May Day--Lenora Worth

Hello. I think I've lost some of my marbles. I only blog once a month now and last month and now, today, I have completely forgotten to post my blog. And I have it clearly written on my desk calendar!!! That's why I'm shouting "May Day!!!" Here I am, posting late but at least today I realized it. Am I the only one who's noticed that as I age, I lose things? Like brain cells? And part of my memory and ... well ... things have started shifting all around me and on me!!

But I've been blessed in other areas. I'm busy blessed with work. I love writing for LI and LIS, and now I'm branching out with novellas. Love the format of the short story. I've always written short stories and never really shown them to anyone. Now with the novellas, I get to play with that format and learn more about that particular genre. But being busy blessed does not excuse missing out on what I've signed up to do!

I did have something nice happen today. I got my author's copies for my next LIS, which will be out in August. Proof of Innocence is the last book in the exciting six-author continuity called Capitol K-9 Unit. It was fun and challenging to write a book set in and around our nation's capitol and to be able to do a follow-up two in one with the adorable, talented Terri Reed. (Which will be out this Christmas.)

What's going on with you? Have you forgotten something important? Or am I the only one?

Memory needs power-up--Lenora Worth

I think my brain cells need to be plugged into a socket. I keep forgetting things. Things I have written on my calendar at that. I'm middle-aged and getting more forgetful every day, it seems. I knew today was my post day but somehow I got caught up in proofing one manuscript, creating a new proposal for another one and trying to get to the home stretch on one that's due next month. I think my brain can only process so much information. Not to mention social networking and trying to keep up with my favorite tv shows.

They say keeping your brain active is important in old age. Mine seems to be so active it can't find a spot for anymore information. I just took a walk outside since it's actually warm here today. My daffodils are blooming and some of the other bulbs are budding. Many of the spring shrubs and trees have buds on them, too. Maybe that's what I need--spring to come and rejuvenate my tired brain.

Am I the only one with these memory lapses???
