Hey all!  I noticed that I’ve gotten into a two-week posting habit lately.  Probably because I’m in the middle of a WIP, and there’s truly not much news to share on the writing front.  I manage my weekly Magical blogs just fine, though.  Go figure!  I really love my second writing home, and the friends I share it with.

With spring here, we’ve jumped into the season like my family always does…with two feet, laughing all the way.  I’m starting to rearrange my writing schedule, somewhat, and the spring weather encourages me to make better use my time.  I’ve written on my deck once so far, and it was great to feel the sun while I work.  We’ve also enjoyed a picnic, and I look forward to the first time back on the lake.

What spring activities are you looking forward to?  And I’m curious, does a new season prompt a schedule change with your writing too? 

First off, I want to thank Edie Ramer for helping me figure out what I needed to do to post this cool pic of  Cynthia’s upcoming book.  Tech-gal I’m not!  Cynthia Eden has a fun contest running now until midnight March 29, in celebration of her upcoming book, Imortal Danger, due to be released March 31!  You can read all about the contest at her place.  Cynthia is not only a talented writer and terrific person, but making some serious tracks in her career.  

And Edie is a finalist in the Chase The Dream Contest,  and you can vote for her here.   Edie’s entry is Galaxy Girls and the last day to vote is March 11.  Edie recently finaled in the American Title V competition too, and is defnitely on a roll these days! 

Today is my blog day at Magical Musings, and the topic is reaching the midway point in a novel.  Stop by if you can, and visit.  Also, a reminder that our Magical Musings online contest is winding down. Everyone has until Monday at midnight to respond with their answer.  To repeat the rules: We have a writing saying in mind and have posted an image a week to give you clues as to which one. Sort of an online charades. After the final clue goes up, we’ll give you all a day to email us your guesses to Michelle Diener at michelle diener [at] gmail dot com (no spaces), and those who guess correctly will go into a draw for a Margie Lawson lecture packet of your choice. You can click on the links to find clue # 1 and clue # 2 and Clue #3 . Good luck!

And on a special note, I want to wish my youngest granddaughter a very happy birthday today!  She’s 6, and called us before she went to school today. We sang happy birthday to her, and it was a beautiful way to start to the day!
