Category: My Writing Life

I do apologize for my absence lately. I am immersed in Fictionland and am only coming up for air when I have to do Mom stuff. I even sat in my car for the two hours of karate yesterday and wrote frantically in a notebook. My poor kids. I had an idea during dinner and…

I checked with my dentist about getting my daughter’s teeth whitened. She just got her braces off and they look so nice and straight, but they could use a bit of shine. 300 dollars for them to make a tray and give us the bleaching agent to wear at night. I’ve heard the liquid isn’t…

Do you ever have a difficult time sliding back into reality after a long bout of writing? I always feel a bit disjointed, wandering around the house blinking and reacquainting myself with the world I’ve made for myself. Sometimes, I’ll be writing and notice the foot is wiggling and certain areas of my body have…

The husband surprised us with an evening at the lake. We picked up dinner then desperately tried to hold onto it and eat as the wind tried to ruin everything. This is a beautiful lake in OKC. No swimming, but it’s fun to go out in the evening and watch the sailboats. There are wide…

I bought one of my sisters this shirt for Christmas. You can find it here. Can’t Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me – T-Shirts, License Plate Frames, Stickers and I found it highly amusing that people had devoted an entire website to the fear of clowns, but then I remembered that scene in Poltergeist. Even though…

I’m working today. I actually have the house to myself which is so unusual, I’m fighting shock. I thought about running around singing loud to music, but no. It’s raining, the sound lovely and soothing. I am taking this time for myself and my work today. (I’m also extremely happy because the rain means less…

I’m trying to go wireless. Bought a router. Bought a USB wireless adapter. Loaded the software. The router works. Yay! The laptop is not stepping up to the plate. I work on it for nearly two hours before calling the 24 hour tech number. I know better but it’s been a really, really bad day…

I promise to get back to some serious writing posts. I’m in a goofy mood this week as you could probably tell from the last post. I do have a blast with my writer friends and I’m suffering a bit from summer fever. I am, however, fed up with my cable modem or the cable…

Okay, I asked Kelli to make a pic of me with Adrian Brody. I had that one where I was looking up and he’s got to be taller than I am. How tall is he? These are so good and the King Kong one CRACKS ME UP!!!! Make sure you visit Kelli Blogs to see…

Blogger will not let me leave comments. I’ve been blacklisted. I can see comments from other people, but I get this weird page whenever I submit. I. Have. Had. It. I’m going to type this up before I’m either kicked off or Blogger shuts me down again. Between this and my constantly resetting cable modem…
