Welcome to my blog

Hi.  Welcome to the random thoughts of a writer, reader, librarian, mom, wife, and hurried person.  Right now, of course, my mind is a total blank.  What does a person write on a blog?  It's not like I don't have experience on this kind of thing -- check out my other blogs:  wellreadbooks.edublogs.org; extraordinarybookreader.blogspot.com, and teresasbookbuzz.blogspot.com.  But I've always hidden behind another name, or when I didn't, it was only my partial name.  Egads, I've put my whole name out there for the whole world to see.  For Pete's sake, what was I thinking? 


Well, I'll tell you what I was thinking:  I wanted to claim the space for myself before somebody else did!  I'm writing a book that hopefully will be published within a couple of years -- and hopefully it will do pretty well.  And I want to claim this little bit of cyberspace for myself for whenever anybody cares to check out what I might have to say.  Make sense?  I'm thinking for the future.

The book I'm working on, in my spare time (in other words, time that I take away from other things like laundry, cleaning, and looking organized) is called Green Corn and Porch Music.  A title I came up with that probably won't be on the cover of my book, when it comes out, because publishers/editors are much more adept at coming up with titles than I am.  In fact, I'm pitiful at it.  I stand in front of the newly released hardcover books in the bookstore and marvel at the pithy titles that make me want to grab them up off the stand, even if I don't have any time at all to actually read those books.  Which I don't, not until summer time, when school's out.  Right now I'm into audiobooks -- they are my passion.  I spend two hours in the car daily, and I wouldn't get anything read at all if it wasn't for audible.com and my trusty ipod.  

So what am I listening to now?  Eclipse, by Stephanie Meyer.  Third book in her Twilight series.  It's helped me with that teenage voice that I'm trying to hone in my own writing.  Plus, it's a cool read.
