Hello and Welcome…

So here it is…

The “official” launch of my blog where I can post my thoughts, status and all those crazy things that happen to me on a regular basis in one organized spot. For those of you who know me well I am sure you understand my love of the “O” word! “O” for organization… Where was YOUR mind at??

For those of you wondering what that noise you just heard is? It’s the sound of about two hundred family members and close friends releasing their breath in a simultaneous sigh of relief! *chuckle*

No more mile long emails in response to a simple emailed comment or question! Even better no more “unsolicited” mile long emails! I think some of you dread them just because you know I actually expect a reply… To the entire email… In a timely manner…

What do you mean you work a full time job, have to take care of the house AND still need time to sleep? What do you mean you don’t read nine hundred words per minute?? What the heck are “hunt and peck” typing skills?!?

The shocking thing, to me, is that people always seem surprised by my emails and their length. I don’t quite understand that. I am after all a writer… Come on! What were you really expecting?

Maybe I SHOULD come with a warning label like my friend Jody suggested… Of course my “warning” label would be even longer than my mile long emails. I wonder if I could market it as the non-medicated cure to insomnia… Hmmm…

Anyway, I guess I should actually get to the point here. I am looking forward to blogging on a regular basis. I am also looking forward to chatting with each of you as you have the time / ability to comment.

Lastly, I want to give a HUGE thanks to my friend Gary for helping me with my blog, my website and all the other wonderful things he helps me with! Muah! I love you man! And no… I DON’T want your beer!! I can get my own! 😉

    Good for you for finally getting your blog done! I’ve bookmarked it already and will be waiting with baited breath (or bad breath) for your next post! 🙂

  2. Nancy Fowler says:

    I love this blog; I added it to my favorites and can’t wait for the next as well as your next book! 🙂

  3. Hello Charline, here I used my real name (Giorgio), but in Facebook I use the nickname Awarkyx Nui (or other similar nicks).
    Your blog is very nice. I wait to see what you write in here.

    By the way I have a blog, too. It is a cultural one, veeeery boring!!!!
    I’m meditating about the possibility to translate some posts to english. It is not an easy matter cause I write in a quite rich way intentionally managing sometimes even the rhythm of phrases, assonances, and so on. Other times I comment poetries or song lyrics (where lyrics are not trivial ones).
    I’m looking for someone who’d like to help me, occasionally, to create english versions of more difficult texts, but that is not a work for me and unfotunately I can’t pay.
    Maybe you know anyone who would help me a little?
    Thx a lot,
    Giorgio.

  4. Hey Charline! I’m so happy that you are getting into blogging since I’ve found that author’s blogs are filled with so much information about themselves, their books and more. I look forward to your future blog posts!

    It’s about darn time that you got this done! I for one am stunned with your emails to me….makes me wonder if you just cut and paste and send to others as well! Actually not really, because you and I have a wonderful e-mail relationship! LOL…

    Love you girl!
    Kat

    John… Thanks for book marking my blog! Just for the record, toothpaste OR gum should help with that “bad breath” problem! 😉

    Nancy… Glad you stopped by. Thanks for saying “Hi.” I know you’re anxiously awaiting my new novel and at some point I will be posting its Prologue so people can read about it. 🙂

    Giorgio… You are welcome to email me one of your posts now and then. I will help you if I am able to. 🙂

    Hi Phoebe! Great to see you here and thanks for your post. I’m already getting the “Hey! Are you going to post (insert humorous tale that happened to me here) to your blog??” I plan to post hopefully three or four times per week… The only thing I will need to give up is just a little sleep but who needs that anyway, right? *chuckle*

    Kat… Muah! You WISH I copied and pasted emails to you! Then you would hear from me in a timelier manner! *snicker* In other news I will be in your area toward the end of June. Can you say “girl’s night out?!?” 😉

    Hey Charline,
    Does it really surprise you that you are “long-winded”? It should come as no big surprise, it runs in our family.
    Good luck with the blog. I will put it in my favorites, so I know where to find one of my favorite nieces.
    Love Aunt L
