About Me

Southern France
Lynn Deasy is a freelance writer, author, foodie, and garden tinkerer. She lives in a 600 year old house in southern France with her husband, Christophe. Currently, she is looking for a literary agent for her memoir CA VA? STORIES FROM RURAL LIFE IN SOUTHERN FRANCE which examines the oddities of French provincial living from an outsider’s point of view through a series of adventures that provide more than a fair share of frustration, education, admiration, and blisters…. yes, lots and lots of blisters. Lynn blogs every Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes Friday.

And sometimes Friday.


United States had the most hits this week, so it's the darkest green,
but any shaded country is where a connection was made too.
 
Some of you might have noticed I’ve missed a few Friday posts over the last month or so.  I sweated about the first one, but then I noticed the world didn’t stop and people still came back to the blog without a complaint.  Then I missed another, and another.  I don’t like saying I’m going to do something and then let slide, so I’ve decided to make a minor adjustment: and sometimes Friday; that is, I’m changing my statues from “Lynn blogs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to and sometimes Friday.”
The change is all in the wording.  I’ll still blog on Fridays, but I don’t want to set myself up for something that might not happen every time.  This way, when I do post, it’s more of a bonus than a letdown; a positive spin, so to say.

Life: that’s the reason for the change.  Like you, I’ve got responsibilities and I want to live up to them.  I want to experience the moments I share, not just hear about them from others. I’m going to be taking this time to research a few more agents, look into independent publishing, and after some serious nudging, start my next book.  I’ve got a few chapters ideas in my head that need to be jotted down anyway.  I might even try to weasel in some cooking.
I’m thrilled for the following I have, and am overjoyed with the worldwide support I get.  I see it all on a global map blogspot provides me. I get to see what posts are popular and where the hits come from. For examples, hits from the United States: clearly my friends and family and hopefully, some agent checking out my work; hits from Ireland: friends of old who I’ve never forgotten and a time I hold dear; Australia: perhaps some family, and then there are the many others from Russia, Africa, and South America which I may never know the face behind.  Regardless, I love the support and hope my blog is providing those outside France the “French touch” they are looking for and some insight on the daily ins and outs here.
So, I’ll be back on Monday, perhaps with news of the weekend, a lunch menu, or just a funny story to share.  The same goes for Wednesday, and sometimes Friday.
