I have so SO many books in my TBR pile at the moment that I’m dying to get to, but until I finish up a few things, there’s no way. Sneaking in a few chapters here and there never works, especially if I fall in love with the book, because then I have to […]

Feels like it should be Friday. Thursday, at least…
Okay, so the second 1/3 of Linger is a go with a few easy additions and changes. I’ve got a list of scenes I need to add in and flesh out but it’s all basically come together. Which is a relief because I do love […]

First of all, I’m having a wonderful release month (and trying to ignore migraine from hell) - I’ve gotten so many wonderful emails from readers who’ve enjoyed Coming Undone - reader mail is THE most wonderful thing ever!!!:biggrin:
(random aside: One of my favorite sites, Astrology for Writers, is gone. Page no longer found. […]

Between yesterday and today, I’m doing my Christmas baking. Because (oh, another thing I do to drive my editor crazy - starting sentences with because! Hopefully she is too busy deleting the becauses from my manuscript to read my blog)…anyway, where was I, oh, right - Christmas baking because even though I don’t […]

I didn’t get nearly as much done this past week as I would’ve liked. Between the husband being away, the kid not sleeping well and my migraine, writing was sporadic. I did spend a lot of time thinking - which I know looks a lot like I’m just staring into space or at […]

What should’ve happened yesterday:
Husband: Want to order a movie?
Me: No! Absolutely not! I have work to do.
Husband: I’m so proud of you and your strict work ethic. Go to it!
What really happened yesterday:
Husband: Want to order a movie?
Me: Sure. And let’s make popcorn too.
But after the movie […]

I don’t even get Mother’s Day off from writing, because of Larissaslavedriver. But hey, an entire day free to just write and then dinner with the husband and the four year old? I can’t really think of anything better. Except cake.
This is just so wrong, btw:

Your Mommy Is Martha Stewart

What You Call […]

I’ve talked about this before, but I think finding the time of day that works best for you, writing-wise, is important. I’ve always been a night person, but that’s challenging with the four year old, because by the time night rolls around I’ve already lived a full-time job. Getting up earlier would […]

I’ve already eaten one chocolate bunny. The others have gone into hiding, but I’ll find them.

You Are a Chocolate Bunny

A traditionalist, you secretly want to dress up like a bunny. And not just on Easter.

Have a great day, all!! Enjoy the sugar high.

You were born somewhere in the territory of modern South New Zealand around the year 1425.
Your profession was that of a builder of houses, temples and cathedrals.
Funny, I would definitely have thought […]

I’ve been keeping a little too busy with RL, judging from the dust around this place. Going to clean up and get back on the horse, so to speak, in the next few days. I’ve got to post more, update my sidebar, etc. But I have been writing - DI is inching […]

I’m making slow but sure progress on chapters 4 - 6 of DI, mainly because I finally realized what I needed to change to make it all work. It took about ten pages of free writing, which is really another form of babbling to myself, to figure it out. And today’s horoscope for […]

Since I don’t like making New Year’s Resolutions, I’ve decided to let a blog quiz make them for me. It seemed harmless enough.

Your New Year’s Resolutions

1) Get a pet parrot
2) Eat more escargot
3) Travel to Holland
4) Study communism
5) Get in shape with naked yoga

What Should Your New Year’s Resoluton Be?

I’d never make it in this company:
The time-honored office tradition of whining at the water cooler just might get you fired, according to a newly compiled list of workplace horrors around the world. Two workers who exceeded the official limit of two moans per employee at one unnamed German firm were fired this year. […]
