Busier than a centipede at a toe countin' contest

Hey y’all! I’m back for a minute. Sorry I’ve been missing in action.

Lots of good things going on here in Fernandina Beach.

Let’s see. I submitted a story to Live Ink Theater for their storytelling event in December and it was accepted. The theme is Hope for the Holidays and I’ll be telling a story about my time with the guests at Room in the Inn at St.B’s last year.

I’m very excited and more than a little bit nervous. It’s been a while since I’ve worn my storyteller’s hat.

It doesn’t help that I can’t focus on the story because I found my copper and jewelry making supplies.

But that’s how my mind works and I’ve learned it’s better not to fight it. It’ll all work out if I don’t get too crazy trying to force myself and just go with the flow. The good news is I may have found a gallery that will carry puplucyblue so hopefully I’ll have a little income coming in soon.

Oh! Then this – my collection of short stories is being critiqued by Suzanne Hudson as I write this blog. I’m looking forward to her advice and edits. She’s the shit and I am extremely lucky to get her input. Hopefully it will be ready for publication soon. Fingers crossed.

Still working on the house, but it’s finally feeling like a home. Albert is inside due to a couple of chilly nights, but I don’t think he minds. He’s always looking over my shoulder when I’m writing and keeping me company.

I think that’s about it for now. I’ve got to get back to work and get my story memorized for telling.

Wish me luck!
