Today is my 57th Birthday...or as I like to say, the 17th Anniversary of my 40th Birthday! I say Anniversary, as the last truly great birthday was my 40th. I had just gotten out of a hellacious 30's and finally healing from my rape in 1994. Finally able to get beyond that, was the high point of my life. Now it's a struggle from day to day, and health issues from heck! Though I'm starting to level out my diabetes, I'm still getting UTI's and Kidney infections too. I really am not liking the issues that are going on.
On the good side, I'm making progress on 1000 Cranes, my Haiku collection. I will share my cover later...but will mention my cover designer here. Ashwords Design(s?). Ed did a fabulous job on it. And I am so excited to get moving ahead on this project. Hoping he will be able to do the formatting for me as well.
Other projects I'm going to be working on are anthologies that I'm part of the publishing teams on. So I'll post about those too. I'm trying to be accountable to myself and others too. It's hard to be focused on one project at a time, when I have several irons in the fire.
So stay tuned for more stuff coming. April is also Camp NaNoWriMo month (July is the next camp). So trying to figure out what to do for that. Maybe one of those anthology projects? Then the next for July. With camp, you can set your own goal (not just in words, but pages, hours). I tend to use them for editing though. Setting my goals in hours.
One last thing; my thoughts and prayers go out to the people of the Ukraine. I hope that the idiot in Russia pulls out soon, and leaves them alone. It's not right.
