The McNeil Adventures

Oh wow!!! After over a year of work with Cindy, Trinity, Alli, Marissa, Kyle, Tara, Kelly, Carol, Mr. & Mrs. McNeil, Ann, Edmond and Trevor I have finished writing The McNeil Adventures! And in all that time I just now learned how to spell Adventures, spell checker always helped me with that. :) It has been an amazing book, with lots of fun twists that I didn't anticipate and a lot of editing. Its been awesome. :D My next book is Danger In The Distance.

12.000

Random check in. :) I think that's what blogs are for, for all us people who don't have Facebook to have somewhere to tell people what were up to. :) 

I've been spending my morning working on The McNeil Adventures, (my current book) trying to get it done before November so it wont get in the way of NaNo, I just reached 12.000 words, which makes me doubt I can reach 50.000 next month but its worth a shot right? :) I'm having a lot of fun with this story and Cindy (My main character.) but trying to finish up a novel in a week that you've been working on for a whole year is a bit scary, sad and supper exciting to think I'm really going to be done with it. Now for all you experienced authors out there I'm sure 12.000 words is probably about what you edit out of your books. So it doesn't sound like much, but for a novice like me its extremely good. :D

Well I hope ya'll all have a great day! Happy writing!

Oh I thought you might to "meet" Trevor, Cindy's golden retriever puppy. :) He's always getting into trouble, thus the chewing on the pillow. :D 

Dog

If you don't want to hear miscellanies facts about my life and photos that probably are more fun for me then you then this is probably not the blog for you because I'm going to tell you about yet another of my pets. :) My dog Luke, he's a Australian Shepard and he is the most awesome dog in the world. :) 

Luke and Toothless curled up together. :) 

Luke avoiding Cuddles, our rather cranky cat. 

Have you ever seen a look like that on a dog before? Its my favorite picture of Luke because its so him. :) Its a ' "I'm in trouble aren't I?" :)

He had just had a hair cut and looked rather silly but he was more then happy. :D

Supper dog coming to the rescue! 

Shadow Dancer

I love doing shadow photos, playing with light it amazing, so my Amazing sister Rebekkah sacrificed watching a movie to take these photos for me. ;) She's awesome. :D 

This one I took myself but I still think it turned out pretty well. :)

I took this one of Rebekkahs shadow. 

Thanks for stopping by today to see my Shadow Dancer! 

Art

On of my favorite pastimes is art, I do mostly sketch's but I also dabble in painting. :D So I took some photos of my supplies and art because I prefer showing pictures to talking. =)
