Cherish your good days…

11 Jan

I do not possess an ounce of snark. Even if I tried to be snarky or write it in fiction, I don’t think I could even put a snarky sentence together.

I’m probably going against the tide. The latest heroines of urban fantasy and paranormal are sassy and snarky. Mine are hopeful. Oh well!

I think we all put a little of ourselves in what we write and I find myself unable to stop my heroines from questioning themselves, be nice and also hopeful about the future. Even the tortured ones, they always have that trait. Even in small doses.

Yes I do see the world as doomed sometimes but even at our worst, I choose to look at those who are trying to do good.

I’m my own life, even when I struggle, I find that my nature forces me to focus on the small things that are good. Even if they are very small. Every bit counts.

Don’t hate me because I’m happy!

I was ten feet high today! The best thing that could happen to a writer. My editor loved the latest version of Ancient Whispers. I worked hard and it worked. It is the most amazing feeling to have someone tells you they love a story you pulled out of nowhere, something straight from your imagination.

So no matter what, today I have that! And an uplifting kid movie I watched with my little one today.

Cherish your good days, they carry you through the rest.

Another 500 words added to Ancient Secrets today but starting tomorrow is a full week working on the latest revisions of Ancient Whispers due next Monday.

Wish me luck.

Blessed Be.

    That’s great, dollface! All good news.

    Snark isn’t for everyone. And I think sometimes people confuse snark with cruelty. Snark is fun and witty, it’s not mean spirited or nasty. At least, not in my world. *g*

    Blessed Be!

    Congrats on the latest editor comments! I’m so excited to read the finished product. I agree about Urban Fantasy heroines–as a group they’re pretty snarky. I just read the first book in Richelle Mead’s Dark Swan series and recommend it. Her heroine is funny and pretty happy with her lot in life.
