All right. This isn’t a deep topic. It won’t change your world, but after a day of organizing, and watching an interesting episode of Wife Swap (One wife was super organized), I thought I’d yack about it.
I did somewhat of a Spring cleaning (well, Fall) in the My Documents portion of my computer. Which is [...]
My HERO *swoon*
How do you pick your leading man? He has to be all things to your heroine, kind, hot, sorta sensitive, manly, protective, but not neanderthal. Tortured, but redeemable. Wow, that’s a tall order. He also has to be strong enough to carry the load, as it were.
But forget about all that sensitive mumbo jumbo, lets [...]
Lacy Danes ~ Historical Erotic Romance
Hey all I’m glad to be invited to be your special guest this week.
For those who don’t know me I write Historical Erotic Romance… some with paranormal twists. I enjoy writing paranormal because it truly has no boundaries. Whatever your mind can think up, can happen. If you want to have a monkey that [...]
Indecisiveness
That*s what I was struggling with all last week. What the heck do I want to work on next? A story that is. Which one? There are so many brewing around in my head that I*m trying to figure out which one I want to focus on first and finish. And it gets even [...]

Holidays
I was out at my local Warehouse Store (Costco, Sams, pick a name) and noticed that along with the candy bags o’doom, they have Christmas decorations and ornaments. Now, the fact that the marketing for Christmas gets earlier every year is not something that I feel like ranting discussing just now, but I do wonder [...]
The Writing Game
So I’ve been thinking about it. How writing and trying to make it in this industry is kind of like a dance. Or something. Lord who knows. But here’s what it comes down to. You’ll always be moving.
You know that expression one step forward, two steps back? That’s how I feel about writing. Totally and [...]
Under Pressure
Every writer has a life outside of writing. We have friends, family, significant others, kids, bills, jobs, etc. etc. ad nauseam. All those outside things can cause serious pressure. Major stress. Overwhelming emotional trauma.
Still, through all that, we’re expected to write, to make beautiful words flow across the page with ease and emotion. No one [...]
View of the Unpublished
When the Novelty Girls were looking for a guest blogger, they extended a generous invitation to me. At first I refused. I’m not published. What can I add to a blog usually written by a group of published authors? I don’t have anything valuable to say.
Then I realized that I do this about my writing [...]
