FAITHWRITERS - If you've known me for any length of time, you know that I credit FaithWriters for re-jumpstarting my writing career. FaithWriters is a wonderful community of Christians who want to use their talents for God's glory. Founded and run by Scott Lindsay for many years, Scott sold FaithWriters last month in order to move in a different direction. New owners, Mike and Bea Edwards, have big plans for the site and are excited to take FaithWriters to a new level. I strongly encourage you to check it out, specifically if you are a newer writer and are looking to meet some awesome people who can encourage you and help you grow in your craft.
FORTIES - Now that I'm in my forties (NOTE: early 40s), I'm starting to feel it. And let me tell you, I don't like it one bit.The other day, I was scrubbing the bathroom floor and my shoulder went out. I couldn't have been doing something fun to make it worth the pain. No. It had to be doing the most unfun thing ever. I've decided that either I need to start doing shoulder exercises or stop cleaning. Hmmm....such decisions.
FILM - Another sign I'm getting older is that my son will be graduating in May. Frightening! Because I posted about my daughter a couple weeks ago (See D is for Daughter), I thought I'd post a couple pics of my son Zach. He's passionate about Film and will be attending film school in the fall. His ultimate interest is directing and writing (cool, right?) Looking forward to sharing in his Fame and Fortune!
FICTION - Hello...Fiction is a huge part of my life, so of course I had to include it in my F-word list. Right now I'm working on book #2 in the Madi series. I'm about halfway done with Madily in Love, and my deadline is less than three months away. Which brings me to the next F word...
FOCUS - The key to minimizing my Freak-Outs, is FOCUS. The dictionary describes "Focus" as Close or narrow attention; concentration. Yep, that's what I need to do. Give my novel close attention! And I will. Just as soon as I finish the laundry, plan my son's graduation open house, play on Facebook and Pinterest, and watch the latest episode of Survivor. Kidding aside, my greatest focus needs to be on prayer, which I'll definitely need a lot of in order to meet my deadline.
Okay...I could go on, but that's enough F words for today. What F words are on the tip of your tongue today?

FRIENDS - I love my friends - on or off line. We can never have too many.
FUN - Fun post, Lynda!
You're right, Loree! I thought about FRIENDS...and blog FOLLOWERS...I'm so thankful for both! :-)
So, Lynda--another F word is Fifties!!! Just be glad you're not there yet! 'Course, life begins at FIFTY!
Thx for your F post Lynda-I could relate, although I'm with Cheryl and her Fifties word.:)(But I stopped having birthdays at 35 so I just pretend I FORGET...which happens alot with menopause, stress and being FIFTY+.:)(No, I'm not tellin'...)
I do praise the Lord for FAMILY, FRIENDS,FAITHWRITERS as well, and I'm learing too about re-FOCUSING my eyes on things that last and that matter the most...FORGIVENESS, FINDING FRAGMENTS of sunshine even in the times of darkness....and renewing my FAITH daily in Christ.
Did I mention that I love FUDGE, FUNKY FABRIC, FOUR-O'CLOCKS and writing FICTION-or did I FORGET again?:)
Wonderful F words, Janice! :-) Thanks for stopping by.
