reading: Finishing up Tasha Alexander’s Behind the Shattered Glass, about to start this book. And getting a big stack ready to take with me to Florida at the end of the month. I’ll share more about that stack later this week.

doing: Work. Working a lot of hours this week/month — and it feels good! Also, doing a lot of writing, or thinking of writing. November is a busy month for the Krumms—and we’re all sick on top of it! Bring on the adventure!

feeling thankful: That we got Drew in the doctor when we did! Bronchitis  and an ear infection — reminds me of my little brother as a kid when he’d get a cold, turned bronchitis, turned croop.

watching: CW’s Beauty and the Beast and Once Upon a Time. Thankfully that’s it. It have no time to waste sitting in front of television.

working on: Getting excited about prepping the vacation mini album. Getting tons of ideas from Pinterest and Ali Edward’s 25 Days of Christmas (seriously she’s my fave). And getting excited about Elsie’s birthday party on Saturday. She’s requested that we decorate jewelry boxes, eat cupcakes, and paint nails. Oh and only girls. Love that she’s actually having a say with the planning and what she wants. It’s to much fun.

loving: This weather! It’s chilly, rainy, and perfect. And we have a fire going in the fire place. Rainy = productivity for Christen. Yes, I’m backwards and strange that way. I told Andy that if we ever moved to Seattle or anywhere else rainy I’d be soooooo productive it wouldn’t even be funny. Also, loving that Sunday is our family Thanksgiving (since my brother is in town) and also Elsie’s party with the family.

So, how about you? What are you up to today? Feel free to do your own “currently” post on your blog and link back in the comments for everyone to check out. And thanks again to Danielle from Sometimes Sweet for providing the original inspiration for these posts.

Spread the love

Want to read Project Grinch first? 

While I don’t have a lot to tell you about the storyline, the general idea is if the Grinch and Buddy the Elf were stuck on a roadtrip together at Christmas time (the Grinch is female in this story!) 

If you like YA fiction, rom-coms, and Christmas stories, you hopefully will enjoy Project Grinch.

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
