Got derailed on research today, so I’m working tonight to make up my word goal.  I love the research part because it never fails to spark ideas.  I came up with some excellent twists today from it, so making up the rest of my word goal should be simple tonight.  I’m off to take care…

Yes, I did start my word count last week, but September is my official fast draft session.  Completely informal and without rules, I’m hoping to have a decent rough draft by the end of the month.  This book will be quite a bit shorter than my usual, but knowing me, will increase in size during…

Someone visited my blog using this search: Klingon in a thong. This is just crying out for a limerick…  Any takers? Anyone else wish they were going to Dragoncon?  To keep in the know, visit DragonconTV.  I swiped this pic from there.  I probably won’t do a word update until much later.

So… I loaded up my software late this morning and stared at it.  Then stared at it some more.  Realized I still have a bit of plotting to do, but instead got up and grabbed lunch.  Returned to eat while staring.  Wished for more food, especially since I spent the morning reading Brooke Taylor’s Undone…

This site lists Ten Truly Underrated Science Fiction Movies–I’d LOVE to hear your feedback on the choices.  And uh, will you laugh to find out I own a copy of Enemy Mine??? 😉 http://www.movieretriever.com/blog/editors/115/Ten-Truly-Underrated-Sci-Fi-Movies And for something completely different: My daughter and I LOVE this movie.  The music is wonderful.  We went through so many emotions–from tears,…

I have some unexpected time!  I didn’t know how to feel about it earlier.  There are both good and bad aspects to this new situation. But, the hubby surprised me.  He brought up using this time to finish the first draft of WTT.  Oh, he is soooo smart, my beautiful man.  😉   With what…

I don’t always like these.  I prefer to add a flavor to my own strong coffee, but this one is seriously yummy. Don’t forget Rachel’s giveaway!  Check out Jeaniene Frost’s new cover.  I didn’t think it could get better than the first one in the series, but the color scheme and sexy pose on this…

My critique partner, Rachel Vincent, is hosting a give-a-way on her blog and all you have to do is comment.  She also posted a picture of the two of us at Brooke’s signing Saturday evening. 🙂

A glimpse into Chaos. 😉   Yesterday was full.  Left the house at seven thirty for football practice, scrimmages and weigh-in.  That was done around twelve thirty.  Five. Hours.  It has rained so much here lately, the humidity is something else.  It was a long, long, hot morning.  We returned home only to face backed…

I’ve been missing Whedon so much, I’ve been playing old show episodes.  So… how many of you have seen this????  Can we start the letters to keep it from being canceled now?  Get a head start? 😉 http://www.dollverse.com/trailer/
