Skinny Soy Vanilla Latte

     I would like to commend everyone out there who live their lives working full time jobs while doing extra things with out the need for caffeine. I am 8 mos pregnant and have been trying my hardest to not drink any caffeine at all. But like any good coffee junky, I cheat. I will go for days with out any and, then in a moment of tired despair, I take in my daily allotted amount that I can as instructed by my doctor. It is an addiction that I do not wish to kick and I will happily go back to when I can. The funny part is I thought my passion for wine would be the hardest thing to go with out, but alcohol has become completely unappealing to me when I got pregnant.

      For right now, I am a writer with out her caffeine whose belly is the size of a blown up beach ball. You all have been warned.

    A side note, I am sure people will go back and read these posts wondering why I started the blog so early if I don't intend to publish my book right away. Well, to answer that question, I am working hard to make sure I am putting out the best work I can. Right now, I have some lovely friends who are my acting beta readers/editors. They are reading TOTEM while I work on the second book in the series Fleur-de-Lis. I love writing and do it passionately almost every day. I would rather sit on releasing my book knowing I am going to have a better product when I do than release something people would not enjoy.

     Secondly, I am hoping people will stumble upon my blog/twitter/facebook/whatever and be interested in what I have to say wondering if I could in fact write a book they would enjoy. If I could interest even one person by all my mindless writing in between writing, then I would have done my job.

   Also, I keep going back and forth between self publish or traditional publishing. From what I have been reading, both have their perks. There is neither a correct way or a wrong way now a days. Now it is mostly personal choice or serendipitous chance that causes people to arrive at one or the other. So please be patient while I continue my internal battle with how to release my books. Book I hope my readers will enjoy.

  Until then, I will be dreaming about a Starbuck's Skinny Vanilla Latte in a Venti cup.


Sincerely,

EM
