Breathing slowly

Ah, yes. I think I've found the right background for me at this time. I am well aware that this is a summer picture and where I live, it's FREEZING and there's snow. Hence, the picture of summer. It feels soothing to me, restful, quiet and peaceful and that is what I'm looking for. It's very zen feeling. Take that deep breath. Can you feel it? It makes me breathe slowly.

I've been working on the book I wrote for nanowrimo. The editing is so much fun but I've bitten off all my fingernails without even realizing it while working! I know. It's a nasty habit and one that honestly, I don't have. I know it sounds like I'm lying, but normally, I never bite my nails. Like I said. Nasty habit. Don't know why I resort to it when under stress or feeling anxiety.

Back to the ms I'm working on. I can't wait to get this one out there. I really think it's going to sell. I have a really good feeling. My other ms that WiDo had for a year is kind of on the back burner. I don't know what I want to do with it. I will take it to LDS Storymaker's conf. in May, so I'll be working to polish it up too, but . . . well, we'll see. I have a one on one scheduled with one of the agents flying in. That excites me!

Well, off to editing! Just thought I'd stop in and say hi, so . . . hi!
