« Previous EntriesThe End Is Near
Nope….I’m not talking about anything as psychotic as the end of the world….(hell, at least I hope not *snicker*) or writing, well…I take that back. I am near the end with a couple of projects…but that’s not what my original thought was when I wrote that title.
The school year.
Yes!
Two more months. I know for some [...]
Flux
Yeah, okay, Lori’s post is all happy about Spring Sprunging and life changing. I’m here to say bah humbug.Ok…so I admit, I was REALLY excited to see little green shoots in my garden today.And stoked about not having to wear a coat when I went out.Turns out my kids aren’t evil balls of neediness, but [...]
Spring Has Sprung
Well, at least here in southern Bama it has. This is my favorite time of year, when it’s still bearable and we can live outside for awhile. Everything is blooming. The kids are psyched about school getting out in a couple of months. Excitement and newness in the air and all that good stuff.
I’ve [...]
The wily cover model
The new conversation appears to be the cover model. Maybe it’s because of RT coming up and the fact that there’s traditionally a cover model contest there. Maybe it’s due to Harlequin looking for “real” men for their covers. Maybe it’s just that we’re all obsessed with finding the perfect guy to grace the cover [...]
It’s….shopping season!
That’s right, Nationals is just around the corner, and I’m starting my shopping early. Why? So I can pay off the bills quicker. And why else am I shopping? Because I am kid free the next two days…and I CAN shop. You realize how much that doesn’t happen? I had the best day!
One thing I’m [...]
Anatomy of a Blurb
I was talking to R.G. Alexander about this very subject the other day. And then novelite Jennifer McKenzie asked me to help her write a blurb for an upcoming release.
I got to thinking about it. I actually like to write blurbs, but I bemoan, begrudge, and belittle synopses. They suck. I spit upon their very [...]
I’m a novelty!
First of all, I want to thank these fabulous girls for letting me guest-blog today. What fun! I adore being a novelty!
So, I loved Crystal’s blog, How Do Moms DO this? Not just because she wrote about being surrounded by hot, sweaty, naked construction men (I’m a writer, I change things to suit my needs), [...]
This and That…
“This” month has been totally unproductive…which is a shame since I was soooo productive in February. But actually, my writing usually goes like this. I finish a book or two and then go on a drought and take off for several weeks and read like a crazy person (see last Sat.’s post) because the creative [...]
What to do when you’re done?
When you finish a manuscript, and you’re feeling euphoric…what do you do?
I’m not big on finishing what I’ve started. (unless it’s chocolate related) It’s a sickness, really.But tonight I finished my book, one that I’ve loved from word one, even while fighting it, angsting that I was killing it, and all the other fun [...]
