Time for the Insecure Writers Support Group. One insecurity is that I'm three days late on my post! Thank you to Alex Cavanaugh for hosting this awesome meme.
Since it's rare to make a living as an author, I'm sure many of us have day jobs. I'm a psychologist, and I've been wrapped up in writing and delivering two big presentations the past week (hence the delay in my post). I traveled all the way to Big Sky, Montana for my first presentation.
I'm not much of a skier, but I did decide to try cross country skiing with two psych buddies. I felt like I was about to fall every second, even on flat ground, but at least it was a sunny day. It was great to see friends and mentors.
When I returned home I scrambled to prepare another presentation, and this one went well too. I'm glad to be done with presentations for a while!
Writing has been at a standstill since I FINISHED my fourth novel! Yahoo. On Best Behavior (The Conduct Series #3) is on submission with my publisher.
And finally, I'm excited about the approach of Valentine's Day (aka Singles Awareness Day) because it's my birthday AND Omnific Publishing will give away three loaded Kindles to celebrate their third anniversary. Stop back on the 14th to enter the giveaway.

Isn't it gorgeous? A big sky indeed. I teamed up with four other psychologists to present on gender issues in my field. I mentioned how I didn't get one job because I wasn't "a guy's guy". Yep, I'm not!

Looks like a beautiful place to ski, what a great picture. Happy Birthday Jen and congrats on finishing your fourth novel!!
In this little workshop/study thing I'm doing, it said to take the time to let three people who you consider to be a joy in your life know how you feel - so it was quite the coincidence to fire up the laptop and have a comment from you. You are a joy in my life, my dear, and I'm so happy this writing thing has brought you into my sphere. :)
Thanks for stopping by, Smashie! This is the first novel I've finished since finding my publisher so it feels extra special.
Happy Birthday (I came to this post a bit late, too - hangs head in shame.)
Congrats on the fourth book!
