5 Days of Fun, Tedium, and Chaos

Or, otherwise known as, “A Week in the Life of Chautona Havig.”  Yep!  That’s right!  (pretend to be excited, will ya?) This coming week, with one day delays (we hope only one day), I’m gonna share just what life is like for this girl!  The fun, the boring, and well… the ordinary (which equals chaos in this family).

I’ve been asked for this so many times, and I always think, “When I get a normal week, I should do that.”  Um… yeah.  Right.  HA!  Normal.  *collapses on the floor in helpless laughter, clutching a package of Depends for dear life*  So, I thought, “At  least, if I do it now, it’ll be DONE.  You know, I’m into that “done” thing, so let’s go with it.

Tentatively my calendar looks like this:

Monday (posted on Tuesday and so forth):  My birthday!  So I’m spending it in a fun way I can’t wait to share!

Tuesday:  When I planned this, I was going out of town, but alas and alack… I’m not now!  So who knows what I’ll be doing besides cooking ahead for the family and pounding away on Carol and the Belles (oh, and editing.  You’re gonna see a lot of EXCITING editing going on.  *snort*)?

Wednesday: Making gifts for my fellow Writer’s Retreat attendees and editing…

Thursday:  Oh… probably some housecleaning or editing or writing, or editing, or cooking or…

Friday:  Packing, shopping, getting the rental car, heading out of town at 3:00 a.m. so I can avoid LA traffic on the way to the airport!

All subject to change without notice.  As you can see, it’ll be rip-roaring fun.  I  mean, so absolutely terrifyingly awesome and exciting that you’ll collapse from boredom overstimulation at the end of each blog post.  Yeah.  *rolls eyes*

So stay tuned for Tuesday morning’s post about Monday!

    This is too funny! I have decided that my life will never be Ordinary!!! How could it be?! I have 4 teenagers and two wannabes!!! I homeschool but no two days look alike!!! I am busy all the time! I am going on my second missions trip of the year next week and gasp…I’m not taking any of my own kids! (I did for spring break, though.) But I will be Mom to 4 other teens and a 20-year-old! Yep! Your ordinary life is why I enjoy reading your books. I can relate. And when I can’t relate, your writing sheds insight into other people so that I can better put their glasses on or walk in their shoes for awhile. I’m looking forward to these posts!!!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 566: A Chat with Clint Hall
byChautona Havig

I blame Clint Hall for me singing Roger Millers “Two Worlds Collide” for the last couple of months. No, his sci-fi Worlds Collide has nothing to do with that song, but… I’m DYING to read it. Listen in and see why.

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

Space wars? Prophecy? EEEP!!!

I found Worlds Collide while writing one of my books and was eager to get a copy of it. Thanks to Clint for the lovely copy sitting on my shelf right next to me. Time to start!

Worlds Collide by Clint Hall

Five worlds at war. Only one can survive. Ten thousand years ago, five cosmic beings—a dragon, a phoenix, a serpent, a lion, and a wolf—set their worlds on an inevitable collision course. Each civilization was given one command: destroy the rival worlds, or crash into them and die. As the planets draw near to each other, the moment of final reckoning is at hand. In a galaxy filled with starfighters and superweapons, magic and manipulation, planet-killing devices and mechanized legions, five heroes must defend their homeworlds against overwhelming odds. But when prophecy and destiny collide, a far greater power begins to stir—one that challenges everything they’ve been told. Oaths will be broken. Chains will be shattered. Champions will rise. The fate of the universe hangs in the balance as these heroes discover whether any world deserves to survive. The War of the Creators has begun. Perfect for fans of Red Rising, The Expanse, and mythic sci-fi epics, Worlds Collide blends high-stakes interplanetary war with a legendary, fate-driven mystery—where the final battle may not be what it seems.

Learn more on Clint’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads.

The Experience podcast starts up in September.

Okay, so maybe her conclusions about how we glorify God might be a bit extreme, but no one can argue that it worked out well for her. Proposing to a guy she's not in love with (yet!)? Not easy, but no one said living to the glory of God would be easy, right?
Book one in the Marriages of Conviction series, Blessing Bentley explores one woman's approach to a happy marriage--start with God!
