I've done some blog hopping over the weekend and found it altogether depressing.   A lot of the author blogs I visited talked about the writing industry, the latest publishing news and gave tips to would-be writers.  Other blogs focused more on the authors personal lives, their interesting hobbies and exotic travels.  And it depressed me.

I think what I'm suffering is blog envy.  Part of the problem is there is no focus to my blog.  I'm not targeting writers, would like to focus on my readers, but my life isn't exactly the stuff of fantasies!

Most of the day is spent with my butt in my chair in front of my computer.  What traveling I do is through the fictional lives of my characters and even then I tend to write characters from small towns in the midwest, not foreign cities or romantic islands.

I've tried to develop hobbies but I always resent the time they take away from my writing.  I made a couple of ugly beaded necklaces, crocheted a blanket that I wouldn't let my dog sleep on and painted some bird houses that the birds posted For Sale signs on.

So, dear readers, I guess you're stuck with the mundance details of my life for the time being.  Hope I don't put you to sleep too often!

Take care,

Carla
