How to Make Her Stop Yapping
We now have neighbors above us who have a dog. Our dogs, Vinny and Chiquita have a real issue with this. Every time they hear the dog upstairs, they bark. Every time they hear the people upstairs, they bark. We live in an old building with beautiful original hardwood floors, plaster and lathe ceilings and little to no insulation. These new neighbors have become the bain of my existence since they moved in upstairs. Very loud, drinking and fighting, slamming doors, and stomping kind of people. My upstairs neighbors are so noisy that is why I am killing them off in my next book. #NaNoWriMo #writersrevenge #amwriting — Eclectic Evelyn…

Started a list of stuff we need from the store so we can have some staples laid in and a few others household things that we need…

What Happens When You’re Not Cute Any More?
By my birthday, in May, I will be ready to publish a book. Yes, it is written and now it will be done. Write it down or say it out loud to someone else and it is binding to your word. It is a promise to yourself that you will keep. It is a goal that you have set before you. A goal that you will achieve for yourself. Maybe a book on goal setting and how to do that and get your shit together. How I have managed to do it all these years. People are always asking how do you do it? How do you get everything done…

Never Lose Sight
I need to get me a little notebook to keep with me all the time to jot stuff down in or maybe there is a program or app. There’s an app for that! There is something about having a little notebook and actually writing on a page that makes it seem more like a writer more real than just sending texts to yourself. I am going to get me a little notebook. A cute little notebook, that is not so small that I can’t see but is small enough to fit in a small purse or my bra, so I can carry it around with me. I also need to…
