Saturday Smaterday…
What are Saturdays to a writer? Not much. It’s not like we turn off the brain or close the office door and shut it down for the weekend (or at least I don’t). And even when we’re doing the happy family fun weekend thing our stories are still there in the back of our minds clawing their way to the front saying things like, you know you should be writing right now. Think of all that white space just waiting to be filled. Of course that is until you actually sit in front of the computer and get ready to write. Then it’s hush, hush silent hour and you’re left wondering who broke up the party.
But enough with my writerly rantings. I’m chiming in on a Saturday to send you over to another place for even more rantings… Like how I did that? Well, I’m over at the lovely Keisha Martin’s blog answering a few question on writing and how I keep things going. I’d love it if you stop on by there. Have a great Weekend! Tell me what are you getting up to today?

Time to Get Lost in the Season…
Happy Friday and Welcome this weekend to Autumn! This is my favorite time of year. I can officially slip on boots and pull out my collection of black turtlenecks without fear of looking like one of those overdressed, “are-those-long -sleeves-you’re-wearing?!” overly cold women. And I can sneer (not really , ok maybe) at all of the die-hard breezy top and denim short hangers on-ers like the summer dreamers that they really are. Time to get with the program and bundle up ladies, grab your nearest hot beverage and get with the chronic chillsters like me. Come on take a seat and relax!
And speaking of chilling, I’m chilling today with my buddy Maureen McGowan and the ladies over at Get Lost in Story where I’m answering a few questions and giving away a copy of THROUGH THE LENS! Stop on by and check it out if you have a chill moment. Thanks.
So tell me what do you love about the Fall season?

Babbling On…
Happy Monday!
Welcoming the week with a cheery smile and hoping you all had a great weekend. I had a great time as my fantastic block had is annual block party this weekend. Only postponed one day due to some scary storms and off tornadoes in New York, but the next day the sun was shining and the bouncy house came out.
The Jackster got into trouble early off after stealing two hot dogs in two minutes. Showing everyone that he’s not fit for mixed company. So embarrassing but that’s the Jack.
That said the party rolled on and today I’m a little tired but still ready to move and on my virtual blog tour.
Today I’m Super Excited to be over at Kate’s Babbling about Books babbling about Through The Lens. I’d love it if you’d stop on by and give my guest post a read. And after that please stay awhile. Kate has a fantastic review blog and I know you’ll become a fan as I am.
Have a great Monday.
Best,
Kwana
Not in Kansas anymore…
Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a wonderful and safe weekend. Can you believe tornadoes in New York yesterday? Just wild! So not in Kansas that’s for sure. But all is well over here today with a bright blue sky and shining sun. The way it is after most stormy days I guess.
Today I’m lucky enough to be over at fab author Becky Lower’s blog talking old romances and past influences. If you have a moment please stop on by here.
Have a great one!

Through The Lens release… The Remix!
So I’m a published author ya’ll, holla! Through The Lens is here. For better or worse. Gulp.
And with that I get to clean the clogged bathroom sink and say, “so I’m a published author ya’ll, HOLLA!” It still feels good to say it while I do it. And I do it with lots of attitude all sassy and Honey Boo Boo style while Jack gives me the crazy eye.
Thank you all so much for the well wishes yesterday. Please don’t forget to go here and enter my contest. It’s a good one!

Not for the me factor, I’m ok, but once you get there please browse around and get to know these fabulous, maybe new to you blogs. They are all terrific and I think you’ll become instant fans as I am.Today I’m over at author Synithia William’s blog talking about my how I became published and Through The Lens. Please stop on by and give it a read and a comment.

KwanaOptimistic Pessimism… a Blogiversary
I hope those who celebrated had a very Merry Christmas yesterday. Today at ye old blog we are celebrating our 4th Blogiversary!
Wow I can’t believe it’s been 4 years over at ye old blog. Honestly, it’s starting to feel like a marriage now or at the very least I should be graduating or getting some sort of certificate. But no, all that’s happening is it’s about to turn 2012 and still I don’t have that flying car that I those formative years of watching The Jetsons had me believing I would be having by the year 2012. I’m feeling a little duped about it all.
Oh well no use crying over cars that just go on wheels or dreams of years past. Time to move forward. Time for this strangely hopeful pessimist to start thinking about the year ahead. Someone told me this year would be the year of Kwana. I sure like the sound of that though I so find it hard to wrap my head around. See though I’m forever hopeful, I’m one of those ‘always waiting for the other shoe to drop’ type of folks. And I guess if you’re always waiting for that shoe to drop you can’t see the great boot trying to lift you from behind. I know bad analogy so I’ll just stop here and say… Thank you all so much for sticking with me these 4 years. The semi-famous Jackster thanks you too. And we are optimistic about great things for all of us in 2012. Cheers! Fingers crossed for fab boots for all of us!
So tell me, how are you thinking about the year ahead? Are you optimistic?
Much love,
KwanaEvery Day I’m A…
