What Can I Say?

Updates:

For the billionth time, the wedding planning is going fine. It's funny how when you're engaged, and your a woman, the one question nearly everyone asks you is "So...how's the wedding planning coming?" I'm not going to say "Oh just horrible!" even if it was (which it's not). Not too many people ask me but I do get this a lot at work. Sometimes I just don't have any updates. I'm not working on it 24/7 and neither is Dan. We have things moving at a good pace. The wedding is still some months off and we already have the wedding party minus a ring bearer, photographer, dj, cake plans all set, place for wedding booked & catered (still need to choose menu), plans for invites, flower plans set, ideas about table gifts, wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, and soon groom/groomsmen gear. Plus, someone to perform the ceremony (thank you Sam). So things are going well. The thing I'm most worried about really is what to do for a honeymoon.

Still on the search for a larger place to live. It's really REALLY needed. We have far too much stuff but I will NOT give up my books.

Frustrations with work but all stuff that I can't say on a public forum. Things I can deal with though and that is good...just very frustrating at times.

The one thing that I need to get my ass into gear on is writing. I have a 'writing partner' now (thank you thank you thank you) and have been sending a few things his way to take a look at and give his thoughts to, so now I just need to pick up where I left off, with chapter six I think. I don't know why it's so hard for me to sit down and pay attention to a story that I've been thinking about and thinking about every day. Probably because I'm afraid I'm not really that good at writing. I've put myself out there in the past and got limited success. I've let that discourage me when I know I shouldn't have. So now I'm missing out on the pleasure of writing. I want to get stuff out there but I don't want to fail. Makes me think I should just write for myself. But one of my goals in life is to publish just one book. I'd love to publish more but I'd feel like I reached my goal with just one. First is the writing of it...for whatever reason my big obstacle. Any tips on motivation?

That's all for now....I'll try to make the next post more interesting!
