Friday Fill-ins Edition 143

1. One week ago I was upset with a friend but now everything's okay with us and so I feel much better. 2. I rode horses, water-skiied, danced at the Disco all the time, and read Harlequin romances all the time when I was young. 3. Mama told me High-School would be my best years and that boyfriends took priority over girlfriends. I love my mom but I don't think that was the right advice, especially not the second part. 4. Forever you and me. 5. Take your time. It takes longer to do something over than to do it right the first time. 6. Today's troubles will pass! When God closes a door he opens a window. 7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching the season premiers of Smallville and Ghost Hunter then working on my edit, tomorrow my plans include finishing my pre-edit and hopefully also my latest short story, and Sunday, I want to add a lot more words and possibly finish the first draft of my novel in progress - while at my daughter's softball tournament all day! Yipee! It's Rising Starz again. (No, I'm really not being sarcastic - I like it, I love watching the girls, I hope my daughter gets a scholarship to play ball out of his, but sitting outside in the sweltering Florida heat ALL DAY on a Sunday is draining - just the idea is already draining me.) Have a great weekend. I'll prepost here for the weekend - Snippet Saturday tomorrow and a scintillating post for Sunday about the writing life. Also, if you didn't catch my short story "A Hard Time" at the Long and Short Reviews, it's still up. So please hop over to the L&S Reviews for my free short story for you.

Free Short Stories: A Hard TIme

From time to time I write short stories and give them away as a gift to my readers. Today is one of those days. My short story "A Hard Time" releases at the Long & Short Reviews. It will be the spotlight short story for the next week. Then it will be archived and thus still available for reading. Free samples are good for business. It's a win-win for the reader as well. Readers get to sample the product, in this case my storytelling, without risk. What do I, the writer receive? Free advertising from the story itself of course. Also I get the joy of sharing my stories. I enjoy giving gifts to my readers. In this case, I also receive two months of an additional ad on the site. What a good deal for the author, the site, and especially for the reader. So please hop over to the L&S Reviews for my free gift to you.
