Thanks for your kind words and for weighing in!<br /><br />Carol,<br />Had to laugh - now see, there's a game I've stayed away from. My downfall is playing Tetris on my son's old Game Boy. I keep it stashed out of sight, and for the most part, don't often play. But every once in a while it grabs me.:) Thanks again for letting me feature you here!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-15443070709718199102012-03-26T06:39:43.611-04:002012-03-26T06:39:43.611-04:00Thank you everyone for your kind words.
@LynNerdK...Thank you everyone for your kind words.<br /><br />@LynNerdKelly: When I first started writing, I didn't sleep. I got very sick and was diagnosed with sleep deprivation. That was 5 years ago, but I still have to be careful.<br /><br />@Susan: Most days, I don't feel energetic. But when you've created so much responsibility for yourself, you do have to follow through. :-| My only elixir is green tea--4-5 cups a day with an occasional dose of chocolate.<br /><br />@Jeanette: Most of life is a learning process, we just have to make good students.<br /><br />@Karen: I'm horrible at managing my time. Why did I EVER sign up to play Words with Friends on FB? Now I have a game invite luring me away from work. Whatever happened to the day when the biggest distraction was staying out of the fridge???Home Instructed Studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499078929352419868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-72867114241239918662012-03-25T14:32:14.447-04:002012-03-25T14:32:14.447-04:00I agree that we fall down in the marketing area mo...I agree that we fall down in the marketing area most.

We have a community of home-schooled children just northeast of here in Smithers, Terrace, Telkwa. I met a lot of writers who home-school their children at last year's writer's conference. I was in awe of their patience. I raised 5 boys, and honestly, I barely had enough energy left over to take them to their games on the weekend. Kudos to you, Carol, for making a difference. <br /><br />Hi, Karen!Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-82845240702168984232012-03-22T13:01:02.578-04:002012-03-22T13:01:02.578-04:00Thank you, everyone, for your kind words!
