Need my fix

I’m beginning to think I spend too much time online. How do I know this? We-ell. There’s little clues.
Like when I talk on the phone sometimes, and someone says something funny… I’ve caught myself from saying LOL. Saying, not typing. It makes no sense. Have you ever done that? Do you realize how nutty that [...]

How do moms DO this?

Tammy Faye baker is staring at me. Her record (vinyl original) was a gag gift from friends. I keep it hidden on my bookshelf, but the bookshelf is now squished up against my desk facing me.
There’s a bald, fat man in my office painting today. I’m not trying to write, not trying to be creative [...]

Well…..It’s The Weekend

And instead of writing and resting…I’m attending more parties. I woke up, cooked breakfast, cleaned up, washed clothes. Then, it was off to the party. And while I was there I remembered that I’d forgotten to post. I was like crap! So, I’m finally home now…for about five seconds, before I have to leave and [...]

March Break Madness

Friday. The end of a week of no school for my kids. I have no idea where the time went. We cleaned and rearranged their rooms and didn’t do much of anything fun. Ok…so the oldest two played a lot of video games, which is hilarious to watch.
In an attempt to not be the lamest [...]

The To Do List From…

well a fiery hot place. Man. Anyone else have a to do list that’s like two pages long? At the top of mine is answer email. If you’re waiting for something from me, let me apologize in advance cause it could take awhile!
I put everything, and I do mean everything, on hold to finish [...]

A new way to summarize

Most writers that I know have a hate-on for that dreaded document that must accompany most submissions, either partial or full. What is it? Say it with me, now.
The synopsis.
I have finally, FINALLY gotten to the point where I can write them without crying most of the time, but it’s still not something that I’d [...]

Type Cast

So I’m almost done with that sci fi book I was talking about. I’m thrilled. I wrote 75k in two months. I’ve just gotta finish it up, type The End, and send it out to the crit group. Then… well, what happens next?
I’m at this moment of…is this the best thing I’ve ever written? It [...]

Bemoaning Monday

Dude, I really hate Mondays. Just the sound of it is tantamount to a four letter word in my book.
Plus, and this is just me whining, we had daylight savings. Tell me why it’s a good idea to give people jet lag when they aren’t getting on a plane? Makes. No. Sense. I mean, who [...]

I’ve Lost My Mind

…..Well, not really. But close. About two weeks ago I agreed to spend my Saturday with 10 7-10 year old girls. A sleepover! Yes, it’s that time of year where as a parent I go out of my way and spend goo-gobs of money for a birthday party. My oldest is 10 years old and [...]

Promotion

So, I’ve spent the week in promotion-hell. No, not actually doing it…reading about it. And learning I have a lot to learn. And a lot to do. I’ve got a plan, at least, but I have no idea how long it’ll take to get everything organized. Figuring out what I like to do v. what [...]
