Focus on the good

Welcome to Poppy's Blog.

Today's blog is going to be short and sweet.  I woke up this morning with a cold.  I started sneezing yesterday and my nose was runny.  I had to try and catch it several times.  Ha!  I haven't had a cold in a while, so I am going to rest then reassess.  This quote is from one of my good friends.  You know who you are.

Starting today, I am going to try something different.  I was blogging daily to get the feel for it.  I am really enjoying it. Thank you to everyone who has come to my blog.  You are awesome.  My traffic to the blog has been pretty amazing and I am feeling blessed. I have decided to blog twice a week and maybe once a week post a quote and share a recipe.  

My book query went out the other day.  Now its fingers crossed.  I did some macro-edits (rewrites and making big changes to the plot, and characters) Now, I have been line editing (looking for medium issues, repetitions, accuracy, etc.)  Then I will copy edit.  (Nit-pick for small details like punctuation, spelling, grammar, etc.)  Then I will send it off to my editor to see what he thinks.  Its very important that you do your own editing or the book is not your book its the editors.  I am definitely on a learning curb.  But, I can do it!

The recipe for today is chicken soup.  Well how convenient is that.  https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8814/homemade-chicken-soup/

I will end here because I need to rest.  When you focus on the good, the good gets better.
