…. I tried to fix my computer myself
Out of desperation. I am tired of only having the tablet to write on. I followed the instructions put in the recovery disc…… Six hours later… lots of noise – but still just a black screen….. I wish my computer friend Jim in NY were here to help… Looks like I’m going to have to take it in after all… 
😦 But first I have more imperative financial services to pay for. Which I am really beginning to get excited about. Which is thanks to: God, My supportive family, friends, Mikey (my pal and muse), Jay Jay (My Graphic designer) and Sara Tassill (My editor) ♡ Love you all so much. Thanks for helping me and believing in me. #DreamBig #dontgiveup#ANovelLife #AmyJaneSandberg
Gone for now – Returning soon.

My Thoughts on Love…
After talking with many couples for research and curiosity. The hardest thing they have to overcome is the first admission of feelings. After that, it continues to take great courage to trust another person with those feelings. But it doesn’t end there. When the couple can’t be or stay open about their feeling – the relationship starts to fall apart. It is often stressed communication is the key to making the relationship work; compromising is equally important too. If you know me I’ve had boyfriends and a past fiancee. Working on these books made me wonder is there only one person for us, what happens if you miss him or her? Does another come along or will you keep getting chances to win their heart? From what I have witnessed, there are many “will do’s” but only one “My one & only”. What you need is always different for each person. That is why love/romance books are so popular and will never end. There are just so many stories to tell. I have also wondered is it true the person who confessed love first is the top dog in the relationship? I don’t think so. I agree it takes a massive amount of courage to be honest like that. Yet, I truly believe that the best relationships are ones where there is equal respect, honesty, and trust. The person who first confesses is the key to the start of the new beginning together and gets huge kudos. Sometimes a person has to confess or be vulnerable more than once. It is important to be open. If you don’t try you won’t know. Due to bad timing, or miss understandings you can easily get discouraged. Both parties have equal responsibilities to give their best to keep the relationship good. It won’t always be equal. But that’s not an excuse to not try your best. I think that saying is true love is a battlefield – because you have to fight to keep it going, you have to fight for it. Otherwise, someone or something may steal your love away. You may not always feel in love, you may not always like the person. But at the end of the day who would, you want to be with? Your mate should be your best friend, not just a love interest. Someone that will love you for your flaws and scars as well as your inner and outer beauty. Because you are worth it.! Also, it is not ok if they abuse you – emotionally, mentally or physically… That is not love, that is control.
I am encouraged by my research and I have hope my one will come eventually to stay in my heart and life. WHEN the time is right for me. I hope you find that one you are willing to fight for too. In the meantime keep an eye here on info on my upcoming works. Also please don’t forget my blog., writing and life are a work in progress as always but there for a reason.
God bless you all.

OPEN YOUR CHEST OF DREAMS
❀✎☆How was your weekend all? Long? I know what happened Friday really got me thinking.. I used to say this all the time but I feel like I don’t say it enough… LIFE IS SHORT! My grandma Sylvia, even in her in her 80’s, would say that “You should never grow up, enjoy life to the fullest”. We all have goals and dreams that we want to follow, yet the reality is that our needs get in the way. By the time most of us get done what ‘has to be done’ we are too tired and burned out to do what we want. We lock our dreams, goals and hopes up in a chest, but then the chest gets dusty and we forget about it. I don’t want to forget about my Dreams and neither should you. You need to make time to follow them. If it involves money then start saving. If it’s about health then get to it. Going after what you want in life is never easy. You have to fight for it. That includes love and relationships too. Nothing worth having is easy. Personally I am getting back on track, I was depressed for a while but I shook it off thanks to good friends and a change in my attitude. Don’t let the lies- “I’m not good enough”, “I don’t deserve it”, “I can’t do it” get in your way. Guess what, YOU ARE AWESOME! You have unique gifts no one else has and you are one of a kind. You need to believe in yourself..fight for yourself, because you are worth it! Go find your locked chest and open it!! Never say Never! ❀✎☆

I am Ecstatic!
Hello My Friends,
I woke up drained, ever have a morning like that? I dragged myself out of bed and half asleep I did my morning routine wishing I could go back to bed. When I went to make my most favored beverage, yep you guessed it – Coffee! I was pleasantly surprised to find a package waiting for me one day earlier than I expected!
I’m ecstatic I got the rest of my (self created) Author and A Novel Life stuff after months of waiting. The box includes: Stationary, Business cards, Thank you notes and so much more. Woot! Those you will only see in person or via the mail. As for pictures of what I do want to show off you can look to my Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram accounts…
Here is the set for: A Novel Life
I will be selling The 12oz cup, the notebook, the bag, and the flash-drive separately or as a set. You can purchase them in person, by order and at events. There is so much more I may offer in the future like more coffee cups, jewelry, and clothing. If you’re interested in any of the stuff let me know.
Again I’m so excited, I feel like things are finally coming together nicely! What a nice surprise to wake up to! Yes I’m still working on the books but I feel starting a line of products will help me add to packages and giveaways in the future. I’m thrilled! I can’t wait to show this stuff off in person! Where should my next event be? Preferably somewhere indoors in this heat… 😛 Right!!!
Ps. Face Book page is at 72 likes, Woot! Anyone within the first 200 likes will get a free book or a free gift of one of my new products.

