Today was Nick’s birthday, so for dinner, we went to Stix and enjoyed the Hibachi Grill. After we ate, I received a fortune cookie with this message: “Ambition is the incentive that makes purpose great and achievement greater.”

Now, normally, I don’t think much of fortunes found in cookies, but I liked this one because it made me pause for a moment and think about my writing career. Without my ambition, well, there would be no career to talk about on this lovely blog. Ambition drives me. It makes me write when I just want to call it a day and sleep. It makes me plot when I’m tempted to catch an episode of CSI. I think a healthy dose of ambition is in the blood of most writers. If you don’t have it, well, then you’d never be able to finish one book.

And speaking of finishing a book, ahem…got to go!

Okay, I’ve finally done it. With help from my hubby (thanks for the web assistance, Nick!), I’ve got a MySpace page.

If you want to friend me or just take a look at my little old page, visit me at myspace.com/cynthiaeden.

Let me know what you think of the page!

Okay, I’ve been a bad blogger lately, but I have a good reason for the lack of posts–truly. Nick and I have been house hunting. Grr.

We’ve decided to put our house up on the market and look for something with a little more room (for the baby’s million toys). So, since I am the Queen of Clutter, there’s cleaning to be done. Organizing. The dreaded “staging” that real estates agents talk about all the time.

Then I have to find a new home. One not too far away–my mom wants to visit frequently with her grandson, after all, and I want to be close to the central hub of the city.

And I have to finish my book. No, I don’t have any deadlines looming in the immediate future, well, just my self-imposed ones, but I’m halfway (Yay! Actually on p. 230) of my succubus story, and I’d like to finish at least the rough draft on this baby in the next few weeks.

So if my posts are a bit…ahem…on the short side, do forgive me. Now, back to my writing.

Happy Saturday!

Today I’m lucky enough to be guest blogging at one of my favorite sites–Magical Musings. If you get a chance, hop over and take a look! Thanks!

Then head over to Kate’s blog–she’s got a nice, detailed list up for everyone! Thanks, Kate!
