It's Friday. Which means one thing...I have to work tomorrow. Ugh. My company asked for volunteers this weekend and when enough people didn't volunteer, they made us. Haha. So I'll be working. But I'll just be over here pretending that I can relax tomorrow and sip margaritas. I love the lyrics to this song so I wanted to share it. "Ain't it fun? Living in the real world?"

I've thought a lot about success lately. How it affects us as writers and how it affects us on our writing journey. First, let's start with the definition of success. According to the dictionary, success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. What I love most about this definition its simplicity. It's so mindnumbingly simple. You set a goal.

I practically fainted when I heard about this book. I'm a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, so I was beyond excited to hear about a YA novel coming to a bookshelf near you! Have you heard of an upcoming YA book called Lock & Mori? Well. Get ready. Check out Lock & Mori In modern-day London, two brilliant high school students, one Sherlock Holmes and a Miss James "Mori" Moriarty, meet. A murder will bring them together.
