I love this book trailer. Caroline and I have been writing friends for years now. We have critiqued together and brainstormed and shopped for conference clothes together. We have laughed and cried together and now her dream of selling a book has come true. I’m very proud!

My daughter Morgan and the RED DOOR!
If you’ve read my earlier blog, you know that I have been doing some wild and crazy things…like going brunette and painting my front door red!
I’m having fun. Years ago I painted the interior of my house yellow! I loved it but nobody else did. Ha! I have painted my kid’s bedroom walls with murals and other crazy things (see picture below). I love expressing myself with fun pictures and bright colors!

Theresa dancing up a storm!
Do the days and weeks fly by, or is it just me? Never enough hours in the day. I have so much l want to do and I don’t know how to squeeze it all in. I want to learn to speak spanish and write a lot more books. I want to read books too, and bungee jump and hangout with my kids. I want to go on a date with my husband and poke around in my garden. I want to play my piano and learn more wonderful songs. I don’t want to clean my house, but I do need to clean it! I want to reconnect with old friends and and exercise everyday. I want to help people in need. I want to have a cause. I want to go back to college and learn! I want to go kayaking again and ride my bike. I want to write a new blog every morning and update my website more often. I would love to become a better cook! I want to watch a movie every friday night, hopefully one that makes me laugh and cry. I want to drink hot chocolate by the fire in the winter. I want to attend writing conferences and go somewhere new every year. I want to LIVE life to its fullest!!!
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainty that just to be alive is a grand thing. –Agatha Christie
Theresa as a brunette!
Okay, I’m feeling it…self-doubt is pouring down on me and as I usually do when this happens I find myself pruning roses or painting a door some crazy color OR dying my hair! After 49 years of being a blonde, I am now a brunette! LOL I’m seriously afraid to turn in my ninth book to my agent…afraid of more disappointment. There. I said it. I do feel a little better. But hey, I’m not holding my breath with this book. And I hate the idea of turning it in feeling like, “okay, here you go. Good luck.” I mean, I need to have the ol’ confidence and LOVE that I used to have for all of my books. And sheesh, I know a lot of writers out there, even best-sellers, have doubts…but nobody’s doubts seem as bad as your own.
Okay, thanks for letting me vent. Off to write another chapter. Maybe someday you’ll see one of my books on the shelve’s at Borders. Hopefully before bookstores become obsolete.
