I've posted a lot in the last year: some about writing, books, myself, my kids, things on my mind.
Tomorrow, I plan on doing my new years resolutions, but today, I'm looking back at my four most popular posts of 2012. (why not 5? Because number 5 was from 2011 lol)
DRUM ROLL PLEASE...
1. Calico Daniels-- The Thanks We Eat I am always amazed when I see some of these things bein’ talked about as fine dining. Cows tongue, Rooster combs or chicken feet, ox tail soup…gizzards. I ‘bout fell over one day at the market when I spotted the price on tongue. WHEW! Where I come from you just tell your processor when you take your cow in that you want the tongue and you get it. I never realized it carried such a price tag in the store.
Now, Pawpaw loved fried chicken feet. Meemaw has told me more than once about fryin’ up a big batch and Pawpaw sittin’ at the table just munchin’ away almost as fast as she could cook ‘em. Not much on them but gristle but he sure liked them. *CLICK THE LINK TO READ MORE*

3. "One Word" for 2013 Lots of bloggers have been writing about their/your 'word' for the year. Basically, your word is kinda like your mission statement for the year. Last year, my word was 'LOVE'.
Looking back, I can see how 'LOVE' fit into the year. I wrote 3 'romance'/Inspirational/Christian books (one is out, 2 more are coming out next year from Astraea Press... YIPPEE!!!!). And yesterday while looking at my husband while we were going Christmas shopping, I do believe I 'LOVE' him more than I did 9 1/2 years ago when I married him (and I thought it was a lot back then lol).
To have a 'WORD', you need to get rid of a negative word. To be honest, I don't remember what my negative word was last year (see how well I threw it away), but I know what my throw away word is this year... CAN'T. *CLICK TO READ THE ENTIRE POST*
4. My Fan Fiction Days (This got a great response. I get people can relate ;) ) Okay, this is a tad bit embarrassing. I'm not sure why, but it is. For a long time, I wrote fan fiction. I LOVED fan fiction (okay, I still do). What did I write fan fiction over? Well... Twilight (I know!), The Mentalist (seriously!), and The O.C.
And where did I put these gems?
At www.fanfiction.net.
(I can't believe I'm telling you all this... )
I met a great friend there, though, Kathi-Ann who still writes awesome fan fic! I'm not embarrassed of fan fic... just some of the stories *I* wrote ;) Head-hopping... OH the head-hopping. *CLICK TO READ MORE*
MY Favorite Post of 2012... I Signed A Book Contract!!! I am proud to announce that yesterday I signed a contract for my first book 'Crossing the Deep' (the one I started in November '11) to be published by Astraea Press! *CLICK TO READ MORE*
There you have it :) My top posts of 2012! I want to thank each of you for a wonderful year. It has been amazing, and I'm looking forward to what 2013 waiting for all of us:)
