Forest Wilderness




The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness ~ John Muir

RainbowCon 2014 is coming down to a close and I have a busy schedule planned. I am attending two more roundtables this morning and sitting on another one later today. As soon as the panel is done at 2 PM, it will be time to shuttle to the airport.

I’ll busy this week on the blogosphere as well. I’ll be with Joyfully Jay on Tuesday, Erato- GLBT on Thursday, and then Friday I’ll be hosting Max Vos and his new release.

Make it a great week everyone!

This the last day to get #APTCTO and #disappearwithme on sale!

Not Smart Enough





Some of the world’s greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible ~ Doug Larson

Have you ever sat in your dream journey and realized that you sat in your seat before? I am a believer in deja vu. I honestly think that our minds play tricks on us when we are sleeping and help us visual our goals and dreams, whether we want them to or not.

I have just completed the first two days of RainbowCon here in Tampa, FL. Not only have I sat in on panels, but participated in an author Q&A session, a book reading, and sat on a panel about Historicals in the last couple of days. In nearly every roundtable I’ve sat in, I’ve felt like I’d been there before. I actually dreamed of meeting all these other m/m authors! I don’t know if it’s my association with them on Facebook and Twitter or what, but I swear I could feel myself re-living moments of time the last two days.

That experience has been wonderful! A friend at work told me I was going to want to take a week off work when I return to write, and she was soooo right! I am in total writing mode and wanting to make The Higher Law even better than I think it is already.

Have you ever had those deja vu experiences in your dream journey where you know you sat in the chair before?

Don't forget, my novels are on sale through tomorrow while I am at RainbowCon!

Melt into the Earth!



Here’s to lying on the floor and feeling the stress of the body melt into the earth ~ Jill Badonsky

Six months ago when I registered for RainbowCon, I was excited and happy to be going. I was in the midst of edits for Disappear With Me, preparing for the holidays around our house, it was the furthest from my mind at the moment.

But now the time has come and I am here. I can’t hardly believe it! I have met so many people with whom I had only had a Facebook connection before! It’s great to network with others, ask what works for them, and the Con hasn’t even officially started yet. I still have a reading cut to prepare, two panels to sit on and author Q&A session.

It’s amazing that an actual dream is coming true for me this weekend! I am getting ready to experience something I’ve only ever imagined in my head before. I can’t wait to continue to meet folks and get additional advice to make my writing better. A friend at work said I’m going to loathe next week at work because all I’ll want to do is sit and write after all the great advice I hear and pick up on this weekend.

What step in your dream journey are you taking this weekend?

Because I am here at RainbowCon, you can take advantage of the sale on A Place to Call Their Own and Disappear With Me!

Mastery of Oneself




One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Although I run to my friend Pam at work whenever there’s been exciting news on the publishing front, soon after calling my husband and parents, for the most part I try to remain calm about such things. When I registered six months ago for RainbowCon, I was excited to register as an attending author, I was happy to have come up with the registration fee and that I made the list.

Tomorrow I fly to Tampa and boy am I freaking out! I mean, I am going to my first Con as a published author! I have to do a public reading. The only other time I’ve done this has been in my living room for the launch of A Place to Call Their Own. That was just in front of close family and friends. This will be in front of 300 conference attendees!

So wish me luck! I’m sure I’ll be okay and this all just jitters from attending my first Con. Not only do I hope to meet all the people I’ve made friends with through on Facebook, but also introduce some new readers to #APTCTO and #disapperawithme.

How do you handle the jitters on year dream journey?

The Secret



The secret is keeping busy and loving what you do ~ Lionel Hampton

Have you ever looked at the times when you're really busy and those when you're really not? I find it amazing sometimes that I get so much more done when I'm busy than when I'm not. When I have a lot on my plate and a lot going on, I tend to get things done. Most of the time it's because I know if I don't stop and take care of a five-minute or less project, it will get left or forgotten about.

When I was selling Tupperware and trying to build my business, we would talk about being busy. The advice given for those of us with smaller organizations and fewer parties, was to "make" ourselves busy by planning activities to make up the time that we would have spent having a party. That's when I discovered the beauty of making myself busy and staying busy.

Now I keep myself busy. I rarely relent on my rigorous writing goal so that I can get this third novel completed and submitted. Also, it's very hard to write at night after working all day. I must get my goal completed before I go to work. There have been times when I made up the word count over the weekend. Now that that the weather's getting nicer, that's getting more difficult to do. I just want to be outside.

How do you keep yourself busy and focused on your dream goals?

Balance and Perspective




Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life ~ Gregory Peck

Do you have faith in your dream journey? Do you have faith in the others that went before you? The systems already in place to help you be successful? Do you have faith in yourself?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, good for you! I’m glad that you have faith in everyone and everything, including yourself, out there to make yourself successful. If you answered yes, it sounds to me like you are well on your way to achieving the dream goals you’ve set for yourself.

If you answered no to any of the questions, you’re not alone. Most of us had some fears when setting out to chase our dreams. For me, I didn’t always have faith in myself. I would work hard for a limited amount of time and then I let other “life” things get in the way of my writing routines. Once I identified the best time for me to write and I’ve prove to myself that I can write a complete novel from beginning to end. I have faith in myself to get up every morning at 5:00 AM and get the writing chores done before anything else, even most weekends.

If you’re joining a group of people at different stages of your common dream journey, it’s usually easy to see what success can look like. Those people (and I am one of them now) might have more faith in your than yourself. Lean on them, soak in everything they have to tell, and one day you will find that faith in yourself to make things happen.

Do you have faith in yourself?
