Trifecta Challenge: 3 Word Resolutions

Sorry I haven't done much here or otherwise, but the busy holiday season sent me scampering here there and everywhere.

But I finally have a few spare minutes to check in and make a new Trifecta submission:

Michael Hess inspired us with his three word New Year's resolution;just be nice. We're asking for your own resolutions in just three words. Make it count; we'll be checking back in come 2015.

And since this is our ninety-ninth Trifextra challenge, we're giving away the journal shown below from Tricerashops, our Cafe Press shop, in a randomly drawn giveaway. All you have to do to be entered is to enter this week's challenge. Good luck and good writing.

So, here goes:

Publish My Book!

 Here's three more:

Finish Second Book!

Here's yet three more:

Outline Third Book!

And Lastly:

Write Third Book!

**********************************************

Technically I probably disqualified myself for official entry in this week's trifecta challenge, but this is more of a reminder to myself what I really want to accomplish in the upcoming year. I have a manuscript that needs a little polishing (for the nine-millionth time), the first in a trilogy that I want to publish and I will make this year my year and I will pass my son's legacy on to as many people and I possibly can. One of the many reasons, I feel, that Ukiah was brought into my life was to show me that I was capable of writing a book and also of doing something that was so much bigger than myself. I have to continue passing on his legacy by finishing the other two books in that series and by getting them out to the masses by any means necessary.

I don't talk about that book here much, but perhaps I should start. It's YA Paranormal and it deals with kids who have special needs, different diagnoses and limitations, but also abilities. Their limitations are also their powers, and that's how I chose to see every child with life limiting or special diagnosis. What we see as limitations and disabilities I chose to see as gifts. 

I will do it this year and if not I'll at least make great strides in trying. Wish me luck and check back here for updates.

Knowing a bit about the background of your life, I strongly encourage you to channel your energy into a book; especially one that turns "disabilities" on their ear! Good for you! Happy New Year and all the best in 2014. May your dreams of publishing and raising awareness come true. :)

Well..i never really wrote..until i lost effective use of my eyes sight about five years ago or so..

Or better yet put..i really couldn't write..much or even speak well..to be more concise..

But..after 7 million words in the last three years or so..

My short stories are everywhere i look all over the internet..Nice to know i can pick them up or share them wherever i go..as long as the internet connection and Google works..

And oh god..structure..is something i abhor..no more conforming to bind my soul or binders for books..but one day maybe i'll find a desire to publish too..so Happy New Year to ya...

But please if ya will..don't forget..you are already published here..

And no..not likely i would have ever read you..

if you only wrote books..and your words live forever..as long as servers live..so wow in a way..you even live forever..in the new electronic age...
