I am first????????????
ReplyDeleteHow can this be??????
COFFEE IS HERE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am listening to "Breath of Heaven" and working on a Christmas novella set in 1889....
What a different, non-commercial, lovely, industrious time.
We are so blessed. And a trifle foolish.
Tina!!!!
Thank you for a wonderful WE! CONGRATS TO ALL GAZILLION WINNERS THIS WEEK and a huge thank you to our guests and authors who contributed to celebrate TWO MILLION VIEWS!!!!
I am so crazy grateful to all 1,999,998 and even to the remaining two who were somewhat standoff-ish.
:)
TWO MILLION.
SPEEDBO.
This place rocks.
Good morning! I got up at 5:15 to get in training for Speedbo. I'm prepping this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great links, and have a great weekend!
Great WE. Love the advice from mom! Congrats to all the winners...but then everyone who visits Seekerville is a winner, right?
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday! Congratulations to all the winners...including myself! Yay! I love surprises. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great WE, Tina!
It's cold this morning in Charlotte, time for another cup of coffee.
Tina, thanks for another great weekend edition and for all your work and dedication to keep us informed and motivated to reach our goals.
ReplyDeleteRuthy, I don't know why you wouldn't be first all the time. I honestly don't think you ever sleep...nap, maybe, but sleep...LOL. I wish I had a fraction of your energy!
Good morning, Jackie.
I love the warmer weather that's hit north Alabama, but now that small signs of spring are starting to appear (and our indoor puppy is starting to shed) it's time for my seasonal allergies to hit. I woke up this morning with sinus drainage, sore throat, and a cough. So it looks like I will spend my Speedbo prepping weekend vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning to get rid of allergens and germs. Plus, I'll be drinking plenty of hot tea with lemon, honey, and ginger.
Good morning, Seekerville!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I signed in under the wrong name last week and I won a prize! I guess "Mary" has been missing Seekerville.
Suddenly I feel like watching The Patti Duke Show. Please tell me I don't sound totally insane and someone else knows what I'm talking about!!!
Great WE, Tina. Thanks for all the links to explore.
Congrats to all the winners. :)
Great Weekend, Tina! Fun to see that long list of winners this week!! I'm thrilled with those 2 million viewers. Wow, Seekerville rocks!
ReplyDeleteWish I could plop into Missy and Debby's talks today. I'd love every minute listening to their wisdom and cheering them on. Have a great time, gals!
I'm signed up for Speedbo and ready to go!
Janet
Good morning, Seekerville! Yet another jam-packed issue of the Weekend Edition. Thank you, Tina!
ReplyDeleteTWO MILLION. That still boggles my mind! Thank you Seeker Villagers!! And congrats to all this week's winners!
MARY C -- You're NOT insane. I know what you're talking about. :)
And now we have a final weekend in February (PLUS an extra day!) ahead of us to prep for Tuesday's 2016 Speedbo launch! I hope to diligently write today and build up momentum on my current WIP to carry into March.
Ruthy you listen to Christmas music to get you in the mood to write a Christmas novella?
ReplyDeleteWow, I think I need to go listen to some rousing gold miner music.
Or maybe Youtube has a video of someone chiselling.
:(
I do have tips for Speedbo but I'm open to YOUR TIPS TOO! START COLLECTION ADVISE TO SHARE!
ReplyDeleteIt's COLD in Charlotte, JILL? How cold is cold there?
ReplyDeleteRHONDA -- Sorry about the allergies right here when Spring is finally starting to peek out in the South. Sounds like a good plan to clean house this weekend so you can be ready to go full speed ahead this month!
ReplyDeleteAh, JACKIE got up early to warm up for Speedbo, too! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners!
ReplyDeletei woke up to a sore throat and cough this morning. Hoping it disappears by Tuesday because I am beginning Speedbo sick or not.
I wrote the End on my third book yesterday
Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm feeling odd today.
ReplyDelete:( It's nice outside and yet, as a Nebraskan I absolutely know better than to believe in SPRING in February.
A Poem
by Mary Connealy
Winter's icy cruelty lures me into false hope only to descent icy truth upon my scarfless neck.
WILANI -- Sore throat. Not good. So many nasty colds & flu are roaming the countryside. Sounds as if you're determined to "carry on" through Speedbo, though!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on THE END! That's fantastic!
I can relate to your poem, MARY! I know better than to think winter is done with us in the high country this early in the year when most years we get healthy snowfalls on through March and April...and even a few inches in May. The National Weather Service says we haven't see the last of El Nino in our part of the country despite this warm dry spell in February.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all winners....I am happy to be one! Agreeing with Debby "everyone who visits Seekerville is a winner, right?" ....such a wonderful place to visit. I am thankful for it!
