Hi Everyone.

I trust that you’re tucked in and staying warm this week. If you’re in North America the Polar Vortex has swept down over Canada and the United States leaving freezing temperatures everywhere.

Have I ever told you I don’t like the cold? lol…I don’t like the heat either. I suppose you could call me Goldilocks… Okay. Okay. I’m not really that bad… but I do admire the stubbornness of cats.

Anyway, back to this last week. Other than cold it was rather uneventful. The quarantine and restrictions remain in place and the confusion over vaccines is so ridiculous I couldn’t help but just shake my head, turn off the news, and ignore the whole business.

Unless it’s good news I really don’t want to hear it.

So this week for Auntie Says I concentrated on the idea of self care and personal power. Hey, why would you wait for someone to send you a Valentine’s Day gift. Treat yourself and don’t rely on someone else for your happiness. Find it within.

For My Twisted Writer Brain there’s a concentration on the industry for now.

Take a look at the Explanation of the Publishing World and then an interview with my literary agent Stacey Kondla.

Another great thing this week was I able finally able to send out another newsletter. Whoop Whoop. I’m still climbing a huge learning curve in preparing the newsletter but I’m getting better and better. If you didn’t receive it or would like a copy, let me know. This month there was TWO pdfs for FREE download. The first being a worksheet on building characters and the other a great poster to hang at your workstation for those dang filler words. If you didn’t get the newsletter and would like to subscribe you can do so here. Just leave a comment telling me and I’ll make sure you get the latest newsletter.

As we get closer to Valentine’s Day, I wish you all well and hope you treat yourself if you want. Stay tuned for a bunch of fun stuff coming up soon. So much on the back burner…I can’t wait to tell you, but ….

Talk soon.
