Today I am starting my Adventures of the Ice Cream Lady Book.

I just finished writing a short piece of software to do what Natalie Goldberg, describes in her book, "Wild Mind, Living the Writer's Life" as writing practice.

She talks about writing for 10 minutes, taking a short break and going 10 more, and she gives about 10 different sentence starters to get you going. These starters are very broad and can pertain to anything you are dealing with or wanting to write about.

I have this piece of software that actually creates simple .exe programs, that output your results into an html or copies it to your clipboard as text. I have used it many times in the past to create what I call "self improvement software."

I have actually sold that software in the past, but it is not anything fancy, nothing compared to Microsoft Word, or stuff like that.

But if you are reading this post and would like a copy to check it out, or just to see what I am referring too, just comment on any post on my blog and let me know you want my "writing practice software" and I will send you the download link.

In the meantime stay tuned, I figure I might as well use the publicity from my stolen ice cream truck to start to launch my book. I had created an outline, I actually jotted down most of the chapter titles during stops while I was driving my ice cream truck.

It was going to be titled "101 Lessons Learned by an Ice Cream Lady." That title may change, but I already have about 89 chapter titles.

So that is where I am going to begin.

I plan on creating another more positive youtube video, but my heart isn't in it, I haven't quite got to that place yet.


I am trying to stay positive,

Love,
Laurie
