Thanks for stopping by my universe. It's all casual here so kick off your shoes, relax and enjoy your visit. Well my name is Wendy and I reside in Neverland with my bestest friend ever, Peterpan. Other than the green tights he's a pretty cool fellow. He did teach me to fly after all. Anyway, it's great to live in another place and time which is why I like to write stories.

The title of my [yet to be published] book is, are ya ready for this, I hope you like it. It's...it's...drum roll please...yes, bongos will do. These guys never get it right. Here we go if you can hear me through the dreaded Bongo noise in the background. It's LEMONADE FOR CHRISTMAS. Sound cool? Well it is cool. I love it. It's my fifth baby and one day I will send it out into that 'real world', away from the security of Neverland and it will hopefully find its way into your home.

The book is now in the process of revisions, and revisions, and revisions..... I figured starting a blog was another way to keep my baby home longer. Ahhh, what would we have if we didn't have diversions. I know-probably a completely revised published novel. Diversions feel so good though. They feel like a refreshing bubble bath after playing in the snow. Problem is most things that feel really good are not so good for you.

I could use excuses all day long, but the real truth of it is that I want this so bad. It's like the one chance you get at love, or that balance beam routine (longtime gymnast), or a spelling bee, or anything that ever meant so much that the use of your entire heart and head are involved. It's that important...the most important, other than your 'real babies' (alright, I'll throw in the Hubby too, for safe measure), that you could ever want.

So the real fear here is either it will never be good enough, or it just might one day be good enough to make it and where will that leave me? Who will that leave me? Would my life change? Would I no longer have A DREAM? What would I do with my kids (okay, Hubby too) when I do my twenty city tour?

Well thanks for listening. I looooooove listeners, and readers. Feel free to leave a comment and come by again soon. Occasionally I serve Cybertini's, usually apple-yum!

Reading this is much better than talking to you on the phone. There is no yelling, no screaming, no tantrums, (from you) not to mention there are no kids around to turn your attention away!! WooHoo!!! I actually get to see what my sister is up to and what is going on in her life. Now that I know it's a dead mouse and the circus I think I'll just give you a call tonight...haha. Love the blog.
