescue doggie from Portugal, needs her first eyedrops at 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. She has two kinds of eye drops which she will need for the rest of her life.

Right now, I'm sitting on the couch with the laptop on my lap and working on Guardian Angels Book One. Both dogs are lying beside me, and that's just the way I like it. I've reached the 50.000 words, and that means that I need to write at least another 10.000. Plus I still need to write the summary, but that won't be a problem.

It's raining, and God knows that we need it. The creek that runs through the village is still not on its average level. So, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.

Have a great Sunday, y'all!

Soon Available for Pre-order!

I'm still working on it, but Guardian Angels is almost finished.

Life!

It seems that as of today, my life is back on track again. Losing one of my dearest friends was very hard, and it made me think about my life and the future.

I'm trying to make the best of every day, but that doesn't always work. However, the mild depression that visited me two weeks ago is slowly moving on. I feel better with each day that passes. Now I'm able to concentrate on writing stories once again.

I don't like it that Guardian Angels is delayed for at least two weeks, but that's how it is, and I dealt with it because it's something that I can't change. After the Guardian Angels' story is finished, I will work on a Christmas story.

I found out that I need time to write and finish a book, rather than force myself to write and finish quickly.

Have a great weekend y'all!

Just another day!

Writing is going well again. Collin and Matthew's story is progressing, and I'm happy about that. I will have lots of time to continue writing because Emma, my rescue, is getting her eye operation on Friday. That means that my schedule is cleared for at least three days. I'll be on the couch beside my little doggie, and that will give me time to watch her and continue writing at the same time.

Hubby has cleared his schedule for tomorrow because I need him to drive Emma en me back from the clinic. Hubby drives, so I can sit in the back and keep Emma calm. I think that after her operation, Emma has to wear an Elizabethan collar, and that frightens her to no end. So, that's the reason that I will sit with her in the back of the car.

I need to prevent her from getting a panic attack because she will fight to get that damn collar of off her neck. Emma is a small dog, but she is very feisty.

If all goes well, then Emma will get her sight back as soon as next week. I read a lot about cataract operations. I always read a lot about things that I know nothing about, so I can prepare for what's to come.

My next story, "Guardian Angels," will hopefully be ready for publication at the beginning of September. This week I started making notes for the book I'm going to write about my rescue dog, Emma. Plus more notes for a new story.

That's it for now! Have a great day y'all!

Much better :)

Goodmorning from Germany. So far, my day is perfect. My books are selling, hubby made breakfast, croissants, and scrambled eggs, and right now, he is walking the dogs. Today will be all about writing. I feel good again, even though I miss my friend. But I will always miss her, no matter what so, I'll better get used to that.

I hope to make a lot of progress on writing Guardian Angels. I won't try to make up for the lost weeks because that would cause unnecessary stress. And that would lead to a temporary writer's block.

Hubby and I will have a beautiful, quiet Sunday, just the way that I like it.

Have a nice day, y'all!

The last farewell :(

I think that it's time for a new blog. On August 3rd, I wrote the last one because I wasn't capable of writing anything while my best friend was dying.

On August 4th, she started her final journey to wherever it is that souls travel to.  I don't believe in God, but I do think that there is more between heaven and earth. So, I know that my friend is in the best place because she was a good human being. She never turned away from those in need. She was kind and generous. She was my best friend!

On August 9th, I said my final farewell. And right now I feel pretty empty inside. I will be alright again, but it needs time, and that's perfectly normal.

Today I started writing again. Well, I try, anyway. As all of you surely can understand, the release of Guardian Angels will be postponed, for at least two weeks. So I hope to release the book around September 14th. Maybe sooner, but probably not.

The main thing now is for me to feel good again because that's what my friend would want for me.

So, it's time to move on and live my life, and make the best of it, every single day.

All goes well! Almost, but not really!

Is it Saturday already? WOW time flies if you're having fun. Writing goes as expected. I'm still behind on schedule, but there's nothing I can do about that now. Time is running out for my friend, who has cancer. She is terminal and has only day's, maybe even hours left. Soon heaven will welcome an angel. And she will shine brightly because there will be no more pain and sorrow, but only happiness and joy.

So, that I'm preoccupied right now, should be understandable. Still, I managed to write a few chapters this week, despite everything. Being out on a camping trip does help a lot too. We are in the middle of a beautiful forest. And it's peaceful here, so that helps me cope with the grief that I feel right now.

In a few days (maximum) it will all be over for my friend. She fought so hard, and she never stood a chance. My heart hurts, for her and her family.

Right now, I'll continue working on Matthew and Collin's story. Guardian Angels.

Have a good weekend y'all!
