Oh the Shame

I keep trying at this whole blogging thing thinking that maybe I will get the hang of it soon. I refuse to give up, because I have faith that I will eventually get it together. Just like with my many good starts to several books, I will conquer the many raging battles within! I can do this, at least that is what I will keep telling myself until I make a true believer out of me. I need more self-discipline and I plan to find every bit of it soon. In January, I said that 2014 and I still fully intend to make it happen.

I have been avoiding my laptop like it's the plague and out to kill me lately because the thought of sitting down to write scares the hell out of me. I want so bad for my dreams to come true. I struggle daily with the many urges to write, but I have managed to talk myself into the shadows of my mind. I find just about anything and everything to do besides put words out. No matter how hard I try, I manage to confuse myself with the plot lines to the point of no return. I am determined to quit discouraging myself and I believe that blogging will be a great start for me to get out the rut that I've been buried in.

So that being said, here I sit again at my desk typing away. I've always been a strong individual and refuse to let a little bit of self loathing get in the way of my future. It's time for me to get a serious game plan together and start making it happen again. This is me shouting from a mountain top that I will overcome and achieve the goals that I have set for myself. I NEED this to happen just like I need the air that I breathe.

Morning Glory by Sarah Jio

Anyone who knows me well enough, knows my love for Sarah Jio's books and Morning Glory is definitely my new favorite of hers. I now want a house of my own on Boat Street!

Sarah Jio's writing always lures me into the pages of every one of her stories. I always manage to get lost in her books. She's one of my favorite authors and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great story read. I also loved getting a glimpse of Jack and Emily's life since the book, Violets of March. That was my favorite book of hers and now I have another one to put up on the shelf next to it. I'm not one to read books over and over, because there are so many out there that I want to read and not enough time in my days. So far, I've read and listened to these two books several times. Her books are such an inspiration to me. I can only dream about writing such amazing stories for my readers to get lost in the pages with. 

I'm so ready to see her newest book on my kindle in a couple of weeks. I said that I was going to save it for my trip in June, but I'm just not sure that I will be able to stand it. I can't wait to see if it can top these two gems.
