Please Excuse . . .

Home » Uncategorized » Please Excuse . . .

In: Uncategorized on: December 5, 2008

To Whom It May Concern:

Please excuse the lack of blogging at Five Bazillion and One. The writer has been inundated with football details throughout the playoffs, culminating in the state championship game this weekend, Thanksgiving, one doctor visit for herself, one doctor’s visit for her child (to cast the broken hand), one band program, one mission dinner, two basketball games, and, well, life in general.

She should be back to thinking—and writing—again next week. Unless Christmas trips her up, too!

    Doctor’s Excuse:
    Please excuse D’Ann from blogging. She is highly contagious, and anyone who gets near her may end up driving a child to band practice, a ball game, or the hospital. I expect her to recover sometime after the first of the year. In the meantime, I urge anyone visiting her blog to use a hand sanitizer on their keyboard.

    This sounds like a very stressful rendition of the 12 days of christmas….

    Five playoff games,
    Four doctor visits,
    Three thanksgivings,
    Two minutes to yourself
    And a frazzled writer trying to get through….

    Congrats on the state play-off game. This time of your life it’s important to “be there” for your kiddos. Trust me, they’ll be gone in no time and you’ll be left with all that “fodder” for writing. I’m still learning to be present in the present. Go team!

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
