Five things I thought about during my morning run:
1. Hey there’s Christy walking beside me. Cool. 2. Chatting about the holiday break really made the time fly. 3. This place is awesome. 4. Self-publishing. E-publishing. All of the changes in the industry. It’s hard to keep up. 5. Copyrights. Trademarks. Quotes. And so on. I am not sure anymore about the terms of fair use. A friend of mine is having an issue with her book because of the word Coke. Now I’m just remembering all the stuff about me using quotes from the “Pie...

1. Wow. Nice to get outside for a run. Absolutely awesome. 2. Crows. Starlings. Robins. 3. One shiny hole in the sky. That’s the sun peeking through. 4. That guy who was TOO TALL for the airline seat he was in and complained to the media about it–and they actually RAN the story. (Grrr.) Next time I am in IKEA and someone almost knocks me down because they can’t see me behind the boxes piled on the cart–and continue to push at me as if I am not there–I will...

I wish I had bought two sets of dishes instead of one. They are really nice...

1. Running at the gym was a great idea. Eating chocolate covered cherries right before–not a good idea. 2. My Nook. Interesting. I’ve gotten a few emails from friends about e-readers. Most of them act like I’ve “gone to the other side.” hahaha. I still have plenty of books and always will. But when you read as much as I do–it’s great to have another option. Besides, it’s my business to know the technology associated with my field. 3....

1. I really don’t like running in place, but I hate that cold wind and want to stay IN. 2. Tess and I are going to make root beer today. Santa brought her a root beer making kit. 3. Emma has already made a load of orange-mint lip balm.I have little jars of the stuff everywhere. 4. Intrigued by my Nook. I started reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on it last night. It will take some getting used to. 5. I am losing sleep because I am a beta reader for India’s new book. And ...

1. The white disk of a moon still hanging in a bright blue sky. 2. Cold air stinging my eyes. 3. Breathe. Space. Time. 4. Hills. Valleys. Mountains. Rolling around me. 5. My skin, my lungs, my heart love this winter air. I can almost feel my pores opening wide with each pounding of my foot, pounding of my heart. Ahhh!
