I'm just a lil' ol' scribbling butterfly, who's ready to burst from my cocoon & spread my wings. So glad you've stopped by to join in my journey in this writerly world.Taryn Rayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00111240475586597010noreply@blogger.comBlogger787125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593537129708633105.post-86188201161193077622015-08-13T19:48:00.000-04:002015-08-13T19:48:18.687-04:00Life As We Know It....Boy oh boy has it been a long time. Since I last posted, a lot has changed. My divorce was finalized in May. I got a promotion at work, but I also lost my 12 year old furbaby writing companion. Sweet Miscellaneous, aka Mizzy passed away in February. It was the hardest thing I've ever dealt with, staying by her side until her last breath left her and the light went out in her eyes. I still can't much talk about it, or even think about it to imagine she's gone, without tearing up. It took me months to even consider a new furbaby. And then about a month and a half ago I guess..maybe a little longer, a close friend mentioned she had kittens who needed homes. And something about it clicked. I felt it was time now to open my home and my heart again to a fuzzy little hell-raiser.<br />

Affectionately named for the Siamese cat from the old Kim Novak and James Stewart movie, <b><i>Bell, Book and Candle</i></b>, which was a favorite of my aunt Debbie's and in turn a favorite of mine.<br />
<br />
We battle it out on a daily basis, getting swatted at as you walk by, but then later nuzzled and all purrs when he wants to knead on you and slobber before he settles down for sleep. Poor baby's had fleas and we've been fighting that as well. Not a lot of fun bathing a cat...I'll tell you that right now.<br />
<br />
Writing is still always on my mind, but not always something I have time for yet. I haven't forgotten. The heart won't allow that anyway... In the meantime, I'm adjusting to a new furbaby under foot and all over me when I'm not working that thing that pays the bills. As for Pye, he should have been named "Now you can never go to the bathroom alone." LOL <br />

And he's quite talented and acrobatic on the pole. Some days I worry I'll come home from work to find a neon "Live Nudes" sign hanging outside my front door. Is there a cat version of Chippendales? I'm sure he'd fit right in, shaking his furry money maker. He's got all the moves. <br />

Hopefully now I'll have more opportunity to post more often and I most certainly plan to spend more time reconnecting with my writing world. Boy have I missed it! Have a blessed evening and enjoy every moment. </div>

I haven't posted in a very long time, I know. Life has a funny way of changing...sometimes those changes come without our say-so, but in my case, I made some choices that altered my own path. Writing has had to take a back-burner for the past few months, so that's why I haven't posted any new blogs or been around. My sincerest apologies to any who have been following along on my writing journey here on my blog.<br />
<br />
I don't want to get into the nitty gritty of my personal life, but I will say that, my alter ego had to make decisions for herself to find her way and that meant I had to take a step back and let her do what needed to be done. It doesn't mean that I don't bug the hell out of her about why we're not writing though, or editing, or revising, or publishing. I'm pretty sure she thinks about it every single day, how little time she has to concentrate on that thing we love- the words, the stories, the happily ever afters.<br />
<br />
Last summer I moved back to my hometown with my daughter. It's been a rough road, indeed, seeking work outside the home after nearly 13 years of being a stay at home mom and writer. Seeking a home for myself and my daughter and striking out on my own has offered me a lot of things: a redefined view of who I am as a woman, a mother, a person. I think I got lost somewhere along the way, but as that little quote up top states, sometimes a different path, doesn't mean you're lost. It means you are finding your own way, your own destination, even if that means the road is more difficult, challenging, complicated. And it has been, but sometimes life needs to be shook up. Unhappiness can make us the sickest we've ever been and stagnation kills.<br />
<br />
So no bowl of cherries by any means. There has been battles of wills with my daughter, the loss of friendships, the difficulty of finding balance in a time of great changes, but at the same time, I wouldn't go back and alter my decision. I am happier, even with the amount of differences I now face, I don't feel stagnant anymore... I feel alive and useful, for the most part. There are plenty of days that I'm so dog-dead tired that I don't know if I have the strength to keep going, but I do. I somehow manage these things and I feel productive again.<br />
<br />
And having said that, I also feel myself finding my place, finding my ability to balance and finding my way back to a place where I can also fit my dream back into my reality. Life changes, but sometimes that is for the best, for we find out who we truly are and how to dig our strength up from deep inside and use it toward making our lives more fulfilling and happy. I am coming back to my writing, so I hope if you happen to see this post, please keep a lookout for me, keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I find that balance, that joy, and that I find enough hours in the day to make all my dreams a reality.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year friends! I hope to see a lot more of you all in this coming year!<br />

