My first Kindle Scout campaign is over. All I know is that "Avalon's Choice" was "hot." However, on that last day, I was able to view the traffic (or page views) and I'm not sure how "hot" is judged. The views didn't give me actual numbers, just traffic. So, I hope I did well enough to … Continue reading The Waiting Game

Boy is my face red
So today is actually the final day in my Kindle Scout campaign. Please give this tired mommy-writer a break and nominate "Avalon's Choice." Well played, Kindle.

The two bedroom, two bath property featured a full kitchen, WiFi, screened porches, and indoor and … Continue reading Beach on a budget

Setting Manageable Goals
This is not my forte, but I am working on it. Example: I am running the Tar Heel 10-Miler in April. I don’t train by running 10 miles every day. In fact, the most I’ve run in one outing is four miles, though I have run that with additional walking mileage. I’m building a base, … Continue reading Setting Manageable Goals
