I figured that by simply titling this blog, "Chuck Norris," lots of people would want to read it. Sorry, I have that crazy song running through my head these days and I can't seem to leave it alone. You know, the "You Can't Stop Chuck Norris," song. In case, you haven't had the pleasure, here's a link to it: Chuck Norris.
Lately I haven't gotten to do much writing. I've just been trying to keep my head on straight, dealing with morning sickness and my husband's knee injury. We're having one of those years already. It's bound to get better, so I'm trying to stay optimistic. Fortunately, I'm entering the second trimester of my pregnancy and the morning sickness has let up some. I'm actually starting to feel a little more energetic, too. This is good because I've got lots to do this summer to get ready for the new baby.
Aside from that, I've been doing lots of thinking about the third installment in the Rona Shively series. I've been thinking that I don't much like the direction I'm headed in and I'm most likely going to rewrite the entire thing. Something about it just isn't clicking for me. Although I hate to scrap what I have, I know I wouldn't be happy with the story going out as it is. So, I'm starting fresh and hopefully, I'll have something wonderful by the time it is all said and done.
For those of you who might be waiting for the next Rona Shively story, just bear with me. I promise to have a great story out by next year. Keep checking my blog and my website for information. I'll try to post updates over the next few months.
Until next time...

I didn't come for Chuck Norris, but I did have fun. I always come read your blogs because I enjoy them so much. I just wanted to say I hope you survive pregnancy. I know I've been there three times and frankly I'm amazed at your ability to form complete thoughts. I never could! :) I hope it continues to improve.