Music is a great ice breaker and often times when you find you have similar musical tastes as new friends or acquaintances, it makes opening up that much easier! Have you ever made a new friend simply because of a shared musical interest? <br />

Silly sappy love songs. They catch us when we least expect it. Have you ever been in public and had to fight back embarrassing tears over some song playing over the store sound system or when in the company of someone you don't know well enough to cry in front of? Share with me! I got teared up in the bra department once at Wal-Mart over a Christmas song! <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

My fabulous fellow Kentucky author,<a href="http://mymusesmusings.blogspot.com/"><b> Teresa Reasor</b></a>, has asked me to take part in a blog tour and to tag three
authors who might also be interested.<br />
<br />
Teresa Reasor was born in Southeastern Kentucky, but grew up a Marine Corps brat. The love of reading instilled in her in Kindergarten at Parris Island, South Carolina made books her friends during the many transfers her father's military career entailed. The transition from reading to writing came easily to her and she penned her first book in second grade. But it wasn’t until 2007 that her first published work was released. <br />
<br />
After twenty-one years as an Art Teacher and ten years as a part time College Instructor, she’s now retired and living her dream as a full time Writer. <br />
<br />
Her body of work includes both full-length novels and shorter pieces in many different genres, Military Romantic Suspense, Paranormal Romance, Historical Romance, Contemporary Romance and Children’s Books. <br />
<br />

<br />
Here's mine~ <br />
<br />
1) What am I working on?<br />
I'm currently editing LOVE BY DESIGN, in preparation for publishing.<br />
<br />
2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?<br />
I'd like to believe I bring a fresh perspective and mix in a bit of humor and realism to my romance. I want the reader to remember the story long after they've read "The End." I hope that I do that with the written word and keep readers coming back to get to know more of my characters time and again because they can see themselves there, with the hero and heroine, perhaps even friends with them. (What writer doesn't hope for that though?)<br />
<br />
3) Why do I write what I do?<br />
It's deeply ingrained in me to believe in a happily ever after or at the least, a happy for now. I believe love exists to remind us that we are not alone in the world, that there's bound to be someone else out there who could use a shoulder to cry on, a soft place to fall when the world becomes too much and a heart to hold us- to embrace us and not only fill us with immeasurable joy, but make us feel that we found something here on earth that's as close to heaven as you can get. Sometimes we're lucky enough to find that a few times in this life, sometimes we pick a few bad apples, but it's nice when we find that "one" that fills the whole bill... Regardless of how we get there or what ends up being our destination, it's life experience and love experience and that's what makes this journey worth it.<br />
<br />
4) How does my writing process work?<br />
I have always written somewhere in the middle. I don't really outline, though I do have notes with details, but nothing so much as set in stone. I used to swear I was a pantser but I do have some general idea of where the story's going to go... but I tend to ride the fence and let the characters lead me in the direction they want to go---- most the time. Sometimes I hear them speaking louder than I can bear and they fill me in in great detail and other times they're so quiet that it's like pulling teeth, but I try to allow them the freedom to step into the spotlight when it's time and tell their story the way it's meant to be. That doesn't mean I won't go through round after round of edits later to tighten and give them more focus, but I like to allow the story to grow on the page more organically than with strict guidelines and rules. Just seems more natural for me as the storyteller. <br />

husband of more than four decades. A proud Boomer who loves to travel,
she has watched bamboo grow in China, seen the Taj Mahal floating in the
light of a full moon like a gravity-defying UFO, and looked on in
amazement as the dawning sun set fire to Ayers Rock in Australia. She
believes truth is stranger than fiction and fiction is often truer than
truth.<br />
<br />
Sondra admits to being a bit of a late bloomer, only

