Ive got alot going on with job hunting, my unemployment being denied, my neice is battling an eating disorder and my uncle is sick. I feel pretty down right now. Money was always a way to cheer myself up, but I don't have my frivolous spending money anymore. I can live: I have rent etc, but I don't have my "Fun" money. The problem is, I don't know how to handle this sadness without it. I have been writing and praying alot. I feel stuck. I have a wonderful loving family, a wonderful husband etc. Im healthy everything else is going for me.
This week kicked off my summer blog series. I'm giving away 2 ebooks each week to my readers and supporters, writing articles for readers, authors, and aspiring authors--several over the next 60 days, and in general, going to start this summer with a bang!
I missed it! I thought I was spending too much time here when I am supposed to be job hunting, but perhaps I didn't think it through very well (as usual). I am back! I feel silly deleting everything now, but I felt like I was sharing too much. Anyway, I am back on! I look forward to talking to everyone again.
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Janice Hermsen of the Book Hound on 99.1 FM, a national radio show. The program airs tonight at 11pm EST. I hope you can listen!

What is RT Boook Lovers Convention Really Like?
Ahh, hello Nester's,
How are you all?? I have been re-arranging my schedule and trying to find more time to do what I need to do. My focus this year has been on my family, art work, friends, and volunteer time. I have still found that there is not enough time in a day, week and soon even a month to complete all of my to do lists. I had a big goal of doing 5 pottery items every weekday to be ready for my summer selling........ that was just too big of a goal I guess, because I am no where near that.
Tonight my hubby came home and was leafing through our mail (which I love to ignore), and he handed me a large envelope from Writer's Digest. I love Writer's Digest magazine, but this looked like junk mail. On the way to the trash, I decided to rip it open just in case they'd begun sending their magazines in envelopes for some strange reason. Much to my surprise, I received a participation recognition certificate for the 19th annual Self-Published Book Awards. That alone isn't so exciting, but the paper that came with it was. This is what it conveyed:
Women's Nest founder, Melissa Foster, has been nominated for a Shorty Award. Read how she found out about it!
Sometimes things happen in our life that have the capacity to make us jump up and down and act like we've lost our minds. Today I was told about one of those events. Perez Hilton, yes, the Perez Hilton, mentioned COME BACK TO ME on his blog in his Holiday Recommended list for 2011.
I decided this year is for me. So I'm trying. Starting doing yoga as I wrote on the nest, I had problems in the laying down positions felt like I was chocking and had to get up. Not sure why that happen.
I'm decided that I'm going to stop eating in the cafeteria at work and bring my lunch. Save money and I'm thinking that maybe the way they are cooking is causing my sugar levels to go up. Also, I want to save money to go away with Glenn.
Today I was featured in the Huffington Post, where I laid out the facts of ebook pricing. Is 99 cents a valid price point for ebooks? How will the no-discount pricing structure effect authors, publishers, and of course, readers? Weigh in on the Huffington Post article, here:
Today I received exciting news.
