This is what I've been up to lately:
Today my sweet Naomi Rose is one year old!
Where did the time go? (That is not a rhetorical question. You can answer in the comments. *wink*)
In other happy news, I finished another draft of my China book and am making eyes at my critique partners to see who has time to read it. I'm a little nervous because I have sweat blood over this project and am hoping it doesn't turn out to be a piece of trash.
Need to remind myself that just like any journey, it's all about baby steps.
On Thursday I have a very special guest post planned, so please come back and read. The amazing Jen Daiker will be visiting from her blog Unedited. I always love reading about other writers' journeys and I know you'll enjoy Jen's perspective. She has a lot of good news on her blog lately, so if you don't already follow Jen, pop over there and say hi!
Oh my gosh how adorable! And that little giggle ;) how precious!
ReplyDeleteWatching that video put the biggest smile on my face. Happy birthday to your sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember those moments! I miss them. My kid's ready to walk off to college now.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, baby steps. I've been taking them for over a year now. I swear, nothing teaches patience quite like writing a novel.
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I left you awards over at my blog!!
Pop on over and get em' :)
What a cutie! I love it when kids are just learning to walk.
ReplyDeleteSo time? It packed up and moved into the sunny Yellow House down the street. :D That street would be in California, though.
That's so cute! My son will be two in April. I'm still trying to get use to the idea of being a mom, never mind a mom of a two-year-old!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy .. great to see - and lovely that you have her first steps there forever .. just wonderfully inspiring .. clever Naomi! Enjoy her days .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteDarn it, you make me almost want another one :-)
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! I love every step along the way of both motherhood and writing. It's fun to share them with you, too. :) (Although, the terrible two's and waiting to hear back from editors could shorten themselves up a bit and I wouldn't complain much, as long as we got the time back in other areas! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your ms is NOT a piece of trash! ha. But, still it's scary to send it out into the world.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gosh. I just realized that's how I feel about my two HS Senior boys!!! I am so worried to send them out into the world!! Did I do a good enough job preparing them?!
YIKES.
Maybe I should go back and look at pictures of them when they were one. *sigh*
Oh she is adorable! I love those first steps!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'm sure your book will be brilliant, and I can't wait for it to be published.
Already following Jen, she rocks.
I'm confident Naomi Rose will love the manuscript, especially the crunchy parts.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Former Baby
I miss those days. Now mine just curse and act like two year olds. :P
ReplyDeleteShe's so adorable.
Good luck with the project, Amy!
I loved the video. What a charmer! Congrats on finishing the China book. Did you grin at your husband like your sweetie-pie?
ReplyDeleteThey grow up so fast! Great analogy between her walking and our writing. New follower!
