"Glittering Secrets" - The FILM


Update on the project of my book becoming an independent film

I still can't get used to saying that....but, it looks like this is going to be a reality! Fast Track Productions is handling the film and we are looking for funding. I'm also pursuing Ashley Judd for the lead role. Hopefully, we can get her to join the cast.

I'm also doing the screenplay and my fingers are typing as fast as they can! Thank God for templates! Life is good!

Want to see a teaser of what the book is about?

Pro Bono

Granted, I haven't made that much money from my writing....but today, it was time to do something "pro bono"..."Free"...whatever you want to call it.

I had a client email me and asked me to write his memoirs. I won't go into it, but he is disadvantaged, and I wanted to give something back. It's so easy for my fingers to dance across the keyboard, and I don't give it another thought. After reading some of his emails, I began to think about it.

So, I'm doing something I want to do. Because I'm the boss.

Did I mention that my favorite 4 letter "F" word is "Free"??

Thank you God, for letting me do something "pro bono".

Lost and Found

Have you ever been to the lost and found department? It could be at a department store, a restaurant, airport...anywhere.

Losing a set of keys, umbrella or whatever is irritating and can be upsetting to say the least. We've all done it, and we feel that relief when someone finds it and returns it safely to us.

But, what if we lose something far greater? What if we lose our footing in this life? What then? What if we have everything going for us: Talent, intelligence, and personality. But we keep taking a bad fall?

I would hope that they would surround themselves with friends. Because sometimes, you don't need a pep talk, you don't need a lecture.

Sometimes you just need someone to listen.

You know who you are. I know you read my blog, I'm ready to listen.

The Internet is a great thing....

I tell you, there is nothing quite like the feeling of opening your email in the morning and seeing the subject line read "Marketing help needed" and it's from an individual or business. Or, "I need a Writer! for overload work" . It just warms the cockles of my heart! I love it even more when I can toss some work to fellow colleagues and friends.

Happy Cinco DeMayo! By the way, if anyone is reading my blog, I would love to hear from you. I have a feeling my words are not making it "out there".

Prove me wrong!
