Dear Lovely People Who Come To My Site Via Search Engines:
1. I do not personally know Axel Rose. Therefore, I cannot tell you what he’s doing now or where he lives, nor do I have any naked pictures of him. All I do is play several Guns n’ Roses songs over […]

1. Just so you all know, Dell does NOT count Friday as a day of business. Hence, if you call them on a Friday, they will not place any orders on Fridays. Even if you call at 6am on a Friday. So, just to repeat, in the world of Dell, the […]

Couldn’t resist. And it is one of my favorite colors.

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You’re smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people’s conflicts well.
Your saturation level […]

My laptop’s been running hotter than normal, and I hadn’t heard the fan turn on for quite a while. Called Dell, they sent a technician over (since I was not stuck on stupid when I opted for a 2 year hardware warranty) and the fan was replaced.
I was up at 4am this morning, due […]

I’ve got a lot of technology going on around here. Between the computers and the networking and the new BlackBerry, I’m kind of trying to get stuff organized in terms of data, so I don’t lose all my phone numbers and addresses like I did in the Great Palm Pilot Crash of 2005.

First, a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in Larissa’s auction, whether by donating, bidding, buying and / or helping to spread the word. It was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without the online community’s support. Larissa’s safely at her moms, dealing with insurance issues and trying to […]

I’m not talking about the last hundred pages. I wish I was. But no, I’m talking about a completely different animal here.
Does any writer out there have an easy time writing from page 200 to page 300 in their books? (I’m talking ST’s - for Category, this stage would hit you at about […]

Day 2 of Larissa’s auction ends at 8 pm PST. You can place your final bids here.
Day 3 ends on Wednesday night at 8 pm PST.
Happy bidding!!

I caught up on my revisions today - I was a few days behind and I really want to stay on track for finishing them by September 30th. And then I’ll have to go through for another swipe, mainly to flesh out scenes where I wrote things like, this needs dialogue, or expand sex […]

So the husband and I were looking for Halloween costumes for the four year old. I was really kind of pushing for the cute cammy/soldier costume. Surprisingly, this choice did not get the most votes from the family.
I know - I was shocked too.
The husband wanted Yoda. My mother wants […]

I’m finally settling in to write today. Well, tonight. *crosses fingers*
This morning, I went to visit my house. It’s very dusty but the addition is all framed in and the walls are down. I’ve got to say, it’s going to be a very cool space. When there are, like, real walls […]

Day 1 of Larissa’s Auction ended last night at 8 PST. (Days 2 & 3 are still live.) Which means, it was 11pm for me here. Which meant, that at 11:01 pm, about 60 emails from the ebay winners plus about 30 paypal emails poured into my inbox. All. At. Once.
Of course, I […]

You can read why Emma declared it such here. And Alison could probably use some hugs, since she’s the one whose hard drive crashed, and she lost just about everything except her WIP that’s currently on deadline.
It’s easy to get complacent. I do, because I have 2 computers networked, so I save my […]

Random thoughts:
1. Sahara makes the list of movies that, IMHO, could’ve been so much better. (Previous movies […]

It’s been hectic this week, but in a good way because at least I’m able to do something to help, rather than just stare at the news and feel […]