Sometimes there are quiet moments that catch us completely off-guard- that first "zing" between yourself and your love- whether it's a new relationship just beginning, or even one that has stood the test of time. It's those moments that make your entire body come alive and makes your heart bottom out in your tummy. It doesn't always have to be a big romantic gesture- sometimes it's the unexpected moments that leave the lasting impression.<br />

Between several automotive issues and a bunch of personal life problems, I'm run half ragged and zapped- mentally, emotionally and physically.<br />
<br />
Just as with novels, life is one big work-in-progress and I constantly find myself working and reworking my thoughts, my routine, my goals.<br />
<br />
I'm also quick to remind myself that I'm glad I'm at "this place" with my writing- I actually feel older and wiser and I'm making progress, slow but sure progress, that will help me win the race. I'm glad I'm not still that stubborn 20 something who couldn't take constructive criticism or see the good in creative suggestions.<br />
<br />
From the editor I'm working with to the beta readers and fellow authors who've taken a gander at LOVE BY DESIGN, I'm finding so much VALUE in the grammar and typo catches, the clarity in character and plot points that need adjustment. Tighten a bolt here, loosen a screw there, it will be well oiled and as good as we can get it before I put it out there for your reading pleasure...Much as I'm eager to "deliver the goods"- I want to make sure I give you MY best- and Jasmine and Derrek's best, too.<br />
<br />
And Jasmine- much as I love her- has some character flaws that are starting to stick out like nasty little brambles, catching on my clothing and I know I need to weed them out- snip out the ugly and replace it with something that doesn't leave the reader wanting to grab her and shake the snot out of her. I'm thankful for all the help I'm receiving- the kindness of strangers, indeed! And I'm hoping that I'm building relationships with people who will become my pre-readers, my cheering section and my friends.<br />
<br />
Even with everything else going on in my life, I am thankful for these new acquaintances as well as my wonderful writers' group- the <a href="http://kentuckyindiewriters.blogspot.com/">Kentucky Independent Writers</a> are a grounding force, yet also inspire me to lift myself up and reach higher, farther and even jump just a little, to grasp at those dreams I have, to pluck them down and make them REAL.Taryn Rayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00111240475586597010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593537129708633105.post-15832383259926438302014-05-02T06:00:00.000-04:002014-05-04T13:37:27.365-04:00Friday Freebits LOVE BY DESIGN Guilty pleasure music #frifreebits #excerpt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Everyone has guilty pleasure music and Derrek is much like me- I can't turn the station if I hear "Jessie's Girl" come on! What about you? Are there certain songs you really don't want to admit that you HAVE to listen to when you hear them? C'mon- Share them with me... I'll share a few more of my guilty ones, too, in the comments if you do!<br />
<br />
(And I'll even throw you a freebie- Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" for starters. Hehe!) <br />

This is actually a recipe that I got off Facebook- and usually, under normal circumstances, those kinds of recipes are usually an epic fail for me. Not this one. This one is awesomesauce, even if the kids aren't fond of it. I did have to make some cooking time adjustments for it, but now that I have it down it's good to go.<br />
<br />
<b>Oven Baked Fajitas</b><br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips<br />
2 TBSP vegetable oil<br />
2 teaspoons chili powder<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin<br />
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano<br />
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt<br />
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (Rotel- I have to use 2- 10 oz cans because I don't think they make a 15 oz can of it- I use one can original, one can hot for a very spicy fajita)<br />
1 medium onion, sliced<br />
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips<br />
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into strips<br />
(I have been known to use yellow and orange ones as well and quite often the entire pepper sliced up rather than just 1/2)<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Preheat oven to 400º. Spray a 13X9 baking dish with cooking spray.</b></li>
<li><b>Place raw chicken strips in a large bowl.</b></li>
<li><b>In a small bowl, combine oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano and salt and stir until well blended.</b></li>
<li><b>Pour over chicken and stir until chicken is well coated</b></li>
<li><b>Next, mix in the Rotel, peppers and onion to the bowl, stir until well mixed and then transfer to greased baking dish.</b></li>
<li><b>Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, remove from oven and stir (chicken will not be done)</b></li>
<li><b>Return to oven and bake another 25 minutes or longer- Until chicken is cooked all the way through and the veggies are tender.</b></li>
</ol>
<b> Serve in warmed fajita shells with your favorite Mexican extras (refried beans, sour cream, rice)</b><br />

