I just looked at my watch, which claims it’s the 31st. So really, I’m still back in February somewhere. Mainly because I’m on revision deadline and I need those lost February days, especially the ones I lost when I was sick with the flu along with my kid and Zoo. So don’t ruin my illusion, [...]
I had to call the dry cleaners because there was some small mix up with Zoo’s shirts…so I call and I’m like, Hi, it’s Zoo’s wife (because he’s the one who always goes there since it’s on the way to the train – I’ve been like, once.)
The woman who answered was like, Oh, Zoo’s wife!!! [...]
1. Snow will not ruin my weekend plans because those include sitting in bed writing, reading and eating cake. And catching up on TV shows I missed.
2. I missed Burn Notice again last night…and Celebrity Rehab. And the Real Housewives of Orange County. And Grey’s. Falling asleep will do that.
3. Jaci Burton has a new [...]
I was battling a migraine and trying to get things done, like some guest blogs I owe, plus adding to a scene for my newest proposal that agent suggested, plus working on one of those, just for me projects. The day went surprisingly well, because I just took it all slowly.
I decided to put the [...]
A happy and healthy new year to all!
I’m home and writing tonight. And pretty much tied to the computer until I’m done with Zane’s book, but we had a yummy dinner of empanadas and spinach and feta cheese filo and brownies! Appetizers and desserts – the only way to go!
Of course, now I’m tired [...]
Gus was born in Vermont and spent some time the Adirondacks before he came to live with us when he was three months old and 20 lbs. Now, he’s two years old and probably about 100 lbs.
And he loves the snow.
If you couldn’t tell…
I don’t really have writing superstitions, per se, but I definitely have rituals. For instance, I write about half my book longhand and half on the computer. For the longhand part, I use Clairefontaine notebooks, because the paper quality is amazing, and since I like to use more of a marker-like pen, I can write [...]
Dear November -
It is November, as you should know. Hence, that means nice, chilly fall weather. I do not like needing the air conditioning this time of year, as I live no where near Florida. Also, I’m tired of finding ticks crawling around the bed via Gus’s unsuspecting body. Please bring the frost on now.
Thank [...]
I guess at one point I used the expression, damn straight, skippy, around my mother. A conversation ensued in which my mother asked who this skippy was.
I tried to explain that it was just an expression (trust me, this took a while) and then she said, I’m going to start using it.
Except she couldn’t remember it. [...]
1. I wanted to order this cool pumpkin cake for Halloween, except Zoo told me I was insane (his point?) and besides, no one was coming here for Halloween. Except now, we’re having lots of friends here for dinner and Williams Sonoma is out of the cake. Or it was yesterday. Which was the last day to [...]