To Scrivener or Not to Scrivener?
Hello Dear friends,
I ask you a question…. To Scrivener or Not to Scrivener?
It’s a writing program I had a long time ago but it has changed since then. I think it could be a great asset, better than most out there… Hmm. I just downloaded this file for the trial, thought you may like it too . Watch the video then decide, it’s 40$ to buy but it may be very handy for you. At the end of this video he says there is a 20% off coupon but I haven’t gotten that far yet, I’m half way done. I am following text description and watching the video. I had the old version on my old computer and forgot what it was called till last week when I was talking to a friend and fellow Novelist. I have done a bit of research on it and its a little like “Ywrite5” which is free but much more… Just watch the video and decide if this is for you. It is pricey but I feel it is well with it my dear writer friends… I had a house full of people but I will be testing it out this week and will be able to fully to decide… I am wondering what you use if you write… I think this will come in handy with my fictions. Especially with organizations… I get stuck often because I keep everything in one folder for each story and some times that can be overwhelming and I get tired of going back and forth. So I want a handy tool where I can keep my mess and make it neat. I may not have the most organized house but when it comes to writing and my projects I am very organized and picky. I have to say the video and images made me expected something a little more high-tech then what I downloaded. Possibly the trial is 1.o but the the video is 2.0…. I have to look deeper into that when I am more awake….
Here are some links:

*1 hour and 30 Min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLXjMLEZ00E
Wkiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrivener_(software)
You can get the free trial and buy it here: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php
After doing some research I found out why my Scrivener looks different in the videos. I knew it was a mac, and I had my guess they were using 2.0 and I had 1.0 well… I was right…. There is definitely a 20.0 But only for mac users….. So I will be waiting to buy… That’s to much money to put out twice… I’m disappointed…. Oh well….
God bless you today and always!

Lets be Honest….
Hello Dear friends,
I haven’t been writing here or on www.deeplyrootedinhim.wprdpress.com for several reasons…. I have been very busy catching up on the ”Deeply Rooted In Him” – Book, which will be the next one I will Publish. I was stuck with a particular chapter for a little bit. Along with fighting personal battles: sickness, depression, and loneliness. I know all the Bible verses and but you have to choose joy vs sadness and that you have to stay tough. Even though I feel like I’ve been beaten up by circumstances, people, the devil over the many years I’ve lived. The Devil comes only to Steal from you, to Kill you , and to Destroy You! But I (Jesus) comes to bring you Life and to Bring it Abundantly! ~John 10:10
I don’t know id you are anything like me but I hate being sick I really really Hate it! I feel so limited and restricted from so many things I would rather be doing. However, it has given me the opportunity to gather my self control (because let’s be honest we all lose it at times and believe the Devils lies that we aren’t good enough, that the world is against us etc.) I needed this time to help me refocus my energy and mind towards God so the can put on the armor that I’m supposed to wear .
(Ephesians 6)
And to keep fighting through life’s challenges. I wasn’t going to say any of this to anyone but I feel it would be better to be honest and possibly help someone then to keep it to myself. It’s really hard to bear your inner thoughts and emotions that sometimes we people need to confide in someone. Especially for me, I am so used to putting on a Strong front and pretending all is well… That way others don’t worry about me, pity me, or use my weakness against me. But writing the books where I am telling my life story have helped me become more open. I choose you my friend’s. I’m not asking you to pick up my burdens. I gave them to God and let them go. I am just saying We need to stick together and build each other up. That’ is how I believe God made us to be. Lets be honest we all could do more then we are doing, we all need to encourage each other, watch our words towards each other. My always says that she doesn’t want to have wasteful words… Meaning words that only bring waste and poison int to others lives. Neither do I. It is a challenge.
Proverbs 18:21 – Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Moe Bible Verses About Power Of The Tongue
I know when I get into the habit of complaining it is hard to get out of… I am glad to say I haven’t been in that havib for a while.When you let depression and dark thoughts control your emotions its really hard to beak free. So don’t go there if you can help it. Then suddenly today I found this picture today and it was perfect for what I need and I hope it will be perfect for what you need.
I’m still fighting sickness but I’ll be better soon in Jesus name! I’ve been working on getting closer to God on a one on one level. With all that I’ve been thinking a lot about where I have been and where I am now… Were am I now?? I thought for sure I was lost and going no where… That I haven’t done anything worth anything in years… Well that’ not true tho… Let me ask you – How often do you feel that way? How often do you wonder if what your doing has any purpose? Living is your purpose, doing the best that you can with what you have been given by God. I can’t tell you what your calling is, someday’s I am not sure what mine is. But I refuse to let life’s troubles keep me down no matter how bad things get. My life history is proof of that. ~hugs~ If you need a friend I am here for you. Please let me know if my blogs are something you enjoy reading. I cold use your encouragement and feedback. Thank you♥
God bless you today and always!
