Love And Loyalty

Sorry about how long it has been since I have been on here! This blog will just be an update about what has been going on and where I have been. There is so much to share and I feel like time spent on the blog should be time spent on the book. I think my editor would say the same thing. He reminds often about how much writing I have to do. So I am going to break it down into the 2 biggest things that have been going on in the book world.

LOVE: Well you all know that I love my book. I am excited to say that the book finally has a title. My book will have about 10 chapters and so far all the chapters are titled. I don't think that we will add any chapters, but after last weekend that could have added another chapter. My editor was in Chicago. I normally go to Los Angeles, but he came here for a number of reasons. I feel like it is the most creative we have been together. One funny thing he said while he was here is that I have to try to relate to "women" more if I want to sell my book to them. It is true, so I am going to do my best to embrace them more. lol I have decided that as far as my blog I am going to try to blog once a week to keep you all informed. I won't take 3 weeks to blog again. Once a week is my goal considering I have real deadlines to get the book done.

Loyalty: This has probably been the most bothersome thing I am going to share in this blog. The past few weeks I have had to reevaluate a couple of relationships in my life. I guess not being loyal is one of those things that I can't tolerate. I got pushed passed the point of no return and decided that I had to cut 2 people out of my life. I have just decided that if I live with the philosophy that we really only have one chance to make the most of our life I am not going to allow people in my life at any capacity who call themselves my friend and every chance they get stab me in the back. I know it may sound harsh, but no more. I don't ask for a lot from people. I do require loyalty. It seems so easy, but I guess sometimes we go through these life lessons to keep us on track and make us appreciate those that really love us. Trust me I want to believe that these people wouldn't stab me in the back, but it has happened several times and I just can't say it is ok anymore. So, I have decided instead of feeling like I am going to lose my mind I am going to eliminate the drama.

I am going to continue to share bits and pieces of my book in future blogs. I have some fun topics I would like to blog about! Again, thanks everyone for being supportive of my book and blog.
