Moving Day: I Have a New Blogger Web Address

To all my faithful friends and followers:

With the changing of the new year, I've decided what better time than now to redirect my blog to its new home on Blogger. As you all know by now (or anyone who checks out my blog), I love anything and everything chick lit and I want my site to be more easily accessible and known to this subject. After coming up with several different ideas, I've decided on the title, Lip Gloss and Literature". I hope you all like it and decide to visit me there.

Please come follow me on my new blog where you will find all of the posts that were here and many more to come at:

Wish Upon A Star: Not Just a Blog Title

where you wish upon a star.....

My blog title comes from a dream, a wish and a combination of sayings....I wanted to create a blog that followed me on one (or even many) dreams throughout my life. Currently, one of my focuses is on my dream of becoming a published chick lit author. This blog follows me on that journey...as I wish upon my own star...along the way I read a lot of chick lit novels. I review a lot of chick lit books and audio books and I share little snippets from my day that makes everything personal and unique about my wish.

As someone who loves writing (and also a good play on words), I considered various literary terms and famous quotes for my blog address. I thought about my favorite stories as a child and how they often had two things in common: 1.) they always seemed to "live happily ever after" and 2.) they began "once upon a time"....From there, my train of thought moved onto fairy tales and then to Walt Disney...and that's when I heard the tune to "When you wish upon a star" playing in my head.....how can I make it my own? even just a little? Hmmm....I pictured the little cartoon, Jiminy Cricket...I envisioned people clicking on their mouse to visit my blog.....and I pictured bright, twinkling stars over a blue sky...and so it came to be:

where you wish upon a star: a place where I can share my dream of becoming a chick lit author and the journey I take to get there...



more and more elements became intertwined as I've continued writing in this blog, mostly including stars, dreams and anything chick lit...
