So many times, I wonder what I’m doing with my life. I wonder where I went wrong and why I’m not making more of the education that I have. I ask myself what happened, when did it change that I didn’t want to go out and work with other people, when did I become such a hermit. I love my choice of life, though. I enjoy being able to work from home and not have to worry about dealing with other people.

But, what I wonder is why? Why haven’t I ever really put forth effort into one of the many small business opportunities that I’ve had in the past? Am I afraid of failing? You bet. But for every failure, there has to be a success. You learn and grow from each failure. But I still do not want to fail. I failed at so many things growing up that I can’t do it again.

And there-in lies my problem. I fear being the failure that I was always told I’d be. Yet, I feel like I’m a failure because I’m sitting here at home while my husband works every day.

Everyone wants to be an author, and now it’s even easier than it was in the past. How, you might ask, can it be easier to publish a book when you have to find an editor and a publisher and go through all the hoops to publish a book. Well that’s where Wordclay comes in. They are an online book publishing company that allows you to publish your own book without all the middlemen and hoops.

What could be better for someone who just wants to get their writing out there for friends and loved ones to read, but still have it look professional. Wordclay gives you that opportunity with a low cost to both you and those who purchase your book. So if you’re looking towards getting published, look no further than Wordclay.

As a writer, one of the most difficult things that to do is to publish a book and get it out there. That’s why self publishing is a wonderful option. You can get your book out there without having the worry of it being rejected by the publisher. You get to keep more control over your book, you get more say over what happens, including the price point. Self publishing, however, isn’t always as easy as it may seem. Without having the outside help from an editor and publishing company, you have to be more detailed oriented and pay more attention to your writing. Perhaps employ an outside editor or even a friend with an eye for detail to help you out.

But with Author House, you get the ease of publishing with the help of a publishing company that can help you publish a book without the headache of having to worry about the deadlines a publishing company puts on you. You get to do it yourself, with a twist.

So, I have a story that’s itching to be written, but when I sat down to write it, it wouldn’t come. I got the first 15 or so words and then it was gone. I haven’t been able to write anything more than a half-assed poem since November. It’s frustrating me so much right now. I don’t know what happened to my muse and my normal writing music isn’t even working, so I changed that up and went with something else. That’s not even helping me.

I also have this blanket I want to get finished, but I haven’t done anything on it in a few days. Usually, I crochet during the race on Sunday, but that was a crazy-ass mess this week and wasn’t held until Monday afternoon and I ended up reading my Carrie Vaughn novel instead. I’m about a little over halfway through it. It seems to be a bit slower progressing than her last three were, but it’s still good. I’m enjoying it.

I’ve been out and about quite a bit the last week, so that’s kept me from doing a whole lot on the computer and at home. It’s definitely been a good thing, though. I just can’t wait until it gets warmer and I can be out of the house more. I have plans to be detached from the computer more. I need to be. I need to work on my health more.

Anyway, I thought I had more to post about, but I don’t. So, hope ya’ll are having a fabulous week.

Creative White Elephant Gift Ideas for Christmas

A white elephant gift exchange is a great holiday game where all the participants by a gift, put it in a pool and when the exchange starts, the first person picks a gift, unwraps it and then the next person goes. They can either pick an wrapped gift from under the tree or they can choose the gift the first person opened, allowing the first person to open a new gift. This goes on until all the gifts are disbursed among the crowd.

Many people know this game by other names, such as dirty santa or sneaky santa, but it’s all good fun when it’s boiled down to it. But what can you get for a white elephant gift if you don’t know who is going to end up with it? It can often be difficult to choose something that everyone will be happy to get, so you have to take the time to pick well. It shouldn’t be that hard to select a gift if you know all the participants well, but that is often not the case.
