Odds and ends

Captain’s Log, Stardate 01.27.2006

Thanks to Heather, I figured out how to use the cool Citrus Moon background I found a few days go. What do you guys think?

My Monday book giveaway (THE TROUBLE WITH TULIP) is here.
My Thursday book giveaway (CALIFORNIA) is here.
You can still enter both of them. Just post a comment on those blog posts.
Next week Monday, I'll draw TULIP’s winner and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned.

I’m also totally excited to interview romantic suspense author Shirlee McCoy on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. I’m also giving away a copy of her latest novel, EVEN IN THE DARKNESS. Just post on either of the two days that I interview her, and I’ll draw a name the day after the interview (Thursday). Which is also when I draw the winner for CALIFORNIA.

Bible in 90 Days: day 19. I am amazed at how the Lord is teaching me about Himself. When He makes a promise, it stands no matter what. And David understood Him in ways I don't, at least not yet. Since the Lord had anointed Saul, David refused to kill him. He honored God’s anointing and promise, despite all the horrible things Saul did to David and against God. It makes me realize how I should think of my own leaders, no matter if I think they’re doing a good job or a bad job.

Writing: I finished my revised proposal—hopefully the Inciting Incident is strong enough, and the motivations more clear.

Diet: Well, since I haven’t eaten much today, I haven’t done too badly. :) I had to cancel PT—I have some, er, intestinal problems. Something I ate, although I don’t know what. Lunch is a tuna sandwich (400). I was bad last night—since I ate dinner early, I was starving by midnight, but my midnight snack was larger than I should have eaten (500). I need to remember to snack on something if I eat early.