Here we are on another Friday Freebits and I'll be kicking the weekend off with a jump, from Derrek and his buddy Fisher, hanging out and shooting pool, to Jasmine hanging with her sister, still reeling from her overexposure at the movie premiere and attempting to avoid Derrek the rest of the weekend so she can have time to "think" about where she wants this whole thing to go.<br />
<br />
So here's my offering for the next excerpt, my "free bit"
again from my upcoming contemporary romance release, LOVE BY DESIGN.<br />

Good FRIDAY morning! It doesn't seem like we're already heading into the 1st weekend of April, does it?<br />
<br />
We've hit a snag it would seem, in the Sunday Snippits blog linky list, so, Ginger Simpson has come up with <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><a href="http://mizging.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-end-of-sunday-snippets-but.html">another way to share</a></b></i></span>, that will kick the weekend off with a bang, and hopefully there will be a LOT of "free bits"- excerpts you can go read over the weekend. It will be the same premise as Sunday Snippits, same amount of an excerpt shared, but we're hoping this will also open us up to more visibility if we get the party started on Friday night. You can come party with us over the entire weekend! Isn't that lovely?<br />
<br />
So I'm here this lovely Friday, offering the next excerpt, my "free bit" again from my upcoming contemporary romance release, LOVE BY DESIGN.<br />
<br />
And as always, please stop by Ginger's Blog- "Dishin' It Out" by
clicking on the image above. There you can find MORE excerpts
from other authors. Fellow authors- prepubbed or currently published-go find out how you, too, can hop on this party train by sending her your link earlier in the week so she can include yours in her post. <br />
<br />
I still say- A party's not a party, till the gang's all here! (And even better if we can rock it out all weekend long!)<br />

Twice orphaned, Catherine Barrett arrives in Virginia a stranger to her
closest kin and secretly engaged to the one man her family would
disapprove of—her seafaring grandfather’s apprentice. Add to her
troubles, the rich and intriguing older brother of her secret betrothed,
Dawson Randolph, a plantation owner who is as heartless as he is
handsome. Heartbroken when her intended sets sail for his maiden voyage,
Catherine finds it difficult to adjust to her new life, hoping to
befriend the one man who is, undoubtedly, the match her grandparents
wish for her. Dawson’s distaste for her secret engagement to his brother
makes it clear he has no designs for marriage to anyone. Especially
her.<br /><br />Ten years since the tragic loss of his young wife and infant
son, Dawson Randolph is convinced love and marriage is a fool’s game
and resents being pardon to his brother’s hidden engagement. Damned by
his instant attraction and his own growing desire, Dawson vows to
befriend her against his better judgment. Determined to bring her
happiness in a time of fear and uncertainty, Dawson puts aside his
animosity to become her confidant, only to realize Catherine holds the
key to his heart. When tragedy strikes at sea, Catherine’s guilt pushes
Dawson to the fringes of her life as madness consumes her.<br /><br />Can
his love save her before she drowns in her own grief? Or is he doomed to

