I was so excited, thought I had found a great storyline for my novel. It still might work, but I just saw the latest Die Hard movie and was disappointed to find that they had used a great portion of my idea for my novel (which was very exciting). I don't want to look like a copy cat so I am going to have to rethink the direction I was going with my novel. Of course the main characters in my novel are a school teacher and a mother of 6, very different then the Bruce Willis hardcore police man type and I hadn't thought of the sudden take down everything approach the bad guys in Die Hard use.
I had a wonderful birthday. I always look at birthdays as a mile stone, a time to grow up just a little bit more make some changes, reevaluate my life, that sort of thing. I have no regrets in my choice of husband, my children, our home I definitely could use my time more wisely, but funny as it sounds, I think I am becoming more efficent time wise so I can get more done and still enjoy a book, a show, even a computer game once in a while. Even better if I could cut back more and focus on more serious things like writing more, being a better scriptorian, more updated, more well read, contribute more.
I'm all about balance and trying to find that perfect balance in life, it has to be contantly changing to be a good balance for where you are that day and what your circumstances are, I think contentment comes with finding the right balances in life, for your own personal life.

How wonderful to realize you have as good an imagination as someone who wrote the screenplay for a block buster movie. It takes two years to get a book published after it is accepted. A year to write it. A while to edit it so you are looking at a minimum of three years. By then, the plot of Die Hard will just be a faint memory. Besides that, there are almost no new stories, just variations of old ones. Take heart. I love your book. And you. And loved that you shared your birthday with us. That was the ultimate compliment for us. We cherish it. Thank you.