ReplyDeleteDebby, I'm so excited about your re-release with Emma Miller! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all our winners from last week! I hope you all have a great weekend.
Mary/Cate you just have a lot of names to keep up with! You're not crazy. :)
ReplyDeleteRhonda, I hope it's just allergies and that you feel better. I hope you're not getting the crud I had last week.
ReplyDeleteWilani, I'm sorry you're sick, too! Uh oh, Ruthy. I think we passed our germs along.
ReplyDeleteANYONE IN SOUTH CAROLINA...I hope you'll come see me today! 2:00 pm.
ReplyDeleteI'm nervous. Always get nervous when I speak.
So many great links chock full of great advice. I clicked about 3 of them ... and the Ted Dekker one is LONG. Will have to save it for later.
ReplyDeleteAre these designed to lure me away from writing?
I need to write an article that says, "Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, and go WRITE!"
lol
Thanks for another great WE, TINA! Wow--2 million views! That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteMISSY, you'll do great. When you spoke at our meeting a few years ago, it was one of our best turnouts!
Must get busy on the usual Saturday chores. Hubby is waiting for me downstairs so we can pay bills, then it's on to cleaning. Last month we rethought our strategy and decided to divide the house into four sections. We clean one section every weekend, so if anyone ever wants to visit, let me know and I'll figure out which part of the house will be presentable enough to give you access.
Guess what's on the schedule for today. That's right, the upstairs. Which includes my office, the most cluttered room in the house.
YAY, TINA, ANOTHER STELLAR WE!!
ReplyDeleteSUPER CONGRATS to all our winners this week, although ALL of us are winners because we belong to Seekerville, right??? LOL ... just saw that Deb made the same statement, so it MUST be true!!
Ruthy said: "I am first???????????? How can this be??????
Because you get up before the roosters, my friend!!
And TWO MILLION page views STILL blows me away!! Here's to another two million in record time ...
Jackie said: "I got up at 5:15 to get in training for Speedbo. I'm prepping this weekend."
Oh, way to guilt me, Jackie!! ;) Seriously, you go, girl!! :)
Hugs and HAPPY WEEKEND, ALL!!
Julie
hahahaha, Mary Curry signed in under the wrong name again. Way to go Patty and Cathy!!
ReplyDeleteCue Rocky music. Speedbo prep has begun!!!
ReplyDeleteI get here,and all the things I want to say have already been said!
ReplyDeleteAll visitors to Seekerville ar winners. ✅
Seekerville rocks✅
Great WE edition again✅
Congratulations to the gazillion winners✅
THANK YOU TINA. YOU ROCK!
ReplyDeleteMary said: "Suddenly I feel like watching The Patti Duke Show. Please tell me I don't sound totally insane and someone else knows what I'm talking about!!!"
Far be it from me to tell ANYONE that THEY are "insane" with my track record, but I'm drawing a blank, Mare, and I LOVED the Patti Duke show, so fill me in!!
WHOO-HOO, WILANI -- congrats on wrapping up book 3!! Now to tackle book 4 in Speedbo!! But first, we need to get rid that impending cold, so praying right now ...
MARY C SAID: "( It's nice outside and yet, as a Nebraskan I absolutely know better than to believe in SPRING in February."
Smart girl. :)
Missy, I agree with Myra -- you wilL be AWESOME today, and sending some prayers your way to ease the nerves.
Glynna -- LOVE the new cover!!! Missy, yours is soooo cute with that adorable baby, makes me want to have one all over again. Will do the next best thing and read your book instead ... ;)
Debby!!! OMG, I LOVE that cover on your reissue -- talking about drawing readers in!!
Okay ... if Ruthy can listen to Christmas music to write her Christmas novella, I can drink peppermint tea to write mine, right???
Hugs and Happy Weekend!
Julie
What a fun WE! And thank you in advance for the surprise package. I'm tickled to be a winner. :) Congratulations to all the winners this weekend.
ReplyDeleteRUTHY—You inspire me. I'll just leave it at that. Oh, and I think, "Breath of Heaven" Is on of my absolute favorite Christmas songs. Ever. :)
WILANI—I hope you feel better soon.
JACKIE—You GO!
Thank you, Seekerville for being the amazing encouragers you are!
Congratulations to the awesome winners and to Seekerville! Two million! Woohoo! That sure is something! Thanks Tina for a great WE as always. 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruthy for the coffee. I didn't sleep well last night at all and feel very sluggish this morning. A strong cup is what I need. Many thanks! A pretty day here in Maryland and here's to a blessed weekend to you all.
Happy Weekend everyone! I'm excited I won Glynna's book!
ReplyDeleteWell must get back to writing. I am actually getting a short story ready to send in the mail today.
I won a surprise! Oh boy, oh boy! Congrats to all the winners . That's a long list.
