What Does It Mean?

My friend, Chrys Fey, was doing some research and found my blog on this list of top Romance blogs. What does that mean? I don't know. But my blog is on some lists so I'm going to feel a little bit famous for a little while. Okay. the feeling is gone.

There were so many great trailers coming out of SDCC that I couldn't pick one to include. Wonder Woman, Justice League and so many others look so great! Go to Comic Con's home and look at everything!

I really wanted to go see Star Trek this weekend but I promised my daughter I'd wait and see it with her. That way she and I can fan-girl over Chris Pine together. Only two more weeks until she's home from Morocco.

I'm glad it's so hot out. Gives me reason to be outside since I love the heat and there is NOTHING of interest for me on TV. I'm currently re-watching the second season of Daredevil when I need some video entertainment. I'm taking in Killjoys on SyFy Friday nights but I'm not in love with it. Ripper Street is coming back to BBC America soon so I'll watch that. Good thing that I have dozens of books I want to read.

Besides getting back into a more vigorous exercise routine, I'm really watching my health in other ways. I'm trying to remember to take my B12 every day and my CoQ10 though I miss days on occasion. B12 has many benefits for your circulatory and nervous systems and may help you battle fatigue. Many people need to take a B12 supplement when they get older. CoQ10 does so many things I'll just link to the information. If you're over 40, your doctor may have advised you to take this vitamin-like supplement. You should now that you know what they mean.

If you're feeling a little achy after a workout, eat a salad. Lettuce contains 2-10 parts of morphine per billion. How much does that mean you would have to eat to help the pain?

Next week will see the start of August.  For a great post today, visit IWSG where Anne R. Allen

is our guest. And don't forget the question for August if you want to post about it. You don't have to but it might stimulate some discussions.
What was your first piece of writing as an aspiring author? Where is it now? Collecting dust or has it been published?

Any good shows to recommend for the summer? Did you see Star Trek yet? Do you take any health supplements that aren't prescribed? Did you see any Comic Con trailers that excited you for what's to come?

Wish List

I guess most writers have becoming a bestselling author or having one of their novels made into a movie.  Those interviews on the morning 'news' shows would be great stuff when our publisher flies us to New York.  Ahh, dreams. 

But besides those biggies I have some things on my writer's wish list I intend to make happen.  One of these days, maybe even next year, I'm going to attend BEA and grab up lots of goodies and meet some of my favorite authors.  I've heard you can get lots of freebies, T-shirts, pens, candy, totes and BOOKS! I'm going to do it.

I'm going to attend one of the big 'cons' like the recent ComicCon.  I think all my children would love to go along to one of those.  That wish is a little further in the future but I'm still going to do it.

Not next year but perhaps the year after, I want to go on a writer's retreat.  I'm not sure where or when, but I do know what I want.  Writers, a private room, a peaceful outdoor setting for long walks, someone to fix meals and make coffee, and time to write, write, and write.

What things are on your wish list that you can make happen rather than just hope they some about someday?  Have you even done a writer's retreat? Where?
