New book

Hey again. How is everyone? I am doing well, I am writing this to ask for some volunteers. I want to see if I can get a few of you to read the first say ten chapters of my next book and give me some feedback. I will warn you, it is still a work in progress, so it hasn't been perfected yet. I am just needing a few opinions on how it sounds so far. If you would be interested, leave a comment or drop me an email to candia75@gmail.com and I will email it to you. Thank you in advance for your help.
Now with that out of the way, did you hear about the newest hurricane? This one is pretty strong and they are hoping it won't hit us. I hope it doesn't hit anyone, it seems like it would cause major damage.
Football is back, yay, and the Giants won their first game against the Panthers. I loved it.Cowboys lost, it was a good day. lol.
I am egerly anticipating the release of the newest expansion for World of Warcraft. It should be soon, because last week they had realm maintance and when it came back, there were new quests that led into the storyline for the expansion. Latest rumor is it will come out on November 2, but no official word yet.
Not much to say really. Happy 26th b-day to my little sister Elizabeth. Also Happy 1st b-day to her son A and Happy 2nd b-bay to her son D. All three around the same time.
See you guys later.

Labor Day Weelend

Come on, pull up a chair. It is such a nice day out I decided we might as well cookout. Too hot to cook inside. As I am typing this sitting out here on the back deck, I can smell the steaks cooking. We are having steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs. The little one insists on hot dogs. I also have corn on the cob and potatoes. It should be a good meal. The kids are throwing a football around, it almost seems like we are are a nice sweet little family. Yeah right. S is throwing the ball to aim for B's head and they are argueing rather or not it is a kick off or a punt. Fun times. I am starting to get bored being in this area, which means soon I am going to be looking to other areas to move to. I kinda would like to move out west, but the hubby and I are going to have to talk about it. I want somewhere with a good school system, no uniforms, low crime rates, no snow, a nice, family friendly place. If I ever find this utopia, I will be sure to let you know.
Did I tell you S has a new boyfriend? It is so icky. They are always on the phone together. He has finally learned though. At first he would call and ask if my daughter could talk. I would tell him yes, and then wait for him to ask to speak with her. He finally started getting the hint. It is one thing to ask if she is free to talk, another to ask to speak to her. I love torturing the kid.
Well, I am going to go for now, food is needing my attention. Happy Labor Day.

Hurricane is over

Hello again. I promised to update you guys on how we all fared through the hurricane. Well, I am not typing this from a row boat, so we are good. lol. Actually, it wasn't bad, a bit of wind, some rain, but overall, we were lucky. The Outer Banks areas had flooding and beach erosion, but nothing major.
So, now that the threat from that is over, everything is back to normal, or as normal as it can get around here. I am currently looking for an agent to shop my book around. I have finished the writing of it, and my sister volunteered (Well, was volunteered, she is ex-marine, so it is the same thing) to do editing for me. I can't do it. I look back through the book and decide I should make changes, then redo the editing and make more changes and by the time I am done I have done 5,000 rewrites and am back to the original. lol.
I am hoping this book sells. But even if it doesn't, I started writing because I enjoy doing it. If I make a trillion dollars from writing, cool. If I never make a penny, cool. I still enjoy doing it and will continue to write. And please do not send me emails telling me that writers do not make that much, I know. I was exaggerating.
Not much else to say right now. I guess I will go and maybe play a game or some thing. You guys have a great night.

Hurricane is coming!!!!

Hello all. Well, I live in coastal eastern North Carolina and Earl is heading this way. We are not going to be evacuated but some of the islands are under mandatory evacuation. We are hearing that we are mostly going to get some heavy winds and hopefully a bit of rain. We need the rain. Of course everyone is watching and hoping it keeps on its current track where it doesn't actually make landfall. But no worries, we are far enough inland we are going to get hit too badly. I feel sorry for those people who have to leave almost everything and not knowing if they will have anything to come back to. It is all just posessions, but some of those people have worked hard all their lives to be able to have those things and to have to face losing it all in one day. I will update you guys on Sunday after all this should be over to tell you what happened.
On to a lighter subject. I owe an apology to the people who have left comments for me. I found out for some reason my e-mails responding to you was not getting there. I am so sorry, I am not ignoring you at all. I don't know exactly what the problem is, but I will start answering any questions anyone has directly on here. That way I know you are being answered.
I really don't have that much more to say tonight, so I will let you go for now. Everyone who lives out here, I wish you well, and hope you make it through this mess. Night all.
