He’s So Proud Of Me!

by Kay~Kacey on 7/31/2008

So my iPhone rings. (I told you I’m in love with all things techie!)

The Geeky One: “Mom?”

Me: “Hi, Favorite Son.”

The Geeky One: “I’m so impressed.”

Me: “Hm.” (you know, like I know what the heck he’s talking about.) “Really?”

The Geeky One: “You’re on TWITTER.”

Me: “Oh, that.” (like it’s nothing that I figured out the maze that is twitter!).

The Geeky One: “I’m proud of you. And I’m following you now….”

(is it a good thing for your kids to follow you on twitter? Hm…maybe I should follow HIM…)

twitterrific on iPhone

Then he proceeded to explain to me how to take a picture with my iPhone and use twitterrific (free ap for the iPhone or $14.95 on the Mac) to post the pic to Twitpic. Does that kind of make your head spin? Me too!

Anyway, I have arrived! Just ask my son. :rofl:

following on twitter on the iPhone

Yes, go ahead and follow me on twitter. If you need help setting up a twitter account, or using twitter, just drop a comment here and I’ll see if I can help you. ‘Cause, you know, I must be doing something right…my son is impressed with his mom!. :love:

Life in Focus-Reflecting on Life

by Kay~Kacey on 7/30/2008

reflections

“Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some”
~ Charles Dickens

It’s been a long week (okay, a long year) of lots of crappy stuff happening. I need to focus on the simple things in life, the good stuff. I need to remember there IS a lot of good stuff. Like my adorable son here–The Impish One (who needs some chapstick, doesn’t he??)…picture taken by The Geeky One. Who knew he knew how to use a camera???

Don’t forget! Last chance to send in your photo for July’s Photo of the Month Contest!

RWA Conference

by Kay~Kacey on 7/29/2008

I know, you’re thinking, there she goes talking about a conference again. Only I’m not going to this one. It’s the Romance Writers of America’s conference in San Francisco this week. Yes, I’m aware I was just in San Francisco last week. Why, oh why, did these two conferences not line up back to back? Why can’t I get a new iPhone? Why is the internet down at the apartment??

Oh, sorry, I digressed.

Most of you know…well, I guess you know, that I write fiction. I’ve tried my hand at womens fiction, romance, and suspense. Been submitting and trying to sell for quite the number of years. Anyway, because this is the first RWA conference I’ve missed in years and years I’m going to stalk the bloggers and twitterers talking about the conference. So I thought I’d put up a page that will have all the gossip and links to blog posts about RWA 08 from around the blogosphere (still love that word).

Hopefully that will keep this daily blog and my writing obsession separate for my regular readers. There’s a link in my sidebar to my RWA Conference page where I’ll post the update links to blog posts, gossip, and links to photos.

I’ll be living the conference vicariously this year. Searching through blogs and doing this:

Did you know you could search twitter?
