Wedneday Update #9

If you want to know how Existence is going, just take a peek at my word count tracker on the right sidebar (last week it was at zero) so, yeah for writing!

I just wanted to take a moment and distract you all with my Pintrest account. I have been on there for a while, but I just started pinning pics that I think make great stories. So follow me if like, and I would love to follow you as well!

Friday is another life list club day, and I just wanted to make you all aware that the life list club is looking for another contributor. So if you would like to join us, just let me know. Being part of the contributing writers is great chance to get on other blogs and meet new people, but it also requires your commitment to writing great things and supporting the group. I sure have enjoyed my time, and I would love it if one of you joined us :)

That's it for today, so I'm going to leave you with a simple funny. Have a great day everyone!

Great sign by the way :o)

That sign is funny. I need to check out that Pinterest stuff. It's been on my "to do" list, I just haven't got it done. Ugh!

Pinterest reminds me of why I joined tumblr. Saves my poor computer's memory to keep great story worthy pictures online than downloading them.

I am stoically avoiding Pintrest, because I just know it will be a huge time suck for me, but I like your idea of pinning things that would make great stories. What to do, what to do. Must work on the self-discipline first. Funny sign!

LOL Totally loving the photo - and yay for the word count!! Great job. :)

I already have too many time-suck sites. I can barely keep up with Twitter and FB and G+ and...! Oh, never mind there are a few Flickr accounts I have that are in limbo... Boo!

Did I get you with that click-bait title? I always fall for those dang things. Anyway, this is a regularly (or not so regularly in my case) scheduled update. First and foremost I'd like to draw your attention to a fancy new box on the right-hand side. Yes, I'm starting a newsletter. As of now it won't be more than once a month. I'd love it if you signed up! And oh yeah: There will be a free novella if you sign up! Eventually, because I'm still working on it. Quality, folks. Second, I've started a review group on Facebook. If you like receive free copies of my books in exchange for a review, please contact me! (email: author.jabennett @ gmail.com) Third, I've update my books tab with links, so check that out too if you get a chance. Until next time!

The Noveling Journey

Image
cr: Diter Laskowski This past weekend I spent 10+ hours in a minivan with four small children. One of those children is only eighteen months old. On top of being squirmy, said child had started antibiotics for an ear infection only the day before. He can also scream very loud. As one must do with such an experience, I tried to find the positive. It was either that or breakdown and sob which wouldn't do anyone good. What I came to realize in the anxiety to and from my destination, was that I had been going about noveling all wrong. And trust me, it wasn't a negative thought. One thing I know about road trips is that if I want to get somewhere, I have to keep going. Stopping at Buc-ee's is really fun. It's great to stretch my legs and buy myself some beaver nuggets, but it's not going to get me anywhere. The longer I hang out at Buc-ee's, the later I'll show up. Writing is the same. Not for everyone, but for me it is. Social media is great. I actua...