Things around here have been uber busy as of late. I've been deep in revisions and rewrites on LOVE BY DESIGN since earlier this month. Between revisions and rewrites I was working on, I was also doing edits based on the suggestions and feedback of a fellow KY author who was beta/editing for me.<br />
<br />
I finished up this past Monday, just after my weekend away for my Kentucky Independent Writers meeting on the 22nd. I came back refueled and focused and whipped the last three chapters' rewrite out in no time. Tuesday I sent out to the one author who betaread the entire manuscript pre-rewrite, but who I'd shared my rewrite notes with. While she read, she kept that in mind.<br />
<br />
Then it was off to 3 betas and an editor I had lined up. Last night I mailed it off to 2 more betas, so it's out to 5 betas + the editor.<br />
<br />
My fellow author, sent back the 3 rewritten chapters with only minor "pickies" as she called them, a few things of which were just flubs on my part, where I pounded the story out so fast that I missed a typo or two here and there, or a added/missing word and a few other suggestions. She said that the added conflict upped the expectation at the end of the story, so I'm pleased with that feedback, for sure.<br />
<br />
This has me thinking too about how soon I'll have a <i><b>RELEASE DATE </b></i>to share, and that's just making me crazy excited! I'm hoping it will be sooner rather than later. We're getting so close, I can taste it. Yippee! And that means that soon, I'll be putting out a call to bloggers who might like to interview me or have me guest on their blogs, so keep an eye peeled for a blog about that or if you sign up for my NEWSLETTER (link listed below), you can find out about it that way as well.<br />
<br />
All while doing this, I've also been having car troubles again. Last month after I went to my first writers meeting, my check engine light came on. A diagnostic check said the thermostat was going out, but after mechanic and husband checked and didn't seem to find a problem, we basically just "reset" it and it went off without any more trouble. <br />
<br />
This time my brakes have been squeaking and I thought maybe it was just cold weather, but then it pulled a "squealing" on me- Sounded like a big fat pig crawled up under my hood. And it wasn't the squeaking brakes, but a sound it emitted while I was accelerating, when my foot was no where near the brake pedal. It only happened on Sunday while I was in my hometown before I headed back and only for a short time. Called my husband to ask him what he thought it might be but considering he was here and I was there and he couldn't look at it or listen to it, he didn't know. Said it could be the rotors, or maybe the fan belt. When I took it over to my parents to have my dad ride with me to see if he could figure out what it was doing, it quit and has behaved ever since. Not really sure what the deal is....<br />
<br />
But, poor Jasper is in the shop now and won't get him back till Tuesday or Wednesday right now. He's had a time of it since I got my license...maybe I'm running too hard? Or maybe it's just the wear and tear of having almost 100k miles under his belt. I know he'll need an oil change before I travel very far again, but for right now, the mechanic is going to change the fan belt, the spark plugs and lines, and some other things they seemed knowledgeable about that I don't.<br />
<br />
I'm also re-immersing myself in Triberr (and hopefully going to find time to start posting blogs myself more consistently), joining groups on FB like Kentuckiana Authors and Kentucky Romance Writers (not the RWA Chapter I once belonged to, as it disbanded a while back.) Been doing the "social media" thing, bouncing around here and there, trying to cover some bases and make connections.<br />
<br />
I got a new cell phone and have been having a time with the learning curve of going from my dinosaur Motorola Cadbury that I could only call and text on, to an Android phone and though I like it, I'm still a bit perturbed and displeased with some of the specs of the one I got. Why? Because the internal memory is not large enough to handle the workload of the calling plan it goes with. That just doesn't make sense to me. Don't offer a phone with a tiny internal storage if it's meant to handle a LOT of data, like the Google Play store and all the apps that are out there, especially if none of the ones pre-built in can be saved to the SD card and any tiny update to anything causes "Low Storage Space" notifications CONSTANTLY! And it tries to update all those apps as soon as I turn on my data. That's just stupid (or a genius marketing ploy to screw over the customer.)<br />
<br />
The phone and plan should complement each other and be compatible...this DOES NOT. I can't update apps and I have a lot of "low storage space" issues to contend with if I try to, which sucks big toes, but it was the "only" phone they sell with the specific "unlimited talk, text & data" plan I went with. It'll do for now though, I suppose, as long as I don't hassle with it too much or slam it against the wall... (Yes, I was tempted within the first DAY of having it...but I'm restraining myself... Lord am I restraining myself!!!!)<br />
<br />
I did sign up for Instagram though and found I can use it without it causing a lot of headache- it saved to my SD card! Whoo Hoo! So, <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><a href="http://instagram.com/scribblingtaryn#">you are more than welcome to come follow me there,</a></b></i></span> where I'll just post random pictures of whatever suits my fancy or tickles my funny bone. Or inspires me, etc. I kinda like it.<br />
<br />
Also been updating my website, and my <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TarynRayeRomanceWriter">FB Page</a> </b></i></span>- I have a few new tabs on my page. Besides Photos and Likes, I have my Twitter, Goodreads, and my <i><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TarynRayeRomanceWriter/app_100265896690345">Newsletter Sign-Up</a></b></i> tied to it (If you haven't signed up I urge you to so you can stay in the know- I haven't sent out my first yet, but will soon!), and I JUST added a "My Books" Tab and the "Authorgraph" Tab and a "Pinterest" Tab, so you can easily access those things through there. I was going to do the Instagram one but it just doesn't work for some reason and I found a FAQ on their site that said it couldn't be connected to a FB Page currently through an Android, so that may be why.<br />
<br />
I'm looking into added a Tab linked to my Website or maybe a few other of my Social Media connections, but that requires doing a FB Developers thing- I'm not sure or confident enough yet to try that, being I'm no computer whiz or graphic/web designer who's knowledgeable about HTML codes and things of that nature. I see that it implies it's simple to do, but still makes my stomach churn with anxiety that I might screw up my entire FB Page if I attempt it, so for now I'm leaving well enough alone.<br />
<br />
It leaves me wondering, what other things readers like to find on Authors' FB Pages, so I'll leave you with a few questions today- feel free to leave me some ideas that might make my FB Page more interesting, that might draw attention and help my page gain more "Likes" and more visibility.<br />
<br />
Do you keep up with what's going on via "Pages" you like? Are there Tabs or links or widgets that readers find helpful or that make them follow an author more closely? What are things that make you deeply invested in an author's Page enough to visit it regularly?<br />
<br />
It's crossed my mind to look into finding a way to "Tab" link my blog there as well. Or Google+.<br />
<br />
Let me know what you think.

