Can you believe it? After I finished my last post I was abducted by time traveling aliens. Unfortunately, when they were done squeezing all of my information out of me, they returned me to the wrong time! It's now two months later and I haven't written a single post.
Curse you evil time traveling aliens!
What? You don't believe me? I'm crushed at your lack of faith in me. Do you honestly believe that I would just abandon my New Year's resolution like that?
Okay, okay, maybe I did sort of let two months slip by without posting anything. I'm horrible, I know.
I'll brief you on what's happened in my life after my last post.
I finished the first three chapters of my novel and sent it off to my instructor at the Institute of Children's Literature. She sent it back and said that it had potential. . . Hooray! And with the completion of that lesson I have now graduated from the course. I think this calls for another hooray. Hooray! I should be receiving a diploma in the mail within a few weeks.
Currently, I am studying to take my Food Safety Certification test, so I am reading all about bacteria and how they grow. And if I didn't have mysophobia before, I definitely have it now!
My brother and I have also bought a piece of property. It has a single wide trailer on it as well as a few outbuildings, one of which I have claimed for my own creative purposes. I believe I can transform the rotting little barn into a writing haven.
All I need now is rocks. Must have rocks! I need them for the base of the barn. The wood is decaying and I figure the best solution is to tear out all the rotten boards and replace them with rocks. So, I've been hunting for large stones. It's a hard, dirty task, but someone has to do it.
Believe me, my grandmother is going to be upset when her rock pathway vanishes.
Just remember Grandma, there have been sightings of time traveling aliens who, I forgot to mention, love stone paths.
Until next time.
Last night, as I was gazing out my window at the floating orb in my moonlit garden I thought I saw - no - could it be?- a time traveling alien admiring my stone walkway! And here I thought you were just making up excuses for not writing on your blog! I am sorry to say that I shooed the little creature away and told him to find his own rocks. He wasn't happy but since the aforementioned property is directly across the street I have a feeling he will be back! Love you - Grandma
ReplyDeleteWould I make up something as important as time traveling aliens just because I didn't write on my blog?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid to say, your walkway is still not safe. The aliens and I have an understanding. Sorry.
Love you too!
