The Triple A

It's Sunday!!!!!
Less than 12 hours of freedom before I disappear into the work week, which is going to be a nightmare. *strangling self*

Until then I pause to bring a shameless plug *coughs* I mean post to someone who inspires me. This particular person inspires me so much that I am procastinating and not working on my 60n60 project to write this monologue. So here it goes:

The Triple A stands for Absolutely Awesome Amazing. Corny, I know, but true.
When speaking of the Triple A, I speak of a person I honestly have never met. Have I known this individual for years? No, but I have seen the amazing things that she does. This is a organized, intelligent individual that works from sunup til sundown and beyond. She takes care of a farm, blogs each and every single day, and is diligently focused on getting a writing career started for her and half a dozen individuals that she assists.
This is a woman who is admired from near and afar. She has many friends who would gladly offer to do just about anything for her, with the exception of kidnapping a particular evil entity and delivering him to her doorstep (he would probably go on his own free will though).
This is someone who willingly signed herself up for an extremely difficult task. She started a contest for an anthology, reviewed, provided feedback, and judged the entries (I was one of those crazies to enter). The idea of taking on such a project is daunting. This crazy, wonderful person took it one step further with editing, cover art, and publishing said anthology. She also has willingly offered support and motivation to me without bribes or blackmail, which I usually have to do to get others to submit.
Without further ado I give you The Triple A *drumroll, pause, breathe*

Phoenix Sullivan

Woot! Woot!

Check out Phoenix's blog Dare to Dream. In fact you better go there tomorrow, as Phoenix is having a blog anniversary. Contests, get in touch with the archives, or submit a query for some amazing feedback and insight!

-Once there you can also visit that great link to purchase that anthology I was talking about, Extinct Doesn't Mean Forever. If you are lazy you can click on this link.

-Then great intoxicated with Phoenix's self-published novel Spoils of War: An Arthurian Saga. Again a link for you lazy ones (don't worry I'm lazy too). 

Hope to see you all at the blog anniversary tomorrow.
Farewell from a purple sheep.

Happy Thanksgiving---to all and to me!

So, Thanksgiving is a few days away and I am feeling in the thankful mood.

My thanks (here goes):
-I am thankful for a loving family, a good job, and my week long vacation.
-I am thankful for the Internet, and blogger... as I have found both to be very helpful on my writing quest.
-I am thankful for Evil Editor, Phoenix Sullivan, Query Shark, Lynette Labelle, and a slew of others that have provided me insight over the last 12 months.
-I am thankful for this laptop, without it my writing would be strewn across tablets of paper.
-Finally I am thankful for good food, a bottle of Bud light, and music... all three keep my creativity flowing.
