I’m about to have a glass of wine. Had a weird sort of day. Couldn’t concentrate and I really needed to today. I soared through rewrites on two chapters yesterday and part of a third one. Sent off some chapters to my cp. Then today, I found myself haunting blogs, lurking on conversations I found…

Current Writing and New Designs!
It’s been a little while since I posted about the store. I’ve been neglecting the poor thing. Too busy on these re-writes. I’m officially a fourth of the way in. Planned to be further, but decided a two week break was needed between the first draft and the next. Things needed to simmer a bit. …
Confession
Ever sit up half the night because you can’t put a book down? Ever find yourself sobbing uncontrollably in the early morning hours experiencing a tangled mass of confusing emotions? Isn’t it something when we invest so much emotionally into a character that when he or she is ecstatic or hurting and devastated, we feel it as…
Whining, Calories and Puffy Face Monsters
So, anyone know how to lose weight in your face? I know. I’m 37 now and can’t expect to look like I’m still in my twenties. Yeah, I’m whining today. But don’t worry, it’s all in fun. <g> I’m nearly six feet tall and everyone tells me I’m at a good weight–that I was a skeleton before. …
Living In Your Head
I HAD A FUNNY PIC HERE OF ME AS A TEEN PRETENDING TO STRANGLE MY LITTLE BROTHER. I’VE DELETED THE IMAGE BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE ARRIVING HERE OFF THE MOST HORRIBLE SEARCHES. There was a long time in my life where my family moved often. Yeah, I can be social, but it’s only after I get…
Could She Be A…?
Ever notice how interesting non-writers find writers? Whenever I’m forced to write in public (still a mom first and I can’t tell you how many karate or dance classes I’ve sat through) I’ll notice surreptitious glances thrown my way. I wear my bangs long and sometimes, I can watch them through strands of hair and…
Friday Ramble
Don’t know where my head was on that list. John Cusack isn’t on it. I’m afraid he’d beat out John Stewart. <g> Okay, I’m way behind on the Scene From a Pic, so I’m going to put that up here for the weekend instead of art and music. I had music lined up, but I…
Can’t Post Without Being Grumpy Today
I’m upset. Too upset to post in a polite, articulate manner. Bloglines people will have read my evil ranting, but I decided to turn it into a phantom post so now it’s gone. I’ll be back to my “write” self soon…
Happy Stuff, Difficult Stuff, Good Music and SFAP Reminder
I love magnolias. 🙂 My rewrites are still going a bit slow. They’ll pick up once I’m past chapter four. I wrote the first four chapters in third person with more than one POV, so I’m having to rewrite entirely in 1st before all the layering can work. I’ve found that there were a few…
Search String Fun
Having a blast looking at the searches that ended up on my blog again. Warning: Some of them are uh, strange. Warning 2: I apologize ahead of time for exposing you to my unfortunate sense of humor. Worf Penises– Nothing like a grand kick-off. I posted a pic of Worf once. Think it was in…
