Monday, February 9, 2015. Starting Off On The Right Foot. 2015 has started off with a bang. Two weeks ago, I signed with Danielle Smith at Red Fox Literary. I am still buzzing with excitement and full of energy from this news. Am I dreaming? No one better pinch me! Where do I sign? We chatted for an hour before she asked me if I wanted to be part of her team. I told her since she was at the top of my list, I would need about a half of second to decide. Welcome to Red Fox Literary.". Posted by Russ Cox.

Monday, January 12, 2015. I will hum a tune. I will take a long shower and get dressed in real clothes. (Freelancers rarely shower or put on clean clothes every day. Pajamas, sweats, or even a robe are our clothes of choice.). I will cheer with the excitement when hearing great things that is happening to those that I know, want to know, or just think they are great, inspiring people. I will write something no matter what it is, good or bad. I will turn off the electronic world and pick up my banjo.

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. I just realized that it has been three months since my last post. Where did that time go? It seems like a few days ago we had over three feet of snow on the ground here in Maine. Now it is sunny and warm. The windows are open and a breeze comes drifting in, teasing me to go outside. I did not earn this title." I tell myself every day. One book does make an author." Is another one that crosses my mind. It is like one nail does not make a house. This made me smile. I am learning ...

Tuesday, May 6, 2014. Comfortable In One's Own Skin. The moment will arrive when you are comfortable with who you are, and what you are– bald or old or fat or poor, successful or struggling- when you don't feel the need to apologize for anything or to deny anything. To be comfortable in your own skin is the beginning of strength.”. Charles B. Handy. Instead of a NESCBWI conference wrap up, I would like to chat about something else. The conference was a big part of it. Will I let Renee down? Well, maybe I...

There are mixed emotions. Part of me is glad that it is out the door, like it has gone off to college, ready to begins a new journey. But another piece of me has the empty nest syndrome. I miss it.
