ha.

So, the writer in me has something new going on. Apparently, breathing comes as naturally lately as writing does. Literally.
Ha.
I've found that writing is actually the key for me to keep my mind straight, be it a list, a blog post, a chapter or drawing for one of the 15 books I'm working on.
By the way- by 15, I am not exaggerating. Definitely not by any means exaggerating. In fact, I've cut back on   quite a few novels and have narrowed everything down to 15. I figure by the end of 2014 I COULD be done, IF I get an agent or a publisher interested in (at least) the trilogy I'm writing.
I guess you can say that writing has become a bigger part of me than I thought would be possible.

I guess, with my schedule and everything coming up, it should be expected that I am a little more stressed than usual...because usually, I'm not stressed at all.
Usually, I leave everything up to the universe and it all works out for me in the end...but yes, anxiety has set in for me at the age of 30.

There is so much to look forward to, that I know my to-do list, as short (compared to what's going on) as it can be will collect dust anyway.

So here are a teeny list of my goals for this summer:

• visit some museums i've not been to, and write/blog about them
• figure out places i've been to i haven't blogged about.
• blog about the books i've read this year, which will be no easy feat.
• maybe knock some items off my bucket list
• get just a smidge more organized!

what are your goals for this summer?

love me,

Brooke from Cupcakes & Cucumbers came by to give me this award today- thus putting a huge smile on my face. I am so happy to receive this award and participate in the Versatile-ness of it all :)

Thank you, Brooke <3<3


Here is how the award works:

1. You thank the person who presented you with the award.

2. You tell 7 things about yourself.

3. You award 15 other newly discovered bloggers.



Thanks:

(again and yay!) to Brooke for awarding my blog over here on this tiny corner of the internet! Creating 'The Globetrotting Gamine' (once upon a time called 'Who's That Gamine?') has been a great adventure for me. My writing and possibilities have taken off and I've even fallen back in love with two of my old friends- photography and drawing. Travelling, Love, Venting and um, FOOD-- make an appearance every now and then. I am so thankful for every aspect of my life, my blog, and all you guys out there who keep me going so much more than any book I can pick up...unless I'm writing one.



Seven Things:

1. Writing is a lifestyle. Blogging is it's love affair.
2. I love watching anything regarding hauntings and the supernatural-- so I've been busy creating ideas for more stories to tell during this busy month of October.
3. Criminal Justice (B.S) and School Counseling (M.S.) were my college focuses. Why I never focused on my writing, I'll never know.
4. I married the guy I've been crushing on since 13, been dating since 16, and married a couple of times.
5. Travelling is what I believe I could do to no end, along with all of the other things I've mentioned.
6. My hubby gifted me my puppy when I turned 24, a week before our church wedding. I've written children's books about him and love him to death.
7. Cooking and coupons are an addiction for me.