ReplyDeleteWil return to read links later ... with a nice glass of iced tea. Freakishly warm weather for February, but it helps make up for the record snowfall a year ago today :-)
Happy weekend to all!
Nancy C
Hope you feel better, Wilani. Sleep is the best way to beat it. Take a nap.
ReplyDeleteMarianne Barkman, how do you make those cool check marks. You techno savvy gal, you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Seekerville for my LIH win....and congratulations to the other gazillion winners!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cover, Glynna! I want to sit on that porch and enjoy the view. Congrats to Debby on the re-release. Wish I could attend the talks by Debby and Missy.
Great WE, Tina! Love the "If you need a sign....." sign. My sign was flashing last week, so I'm all signed up for Speedbo and got an early start yesterday in #1k1hr, plus I have a casserole and a few Lean Cuisine dinners in the freezer. Thanks for the links. The "first book mistakes" article helps me focus.
Mary/Cate, it took me awhile, but now I can say you're not crazy....just have me wanting to look up episodes.
Hope those feeling under the weather, some because of the weather, are better soon.
Happy weekend of reading, writing, and Speedbo prepping to all!
Hello all! I just wanted to wish everyone luck with Speed-bo. I'm not going to participate this year. :( I've spent the last month in my own speed-bo as I've been editing a book for an R & R. It's due March 6th. After that I'm going to take a little break and spend some time with poor neglected hubby. We've got a little mini-getaway planned for the next weekend and I'm pretty sure if I brought along my laptop, he might throw it out of the car.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll be cheering all of you along!
Thanks for a great weekend and congratulations to all the winners! I am so excited to win a surprise giveaway!!! Thank you so much! I have no idea what it is, but I am so excited. I know it will be great! Thank you! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Can't wait for Speedbo!
ReplyDeleteOh my. Hubby just helped me go through several stacks of books that were advancing across my office floor. I have way too many!!!! Must figure out what to do with them all. Eight copies have just been committed to the FH&L Inspirational Readers Choice contest. Didn't even make a dent.
ReplyDeleteGreat WE, Tina!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see I won a LIH book! Thank you!!!
Now back to the synopsis and scene chart--getting ready for Speedbo! Yay!
Congrats on writing THE END again, Wilani!!! Sorry you're sick. Hope you feel better soon!
Haha, Mary Connealy, I love your poem. :))
Praying for you as you speak, Missy! Wish I was in South Carolina!
Wow, Lots of winners this week. Congratulations. woo hoooo
ReplyDeleteAnd my mind still boggles at 2,000,000 views. Whew!!! What a wonderful blessing.
Thank you Seeker sisters, Seekerville friends and all who have made this possible. Special thanks to Tina who made all of this possible.
Blessings and hugs
I am so excited to see who makes a match in the LIH contest!!! GO VILLAGERS!!!!
ReplyDeleteYa know, I think I forgot to thank you for my surprise -- so thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the link 'Practical Ways to Handle the Passage of Time in Fiction (Aliventures).' That blog post and the links following the post were exactly what I needed to help me figure out how to handle 5 days in a WIP. Boy was the 'Behind the Scam' post an eye-opener. I wondered how there could be so many Amazon best-sellers. I printed off the Publishing Acronyms, although I do like the rather creative interpretations I came up with for some of them before I saw the list ...
Nancy C
So excited to be a winner of a LIH book! I sure do love Seekerville! Thanks a bunch!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha....someone mentioned that Ruthy gets up before the roosters so that's why she's the first commenter!! Or maybe she drinks too much coffee...hmmmm...must ponder this more.
ReplyDeleteHey BIG congrats to all this weeks winners (myself included), you ladies are so generous! There's some great books just waiting to be read once in hand :-) Enjoy everyone! Can't believe 2 million views, it still boggles the mind. Seekerville's a hopping popular place.
I wish all you authors success in the month of March for Speedbo! May your words come easy, your plots fall into place & God bless the work of your hands. Praying each one of you makes your personal writing goals!
I'm looking forward to another fantastic week on Seekerville, looks like some great posts. I'm a bit partial to Melanie, so am especially looking forward to that one on Wednesday!
Lastly, please add my name for a surprise package of books....one can never have too many! Blessings everyone....thanks for a great WE Tina!
Don't forget that you winners must actually go to seekers@seekerville.net to CLAIM your prize :)
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie. The freedom when they changed the rules so poems don't have to rhyme.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing!
Rhonda, I swear that this is God's fault. First, he made me, and I think the freneticism was part of the package.
ReplyDeleteAnd then he put me in New York for a DOUBLE WHAMMY!!!!! The whole New York minute thing!!!
And then he started waking me up in the middle of the night and whispered, "If you want to write, do it now! No one will bother you!"
And he was right!!! :)
I loved the Patty Duke show!
