Post to Ponder

The Networking Introvert by R.C. Lewis – The online community can be quite supportive in person as well if given the chance.

Something Special for Writers by Angie Richmond – See what makes Angie want to dance around throwing skittles in the air.

I’m So Sick of Words by Elise Fallson – I read this post a few times this week. So relatable. Sometimes that’s how I feel about writing.

#JuNoWriMo Post to Ponder

Rules for #JuNoWriMo Sprints by Eden Mabee – Never participated in a word-sprint on Twitter, join Eden and the other JuNoWriMo sprint leaders (myself included) everyday this month under the #JuNoWriMo hashtag.

Sarah Chafin: #JuNoWriMo Interview by Fel Scotzig – See how Sarah combats writer’s block.

Coolest Thing

The debut novel by Alessandra Thomas. I loved it. It was the coolest thing I read last week. I started it on Friday morning and had to finish it before going to bed on Saturday night. It is a New Adult Romance where the heroine has body issues and the hero has a past to overcome and they have some really great sex scenes in the mix. I don’t review books, but I do recommend. I loved this book. Click on the book if your interested in purchasing this great read.

Get Healthy Bloghop – How do you stay fit?

Published on May 29, 2013 by Sydney Aaliyah Michelle42 Comments

Stephen Tremp, Alex J. Cavanaugh, Michael Di Gesu, and L. Diane Wolfe have teamed up for a Blog Hop that focuses on health.

It is so nice of them to worry about our health. And, what better time of year then May-June to get refocused on our health goals.

Bloggers will be sharing their get healthy tips, so click on the lovely apple to find the list of participants and give them a visit for some get healthy tips.

My get healthy tip is simple, but it helps me stay accountable. I set goals for myself and share them with people close to me. I make a list of 5-10 goals that allow me to focus on what I hope to accomplish on a daily basis when I need to pay more attention to my health and fitness.

This month, I’ll share my June 2013 health and fitness goals with all of you:

Four hours of cardio per week.
One visit to the golf driving range per week.
One long walk outside/get in touch with nature.
Try a new fitness class at the gym.
No eating after 7:00 pm on weekdays.
Drink more tea then coffee.

I don’t always reach my goals, but I always take a moment to celebrate the good things and see what I need to focus on for the next month. Wish me luck!

As a writer, do you find it difficult to stay in shape? What tip do you have to get healthy and stay in shape?

Allow me to ‘Re-Introduce Myself’ Blogfest

Published on January 28, 2013 by Sydney Aaliyah Michelle44 Comments

A big thanks to Mark Koopman, Elise Fallson, Stephen Tremp and C.M. Brown for creating this blogfest to allow me to Re-Introduce Myself. I thought I would take this opportunity to announce my updated about page. For those who like to read, it will tell you all you need to know about me.

Six other interesting facts about me:

I am a law school graduate, but not a lawyer.
I have several tattoos.
I lived in China for over 5 years.
I have three of the coolest nephews.
I write romantic comedies.
My 1 year blog anniversary is in February.

For those visual people out there, I figured the best way to re-introduce myself is to post a photo. Hello, I am Sydney Aaliyah Michelle.

50108_1337371696_4621_n — Check out the hint of cleavage.

I have’t shared a photo of myself on my blog before. I’m happy in this photo and it’s really all you need to know to understand me.

Make sure to jump around and see how others are re-introduce themselves.

Anything else you want to know about me, the Q & A session starts after the video!

Jackie and Dani have prompted me to write a 300 word Flash Fiction piece using the following words: cobweb(s), cauldron(s), jack-o-lantern(s), ghost(s), razor(s). The story can be scary, comical, romantic, whatever I choose. Just be creative! They will pick a winner on October 31, 2012.

October 29, 2012 – Monstrous Monday Bloghop

What kind of Monster? Tim invites us to write about a monster we like/love/hate. Well, I am going to tell you about a monster I hate. And, this is going to be tricky because I am going to attempt to post a clip of this monster without me actually having to look at it myself because he/it creeps me out.

Post to Ponder

If It Makes You Happy – This post was so imaginative and I am happy I am not the only one who talks to her characters.

Scott Morrow’s Boost Blog Traffic Blog posted a great post by Chris Lappin 12 Blogging Mistakes That Make You Look Like a World Class Idiot.

Kevin Hanrahan wrote How do our Troops Live Deployed? It got me into doing research on my new WIP. A few of my characters are Marines.