Sunday Snippits are here again, folks and I'm picking up just about where I left off, where Derrek's buddy Fisher comes by to share a few beer and shoot a little pool.<br />
<br />
Sharing again from my upcoming contemporary romance release, LOVE BY DESIGN.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to please stop by Ginger's Blog- "Dishin' It Out" by clicking on the Sunday Snippits image above to go read MORE excerpts from other authors & find out how you, too, can hop on this wagon train each Sunday on the Linky List, if you are a pre-published or published author as well!<br /> <br /> A party's not a party, till the gang's all here! <br />

Yep, my world is expanding. And YES, I called myself Lil' T.<br />
<br />
Taryn stepped outside her box on February 15th and attended her very 1st writers meeting. I belong to the <a href="http://kentuckyindiewriters.blogspot.com/">Kentucky Independent Writers</a>. I once belonged to the RWA Kentucky Romance Writers Chapter (KYRW), but I never attended any meetings because I live 2 1/2-3 hours drive from there and even though the meetings were every OTHER month, I didn't drive or have my own transportation at the time, and I didn't want to feel I was putting my spouse out to drive me up there, so far out of the way. Plus I was certainly scared spitless (yes, I'm minding my mouth, but not sure how long that will last. Haha!)<br />

I missed out on a LOT and I'm aware of it in a way that's almost physically painful now when I look back on all the years I spent hunkered down in my self-inflicted isolation.<br />
<br />
I missed out on a lot of craft lessons, networking, and interaction that is so important to an author. This may be a solitary career choice, but when you have a group of like-minded authors, striving toward similar goals and dreams, it makes this journey that much easier. I hate to say it, but I regret all that wasted time, keeping to myself except via the internet. I could seriously kick my own ass for being so foolish as to think I could still get the same strengths out of it, just by being in touch.<br />

And now that's going to change. When I started writing in 2006- or I should say, when I picked my writing back up in 2006 and began writing prolifically and in earnest because I HAD to get the stories out, I thought I was stepping outside that box and becoming bolder in who I am.<br />
<br />
It wasn't until this past year though, that I feel I've really begun to find my courage, my bravery, to be who I am, to write what I want and to start thinking about ME for a change. Sure I was writing, but I was still hiding myself away and sure, there are authors who do not socialize or interact out there and there are stereotypes of authors like that, but I enjoy the company of my kind. We are birds of a feather and I find myself now flocking toward them, needing this more than I ever thought possible.<br />

<br />
Getting my driver's license has helped me in more ways than I can begin to fathom and now that I've attended my first meeting, I see that I need more than the isolation that I have subjected myself to for all these years.<br />
<br />
I need the energy that comes from being in a group, talking, brainstorming, discussing all the things that are pertinent to us authors who, though we're taking "independent" routes to fulfill our dreams, still gain so much from the friendships and interactions with others who are also taking this same road. <br />

