Come Inside My Head, if You Dare…
Today may have been perfect if not for this.
Hello!
A gal I know passed along this video to me and I HAD to share it with Y’all. I watched it an hour ago and my mouth is still hanging open. It reminded me of this selfie my cousin Luke and his friend took. You will see why!
After watching the video, if you take a moment to send me a short comment about what you thought about it, I will be so grateful!!
Thanks,
Jodi Lea

The Maddicus Kingdom has kicked off a game of Tug o’ War. It is a fun one, so check it out HERE!
The issue has two sides: COKE vs. PEPSI
Pick one and explain why you prefer it in a post that pings back to the Kingdom.
If you do not know how to do this, or don’t have the time to write a post – No problem! I can vote for my readers, just send me a comment and I will be happy to tally up your reasons for choosing Coke, along with mine.
I want to send my post in over the weekend, so please do not delay.
Thank you in advance,
Jodi Lea
Draft #4 (D-4) has begun. It will be the Final Draft. At last.
D-3 was a lot of gutting and changing plot, outline & characters, so D-4 is a complete mess. Things need to be organized so they can be written and then all tied up at the end. Like a book, say.
Five years are enough! I made 2 major errors that have come back to haunt my efforts. The first is that my outline was too sketchy. The second error springs from the first one: I can’t make up my mind. About the end, the start & critical scenes. So what do I do? I go into Deny and Avoid mode and nothing gets accomplished. I sit at my computer and catch up on email, work on Mary Kay or the Quilter’s Guild correspondence & website maintenance.
Anything and everything. Except for The Novel. Once I realized I was doing this and becoming depressed about being afraid of my writing, I had to do something about it. Deny and Avoid mode must be turned around into Focused and Excited mode.
In order to get to the damned point, yes, there is one, I have a Plan B. Why should you care? Because Plan B involves YOU! The wonderful and fun people who read this blog, can now get a peek into the fictional story that has consumed me for over 5 years.
All I ask is that you read it.
Some or all – is up to you. I do not expect comments (good or bad) about the story – no book reports or pop-quizzes either. I need to know that someone out there is reading my story, so I stay motivated to keep going and finish what I started.
I’m not making any promises of total chronological order, or a certain daily word count. I do intend to devote as much time as I possibly can. So, when I write only a couple of words – such as: “Research and more Research!”, you can bet that I was actually doing just that.
I remain “Not Pretending” here at my place 🙂