ReplyDeleteAnd she played an Amish woman in some TV movie that I really liked, too.
Rhonda, I was so distracted by you saying my name and nice things about me, I missed the allergy part, sweet thing. So sorry!!!! Ahhhh..... Choo!!!!
Well, my 20 inches of snow is still melting, so my bulbs are somewhat buried still, no matter what the groundhog says... all I know is we gain an hour of evening light next week, which everyone here will welcome with open arms!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will tuck myself in my rabbit hole and write!
Cue Rocky music???? AKA: RUTHY'S RING TONE!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTheme from "Rocky"
I love this music! It fits!!!! :)
Wilani, I just finished a monster cold.
ReplyDeleteI was sick and whiny.
But my fingers weren't.... so I made them type!
Go for it, my friend! Tissues at your side!
You know Rufus, we are like ships that pass in the night. I go to bed as you wake up!
ReplyDeleteTina, this is perfect! I'll serve the coffee and Danish to our friends and you can rest and we'll all meet for lunch!!!!
ReplyDeleteTrixi, I am up before the rooster, which means he's a slacker bird!!! But in another six weeks or so, he'll be crowing when I come downstairs... they generally start about an hour pre-dawn, so in May, June and July, he joins me around 4:00-4:30 AM.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is a new, young rooster named Sparky, and he's got the oddest crow!!!! I'm not sure if it will get more normal as he matures, but we'll see! Right now Sparky sounds like a boy whose voice is cracking.
It is pretty funny.
So you have a new rooster "terrorizing" the neighborhood, Ruthy? :) I always loved waking up to the sound of a rooster's crow at my grandparents' place in rural Texas.
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone ignore Uncle Sam and forego Speedbo??
ReplyDeleteLaughing at the teenage rooster's cracking voice.
This is an interesting village!
Janet
Glynna, Sparky was supposed to be a hen... and as they grew I got the sneaking suspicion that hen #26 was really a BOY!!!!! And he's so stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteSo yes, the terror of the neighborhood is back!!!!!
Janet, you'd love this rooster! I'll post a pick next week, he's black and white muddled. A funny looking fellow!!!
Congratulations to all the winners!! What a fun week in Seekerville, and a fun weekend edition!
ReplyDeleteStarted out cleaning my office yesterday in preparation for Speedbo, then decided just the desktop needed straightening, and finally settled on just separating the pens, pencils and highlighters into various small piles. I then decided I was a slacker, big time, so I also cleared a small space for my coffee mug. Now I'm ready.
Off to read the links!
Many, MANY thanks for my "surprise" prize! This is just the best place to hang out. People are supportive and generous... and even a little kooky at times. Just some, though...not everyone. I like that we can come here and just be ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful WE, Tina.
Oh, and I just went and signed up for Speedbo. It was one of those "kicking and screaming" things for me again, but I did it. Now I'm telling my IE to shut up and let me get started on what I've committed to do. :)
Not cleaning anything for Speedbo. It would take me a month.
ReplyDeleteAckkk! I wish I could edit out a few of those "just" repetitions. Or maybe all of them. ::sigh:: Ah, well.......
ReplyDeleteCarol, "just" is one of my favorite words too! :) I wouldn't have even noticed if you didn't mention it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you signed up!
Ruthy, we have a neighbor's rooster who seems to be really confused. I think it's because I often let the dog out in the wee hours and turn on the flood lights. He doesn't crow when I go out at 1 or 2 am. But if it's 3 or 4 am (like happened recently when I was sick and up at all hours), then he'll crow each time I turn the light on. LOL
ReplyDeleteLaura Kestner, you're a step ahead of me in cleaning! But I just finished gathering all my tax stuff today, which always helps a little (gets rid of some piles).
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend! I'm a little late since I dislocated my shoulder tripping over our baby gate in the middle of the night so now I'm in a sling. Most painful thing to happen to me. A bright moment was seeing Tina's post with the winners of the Love Inspired books! I can't wait to see which one I get! Thank you all you wonderful generous authors :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Tina. The weekend edition has new information and great comments. Thank you for your use of graphics and pics to enliven our weekend reading. It sounds like many of the town's people are ill or injured. As a veteran of the flu this week, I urge you all to take care of yourselves and take it seriously. (BTW I did have a flu shot.) Prayers for your recovery, Rhonda, and Heidi, from the baby gate injury. This weekend has warmed in mid Tennessee and we have flung the windows open to get those germs out! Spent my weekend inside perusing free writing software so that the next WIP is not just a jumble of files. Current front runner is litlift which also features a plotline generator based on your theme and description. My search has been restricted to web based apps since I have a fondness for dragging one of my multiple devices out of the house based on where I will write. Please enter my name in the cat jar for any prizes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Olivia!
ReplyDeleteOh, man, Heidi!! Hope you feel better.
