Friday June 13th on a Full moon -- Once in a possible lifetime DAP TALES

I don't know if it is the moon and the date but I have been feeling very creative today. It's been fantastic! Don't to to talk too much about the work. I want to force myself to finish it. Feeling good. Feeling lucky -- that feeling is very new to me.

Aaaagrrrh DAP Tales!

Thinking of using pirate names to add to the fun of the LSS game. Feeling quite productive. Finally re-working the teachers edition and the play set. Made several mark-ups of the little playtime books -- all 29 of them! Designed more plates and worked on the mark-up for the GNG little books. I even worked out my new diet plan as well as my financial plan for the next 5 years. It's been a very good 3 days. More work than I've done in months. Hazarrrrrr!

The DAP Writing Process


I was invited to participate in Ana'Gia Wright's blog tour today and I am quite happy to share with y'all!
So... here goes...

1. What am I working on?
I think the correct question would be... What am I NOT working on? LOL! I am, to my own detriment, never parched for ideas (knock on wood). 'Focus' is really high on my list at this time. So I am attempting to focus on finishing my new book, "Midnight Kisses between Hippos and Fish"

2. How does my work differ from others in the genre? 
At first, I didn't think it did until people who read my work told me it was different. I love a challenge and my love for research really adds depth and richness to my stories in a way that I haven't been exposed to lately. If you can't find it, write it.

3. Why do I write what I do?
Well... It doesn't feel like a choice. I have so much fun with the stories in my head, that I am compelled to write it down and read them over and over again.

4. My writing process is...
To daydream the entire story. If I'm entertained, it makes it to paper. I often try to give myself a scheduled time to write, but in reality, I write when I feel compelled.

Jeani Brent has written a heartbreaking memoir called "Confessions of a Bullied Girl", which follows an insecure, knock-kneed little girl as she struggles to overcome the traumas her tiny California town doled out. From verbal abuse to rape, Jeani falls victim to bullying in all its most terrible forms.
When Jeani finally escapes the small town that had labeled her an outcast for so long, she slowly begins to see that it wasn't her all those years that was the problem; it was the hateful, small-minded people that surrounded her.
This bold memoir takes readers through Jeani's hell, and exposes the detrimental lifelong consequences that unchecked bullying can have.
