Summer is upon us. We are in the high 90s here! I have been, oh, so busy getting ready for the book tour. Info is below but I want to give you some gem of wisdom to help you on your creative journey.
Here is something I believe. You must try. Do you remember the story of The Little Engine that Could. I find that story to be a bit of baloney. If you are on the right track, giving it your all, yes, you might succeed. But there is no way to tell if your on the right track, or if the track has been knocked out ahead, or if you basically aren't a train. That said, you must try anyway.
An absolute truth: you will never be disappointed in yourself if you give it your all and come in last or don't even complete the task. In fact you will get up, dust yourself off and try something else. Your failure will teach you things you will need for when you are on the right track. You will never regret try with your whole heart.
Please also check out this post. The hardest thing I've ever written. Please check out my Dear Teen Me blog. I write a letter to younger self. After you read the blog please consider donating to the Alzheimer's Association.
PLUMB CRAZY will be out as paperback soon. I ask you to support my work -- buy a copy, share the news, request the book at your library, ask me to blog for you. Thank you.
Watch here! I will have a giveaway beginning on July 28th. The entry period will be until August 28th. Fun times ahead. Considering entering my PLUMB CRAZY Book and Boots Giveaway! Win a signed copy of PLUMB CRAZY and a $100 Cavender's Gift Certificate (toward boots) -- US ONLY.
Here is the Plumb Crazy Book Tour Schedule: I interview my characters, share the Plumb Crazy playlist and much more. Follow the tour on Twitter at @MollyBlaisdell! Or on my Facebook page.

Molly, that letter choked me up. I imagine our young mothers talking and laughing together. No tears in heaven. My prayers for her and your younger self ... you know they stand outside of time.
Hi Vijaya! I know my mom would have loved your mom. I'm ever so grateful there are no tears in heaven. Thanks for time-free prayers.
