THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY: Let Your Man Make Dinner Tonight!

Okay, so I didn't know anything about this wonderful holiday until today, but, you know, I sort of like it!

Doug, are you listening?

My husband is a good cook and actually cooks a good portion of the meals at home, but I could use a break anyway. I just sat out some chicken, so maybe you can figure out a recipe around that, honey? We've also got some frozen broccoli in the fridge, and I really like the dessert option at the end of this fun video, though I realize we are both on a special diet. Still...

Anyway, girls, get your husband on board tonight to cook your meal and sit down with a good book. I'm telling you, that's what's on my mind!

Happy Men Make Dinner Day!

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY: Are Pumpkins Just for Picking?

Today is National Pumpkin Day. How are you celebrating?

LOVE this idea.

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY: Fantasy - Futuristic Music Playlist

I don't know about you, but I like to listen to the 'appropriate' music while writing the various genres that I write.

I'm on my second draft of Light/Shade. 

It is my first YA Science Fiction Fantasy, and I have found it interesting to listening to a certain style of music to set the 'mood.'

I have been using Pandora, but today I found this while searching for something 'thoughtful' to share with you today.

I like it.

Do you?

This one is more futuristic. I like it too.

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY: Are You a Good Neighbor?

I think I'm a pretty good neighbor. Still, there are times I can be stingy about my books and who I believe deserves them for free.

After all, I work very hard on my books, have to pay out some money to get them delivered to my home and try to keep my prices fair for those interested in buying them.

But there are times I feel it. You may have felt it too. You're talking to your neighbor, and something he or she says reminds you of one of your books. Maybe it's a character, maybe it's the plot, maybe you don't really know why you're thinking of that particular book, but you are.

What would it mean to your neighbor (they don't actually have to live next door for them to be your neighbor by the way) to receive a free gift from you just because?

Today is National Good Neighbor Day, and if you've been following my posts and tweets lately, you may have a pretty good idea of what I've been paying attention to. I am simply amazed that on any given day of the week, there is a day to think about, maybe even honor something.

And it's simply amazing what I've learned.

So, today I'm hoping to do something. I'm not sure who's going to get a free book from me. It might even be you. :) But I'm listening.
