About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

What Learning?
War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger... We are always learning. What are you learning now?

I don't feel like I'm learning new things. Maybe I just don't realize that I am. I know I could learn patience because I totally suck at it. I want what I want and I hate waiting. That's probably my biggest character flaw. *Laugh*

In the house now I suppose I am learning how not to do everything myself. My daughter-in-law is pretty terrific at stepping up and making dinner, cleaning the house, doing dishes. She has a tendency to block me from the sink when I've made dinner and then proceeds to do the clean up. It's strange for me to step back and let someone else do the things I'm so used to doing. Her and my son even do some of the shopping now. They are pretty considerate when they go out, always asking if I need anything.

On the writing front, I like to think of it as always learning, growing, becoming a better writer. Learning how to tighten sentences to make them stronger. This I believe will always be an ongoing process.

Since the work computer was fried last week, and my laptop has been all messed up, I'm learning two new web browsers. It's funny to me because I love change. I am constantly moving furniture, rearranging things, but when it comes to my web browser I lose my mind. It's the one thing I want to learn to navigate once. Now I've got Edge at work and I'm hating it every time I open it. I had to switch to Firefox from Chrome on my personal pc because Chrome kept crashing. Ah, that patience thing is so needed right now. I'm not liking Firefox either, and it's not like I haven't used it before. I'll probably be happier with Firefox when I can figure out how to make the screen bigger.