I came away from the first meeting feeling rejuvenated, excited, proud of my small accomplishment of shaking off the fears that have held me back, stunted my growth and found myself inspired to move forward that much more.<br />
<br />
I've been working on <i>Love By Design</i>. Edits are done, yet again. I need Beta Readers, but need to find those who are unbiased but trustworthy.<br />
<br />
I'm also trying to throw myself back into the world of the living. That
means blogging, sharing posts through Triberr, and I'm trying out using
Google+ more often than I have been, especially as hard as Facebook
makes it to share from my author page. What you can't find on Facebook,
I'm hoping to making easily available to view (free) on Google+. <br />
<br />
So.... in the meantime... I really need to get to work reading through and editing on <i>Love By Change</i> (Book 2 in the Love By Series and I still need to finish writing <i>Heart of the Surf</i>- the 4th and final book in the Pryce of Love Series. You can find out more about each of the books I'm currently working on via my <a href="http://authortarynraye.webs.com/worksinprogress.htm">Works In Progress</a> page on my website and if you go exploring on my website, you can also find out how to sign up for my <a href="http://authortarynraye.webs.com/freebienewsletterinfo.htm">Newsletter of Love</a>, which I will send out when I have new and exciting things to tell you about my upcoming releases.<br />

Been thinking lately about how quiet I've been. I've been more crafty than writerly in my mood. Making homemade gifts for my loved ones feeds my soul and blesses me with a form of joy I can only get from doing those kinds of things (even when some people look at me like I've lost my ever-loving crafty mind), but tonight I keep thinking about my stories and the joy they used to bring me- those written, those not yet finished, and even those not yet begun & I feel melancholy.<br /><br />I miss writing- I mean I miss it so much it hurts. It feels like I have a deep black hole in my heart because it's missing and yet, I don't know how to get back to it. Certain revelations about myself as a writer, about my stories, my characters, what's lacking in the stories I've written has bogged down my creative juices for months, and the process just doesn't want to come to me. I feel alone in this journey and have at times wondered what I'm even doing and why.<br /><br />I know WHY- it's because my heart does not stop desiring to put words to page, even when I'm feeling creatively blocked, emotionally disconnected, and frozen in place by fear and self-loathing of myself as a writer. Self-doubts and misgivings press in on me from all sides and make me question whether the stories I have written and want to tell are even worth it. I keep thinking that there are so many other more talented authors out there and that what I have to offer would fall short of the readers' expectations, and mine.<br /><br />I know I have a lot of work ahead of me and there are changes I need to make to my characters- in their personalities, their strengths and their flaws, the very essence of their stories and who they are. I feel so overwhelmed by it that I can't even begin... Every time I think of opening a file and working on it, I feel panicky and scared- and I'm not sure what scares me more....the fact that what I might find could be trash by my own standards, or might be trash in the eyes of others----<br />
<br />
And worse yet, what if it only serves to reveal to me that I'm a sub-par author with little to offer in the way of a heartfelt story that touches a reader and proves that I'm nothing more than a fraud--- that silly dancing chicken on a hotplate. (I seem to recall that being something George Strait talked about in Pure Country when he was tired of all the razzle-dazzle of the business and how he felt like that dancing chicken- which seemed like a neat trick at a county fair or something, but in truth, it was just on a hotplate, burning it's feet and just dancing as fast as it could to get away.)<br />
<br />
I do think a lot of it has to do with the fact that it's not just one book, but many, that I know I need to take a good hard look at and decide their fate through editing, rewrites,(and it might mean massive rewrites) before I can move forward with my plans to self-pub. Some days I wonder if I should even continue, but its nights like this when the ache to get back to work on it burns so brightly it hurts my chest and brings tears to my eyes.<br />
<br />
I will sleep on it tonight- hopefully.... and maybe this is just a sign that my time to come back to it is drawing closer....that I need writing to quench a thirst I can't quite seem to vanquish...<br />

