I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house?

Leave any prayer requests in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request or e-mail me. If I forgot your prayer request, email me. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray ONE Sunday.
I’m trying something new with my Sunday Prayer. I’m really bad about doing it on Sunday, so I’ll be updating it during the week.

Dear Lord, thank you for today.
I pray for complete healing for Bruce, Doug, Malia, Helen, Kelli, Kristy, and Tony.
Please deliver justice to Case swiftly. I lift up him and his family to you.
Help Christopher with his exams, especially his last paper due tomorrow.
Please help me finish everything I need to do.
Amen.

Anyways, I have a neurosurgeon apt today at 12:30 AM EST. He is a new Doc. Can you pray that it goes well? And that he is a good listener. And that he will do the surgery just like the last neurosurgeon offered? And that he will get me in ASAP? (The fist doc was too fast in apt. time and for his exam. (His speed sort of worried me.)
