I guess I have to start somewhere....

So this is my first post in my blog. It seems like all hell has combined to keep me from creating this blog. After four attempts I have actually been able to post. My name is Michelle Jefferies. I am a work at home mom of six children; five boys and one girl, ages 1 yr to 15. I work part time for Tooele county WIC as a breastfeeding peer councelor. I help women breastfeed thier babies sucessfully.

That is my calling in life, but my passion is writing. In the last year and a half I have written the first drafts of 1 and a half fantasy stories, and 6 books of a seven book science fiction series. I attended the LDStory makers conference in March and started to rewrite the first book after I attended the conference. I just finished it tuesday the 10 of July. I am so exited about this, I have made my goal. Now I will fine tune a short story I have writen for the LTUE short story contest in Provo in February of next year. Then i will move onto the rewrite of the second book in the series. I expect that the rewriting will go faster as I go about it. We shall see though. My work has definately cut into my writing time, but i can really use the money. Decisions decisions...

So to any one who reads this, welcome... hope you like what you see.

Michelle

Welcome to the blogging world! LOL Looks good. You know, when my youngest daughter was 6 weeks old, she had a high fever and ended up hospitalized. When she was in there their lactation person informed us she wasn't sucking properly and showed us what needed to be done. I had no idea there were people that did that!! Good job.
