Hi! I haven't posted in quite sometime again and for those who follow me on twitter you know that my daughter has been really ill. We've been in and out of the hospital over the last few weeks, thankfully we're home now.

Needless to say with a sick child my Real-life has been less than ideal and it's certainly be non-writing friendly. Not only is my creative brain to damn tired to be....well, creative, I've had zero time to give to the next chapter of Make Me Believe.

Good news though, the chapter is basically finished. I'm editing and hopes are high that it will be to Ms. Jessica later today. That is if there are no major catastrophe's within the household, which lately has been the norm.

Until next time... xoxoxoxoxo

Today is beta appreciation day and although I left a little snippet over on The Fic Bridge I wanted to take a minute here to send out a thank you to Jessica1971. Jessica stepped in to MMB when it was about 11 - 12 chapters in and at first helped me out as a second beta. Due to unforeseen circumstances my friend Stavanger1 had to step away from the fic-world and gave up her beta duties on MMB. Jessica was awesome and stepped in to take over full duties of beta on my little story.

The fact that she was one willing to take on that responsibility and second did it effortlessly are just two of the reasons that I can't really thank her enough. She has done an amazing job of making my words look so much better than they would without her help. Jessica has helped me learn things about writing that I would not have otherwise. She has done this with grace and even when I make stupid grammatical errors she points them out and shows me why they're wrong. In turn she has helped me to grow and become a better writer.

She's also become such a good friend to me. Though we've never met face to face she is truly one of my best friends. Thank you Jessica for being more than just someone who corrects my mistakes and for being my friend when I've really needed one.

From the bottom of my heart I thank you and appreciate all you do!!
