I just finished NaNoWriMo 2013, as everyone on my Facebook and Twitter know by now. I believe I did a few all caps lock status updates, I was so excited. Then I celebrated with Lara and the kids by jumping up and down and cheering. I followed that with a glass of wine.

I haven’t been all that diligent about sharing my other writing here lately. I’ve had a few articles published on the Yahoo Contributor Network. Two of them are linked into health and breast cancer, while the third is a Christmas Craft bucket list. Here are the links:

http://voices.yahoo.com/a-crafty-holiday-bucket-list-12396723.html (this one is a list of crafts I’d like to accomplish over this Christmas season)

http://voices.yahoo.com/the-tattoo-saved-life-12344838.html (this is about my cancer diagnosis, and advice I have for other women experiencing breast cancer)

http://voices.yahoo.com/i-am-not-angelina-jolie-12265890.html (just my opinion piece about prophylactic surgery as a way of preventing cancer)

Adding those three in with my nifty graphic from NaNoWriMo makes this a very self promoting post:

But, not entirely! Here are some Tuesday Thoughts for you, as well. 😉

“She was fascinated with words. To her, words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create powerful spells.” ~ Dean Koontz

“Good fiction creates its own reality.” ~ Nora Roberts

“Fiction is the truth inside the lie.” ~ Stephen King

“I do know where I’m going and it’s just a matter of finding the language to get there.” ~ John Irving

Happy Tuesday, and Blessings to you all!
