Celebrate the Small Things-November 13, 2015



It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with the cover reveal for Self-Help 101 or: How I Learned to Take Over the World Through Tolerating My Family on Monday!  I got a lot of good comments, and that's always encouraging.  I'd also like to thank everyone who has signed on to be part of my blog tour.  As of now, I have every spot filled except for one.  The last day of my blog tour, which is Wednesday, December 16th, is still available, and the topic for that day is mistletoe.  If anyone would like to claim that spot, just let me know!

I got a proof for the CreateSpace version of my novella in the mail this week, and it looks pretty good.  Getting that in the mail got me all excited for release day.  Do I really need to wait until December 1st?

I also started work on the next novella in the Self-Help 101 series, and I'm pleased with my progress so far.  I love the excitement that comes with a project like this!

I'd also like to thank Jax and Dani from Cover Girls for the $20 gift card that I won through Spooktoberfest.  As soon as I got it, I did some book shopping.  Shopping for books always makes my day.

We had a furnace problem this week.  It started with a loud banging sound, and after that, the furnace sounded like a jackhammer.  It turns out the filter got sucked inside, and once that was removed and a new filter put into place, all was well.  I'm glad the problem was cheap and fast to fix.

Also, my broken laptop is fixed!  Yay!  My husband and some of his friends tore it apart and repaired it last Friday night.  I'm so glad to have my computer back.  Seriously.  I missed it.  I'm seriously grateful to my sister in law who lent me her laptop to use until we got mine running again.

What would you like to celebrate?

  8. Two important things fixed! Awesome!
    I bet it's handy to have family members and friends that can fix laptops. No need for Fry's, Best Buy, or the small repair shops.
    Congrats on the book front! :)
