For the US, today is a holiday for all us laborers. 
See y’all on Wednesday when I discuss platform when writing in different genres.
Remember, Mondays are reserved for Mental Health Monday posts, so if you have a character that needs to be shrink-wrapped, don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll host your question here!
I’m still posting my #MentalHealthMondayWritingTips on Twitter. I’m @DiamondLB if you want to follow (link is on the side bar).

Hi all!
Today is a holiday in the US, so I’m taking the day off. Be sure to stop by Wednesday–I’m interviewing February Grace, author of GODSPEED!

Hey gang!
I titled this post “Respite” because it’s important to remember to take breaks now and again. The holidays are coming up and there’s much “real life” stuff to do, so I’ll be taking the rest of the week off from blogging.
Be sure to send me your mental health questions (writing related only, please!) and I’ll address them as they come in.
Those of you working on your Nano novel–WOOT WOOT! We’re coming into the home stretch. Don’t forget to stay hydrated (I prefer Dunkin Donuts iced coffee) and fed (M&Ms are awesome!) and rested (sleep is my favorite hobby after writing and reading, yo!).
I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving. This year, the fam is coming to my house (this’ll be the First Annual Thanksgiving At the Fixer Upper Mansion).
If you’re masochistic, then you’re probably heading out on Black Friday. I’m not. Nothing gets me up in the morning…NOTHING. So while I’m sleeping in, I hope y’all get some uber fabulous sales.
Okay. That’s about it. See ya’s all next week!

While kids are trick or treating, writers are cracking knuckles and stretching fingers in preparation for the kick off of NaNoWriMo at midnight.
Best of luck writers!
Feel free to check in here with your progress throughout the month. I wanna see how all y’all are doing along the way.
Also, check out Elizabeth Mueller’s Spookfesta for the release of her novel, DARKSPELL!!!!

Hi gang! I actually get the day off, so that’s what I’m doing…taking the day off, LOL!
Hopefully, I’ll get to do some writing on my WIP that’s about 1/2 done.
What’re you up to on this fine day?

So, how do you celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence?

Happy Christmas Eve dear friends!!! For those of you still surfing the interwebz today, I’d like to share with you one of my favorite Christmas memories from childhood. Even to this day, I watch A Charlie Brown Christmas every year.
(And I own the soundtrack–it’s some seriously great music, people, for realz!)

Today is labor day and in lieu of Mental Health Monday, I’m going to share an homage to…work.
By the way, ever feel like Milton? Poor guy.
Here’s the link in case the video doesn’t work.

Okay, so the holiday was actually yesterday, but since I only get six holidays a year, I’m taking full advantage!
So, fellow Americans, what’s your favorite activity for celebrating Independence Day? I like spending the day with the family. We generally have a picnic with burgers, hot dogs, and pasta salads. Yum!
