So today I got a little closer to cute balcony guy at church. I am starting to wonder though if maybe we're not meant to get to know each other. He usually comes in later and sits on the other side. Not too far though. I can still catch a few glances at him. Today at church, it was crowded so he had to sit in my area. He sat two pews in front of me.

I got so excited. Here was my chance. I could finally say hi. Well guess what? The couple next to me started to talk to me and of course I didn't want to be rude. Also noticed he didn't sign the attendance pad, so I guess I'll never find out his name that way.

On a positive note, I got to shake his hand and see him smile. I think I melted a little when we touched. Of course he had to turn and that was it. I didn't get a chance to say or just happen to be next to him as we went down the stairs because I had to rush out to make a movie since church ran late.

So should I take this as a hint or find other ways to at least get the man's name?

Be warned, there will be spoilers if you haven't watched the show yet. If you haven't, go watch it. I loved it!! I had a feeling I would but I didn't know I would like it like I did. Can't wait for more episodes.

Now on to spoilers.

So my first question is, in the end will Snow White still have a happy ending? If you remember, Prince Charming was killed. Does this mean when they return back to their time, he'll be dead again? I know we saw him in the hospital when she went to put flowers by his side but will he always be like that? Will he die when they return? I'm hoping he'll wake up before they go back to their time so he'll still be alive. Fingers crossed. Otherwise, she won't have a happy ending. Sure, she'll know about her daughter but what about her prince? That would kind of suck.

The next question, who is Emma's son? Is he a fairy tale? A whole new person since technically we never meet Snow White's daughter in the fairy tale. At least if I recall since it's been years since I read the fairy tale, we don't. Might have to get out Snow White and see if there is any mention of a baby, boy or girl. I'm pretty sure there isn't though.

The last question I have for this episode is, figure the evil witch should know the truth about the town. You would think she would, unless a spell went wrong but judging by the end of the episode, she should know. But what about Rumpelstiltskin? Does he know the truth? When we see him with Emma at the inn, it looked like he did. So maybe he knows why she is here? Or maybe he recalls the name Emma and is thinking, Hmm I like that name but doesn't know why.

I can't wait to watch the next episode. What were your thoughts and questions?

So I promise I didn't fall off the face of the earth. This whole month has been a lazy one for me. I blame my cold which turned to bronchitis which turned into some infection. I went to urgent care over the weekend and they gave me an inhaler. I swear it's not working. Plus I feel like a cold is trying to return.

It sucks because I haven't done much writing this month thanks to it. It's hard to focus when you start coughing up a storm. I'll be into this scene and I lose track because I can't stop coughing for twenty minutes. It's not as bad as it was but there are still moments.

I'm just ready for it be over with.

One of these days I will remember to post after the event.

I had a good time this year at Lakeland's Writers Conference. Well, I always do but I always look forward to learning something new and meeting other writers.

We met in the lecture room where they did the introduction and we listened to an author who wrote a memoir. It was nice to listen to what he had to say. I probably won't write a memoir though. If I write anything close to my life, it will end up fiction. I do have a couple ideas and you know though, I'll find a way to stick the paranormal in there.

Afterwards, my first session dealt with Young Adult. Yes, I don't write Young Adult but I've thought about it. I do enjoy many young adult books and would love to find the teenager in me again. I don't know when I'll write one but I know when I think of an idea, it's going in my idea notepad so when I'm ready I can look back.

The second session, I decided to do Today's Publishing. I'm always trying to keep up with the publishing world even though I'll probably self-publish my first book. I still like the idea of traditional publishing and will try to look for that agent and publisher. I'm one of those people who like to try different things. Maybe I'll discover self-publishing isn't for me but traditional is. Time will tell.

After that session, we had lunch. Yup, like every year it's like high school. You walk into the lunchroom and don't see anyone you know. There are some of us regulars but it's good to look for new faces. You have to network. At the table I sat at, I met some nice people and I hope to read their work someday. I sat with a mystery, autobiography, romance, and general fiction writer.

After lunch, we headed back to the lecture room and did a question/answer panel. This year, it went from getting yourself published to ebooks to writing for a living. Definitely something I found very useful. I wish I could have the motivation to write for a living but for now, that will have to wait.

The last session I did had to deal with editing. That as always was a good one. I'm always looking for ways to edit my work better. There were a few familiar lessons. The read out aloud, don't trust spell check, etc. I never thought about reading a paragraph here and a paragraph there. I like the idea of reading the book out of order. Will have to keep that in mind.

I could get into more details but that could end up a long post. If you want to know more, let me know.