<a href="http://mrg.bz/BPoQys" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://mrg.bz/BPoQys" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I've been dreadfully absent around here I know. I can't even remember the last Saturday recipe I shared or Sunday Snippits, but I had to step away for a while and I might still be spotty when it comes to posting.<br />
<br />
Last month I took a huge step for a "woman my age" and finally took the road test to get my driver's license. I failed MISERABLY the first time, so I had to wait, practice and go back the following week to re-test. I passed with only 1 thing marked off the 2nd time, so I'm now a licensed driver- look out world! Some have already been warned, but I'll share here, just to warn everyone else.<br />
<br />
I'm still getting used to the knowledge that I can come and go, pick up things from the store, do the grocery shopping- ALONE!- I can do birthday shopping now for family in my household without them being with me or finding out what I got them before I get to wrap it.<br />
<br />
It's definitely given me a new sense of self and a sense of freedom, but there are days that I find myself wanting to go driving, or take off to go visit family and friends while the hubby and kids are at school, but it would be a 2 1/2-3 hour drive to do so, which is frustrating and makes me melancholy during a season that usually rejuvenates me. This year I'm torn between the joy of this newfound freedom and the fact that I can't just go visit my close friends and family at the drop of a hat.<br />
<br />
Another reason I have been absent around here has a lot to do with my writing- or the lack thereof. Even with editing and getting help from fresh eyes to see where my faults lie in my writing, I feel like a car stuck in the mud, spinning my tires and getting no where fast~ except exhausted and burned out. And unhappy. Discouraged. Disappointed in myself and I'm mentally exhausted and even though I KNOW I don't want to give up writing, I just feel tapped out....I still have stories to write, begging me from the inside out to bring them to life, but I have no zest, no zeal, no desire to write, right now.<br />
<br />
I found myself cycling through edits until all I wanted to do is cry because I'm so overwhelmed by the work I know needs to be done, not just on the one I've been editing, but the ones that come after, which are "1st-Draft finished". Talk about that sense that you are drowning. I found myself promo'ing for fellow authors and myself (for the one book that is pubbed) more than working on my own stuff that I intend to pub. When I did look at my own stuff, it just made me sick to my stomach and well, when you no longer "love" what you do, sometimes you have to step back and refocus and reassess where you are and what path you are going down. For me, I feel like a snowball, rolling rolling rolling, picking up speed, but headed for disaster. I've even backed away a lot from my real life social networking as well. I check in ever so often but not like I was before.<br />
<br />
Now Mercury is in Retrograde and has been for about a week and will be till mid-November (the 10th actually), so I'm too superstitious (or silly) (or crazy) to pick up and start ANY new project at this time. I'm concentrating more on things I need to do around my house, making lists for holiday treats I plan to make before Thanksgiving to take to family and friends, playing seamstress to take up my daughter's oversized costume for Halloween (She wants to be Sabrina the Teenage Witch, though no one will get that unless she explains it. She got hooked on the show this past summer on Netflix/Hulu and just LOVES it). Normally I would dress up too, but I'm just not feeling it this year.<br />
<br />
Now, even in my absence/quiet- I still have a book available- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Castaway-Hearts-ebook/dp/B007QGZDJY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=8-2&qid=1383053884">Castaway Hearts</a>, which I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE it if you'd check it out and let me know what you think of it, but for right now, I think I'm going to step back from writing all together, at least until after the New Year. I've tried before to step away but I don't think I ever truly gave myself time to clear my head.<br />
<br />
I'm so tired. My mind, body and spirit need time to rest and adjust and find the heart of my writing again. I think somewhere along the way, it's gotten buried deep beneath everything else in my life. It's the "autumn of my discontent" and on a personal/emotional level, I'm trying to figure out what's best for me and eliminating stress and unhappiness is a big big part of that.<br />
<br />
Besides getting my license, I have two very busy kids~ stepson's on the Academic Team and has meets, daughter's in Jr. Beta, chorus & joined a run club. I visited family & friends during Fall Break earlier this month and with the upcoming holidays and knowing I'm not feeling up to NaNoWriMo next month at all, I think I'm going to step back into my life and try to figure out how to find true balance again. I know I don't have it.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure I'll post anymore of the recipes I had slated for the rest of the year, but will try when I think of it. Same goes for the Sunday Snippits. And I will post from time to time, if the mood strikes me. If anyone is interested in taking a Tuesday or Thursday spot for some promo, please feel free to email me and let me know. <br />
<br />
To close out today, here's an inspirational blogpost I JUST happened upon today that brought me tears and reminded me that I am NOT alone in being a TIRED writer. I just hope I find my way out of Tired, as well- very soon!<br />
