What Are You Talking About? …. I Never Waste Time

OK…that is such a big lie.
My favorite time wasters….

I love my Cobb author buddies!

I love my author buddies!

I love books!

I’ve really tried to cut back on my TV watching this summer. TV Guide online allows me to keep up with my two favorite soaps…Y&R and General Hospital. Plus, you can get some [...]

Procrastinators R Us

Hey, it’s summer what else do you expect?
So I know I’m supposed to blog about ‘net time wasters, but that isn’t my problem this time of year. Nope. My problem is it hasn’t been under 95 in weeks and I have a pool and patio. And the sunburn to prove it.
Other than [...]

Procrastination… What’s That?

(And everybody who knows me starts giggling. )
Since I am effectively a stay-at-home writer, I have plenty of spare time for, well, wasting. ^_^
Of course, there’s the awesome Romance Divas community, including forums and a very addictive chatroom. That’s probably my biggest time-sink, right there — talking about writing instead of writing. *whistles*
Okay, maybe [...]

Wasted Days and Wasted Nights

Crystal started a topic that I feel I’m really well prepared for. Internet time wasters.
Youtube has really become a huge one, and Yahoo games like Bookworm and Alchemy.  Of course all the forums, Romance Divas, Passionate Ink, Samhain yahoo group etc.
Then there are all the blogs to go to, sexy guy pics on Beautiful  http://www.beautifulmag.eu/beautiful/ Not [...]

Favorite Internet Time Wasters

Okay, this week I’m starting off a list of my favorite internet time wasters. You know, those places I go when I should be writing or working. Yeah, those places.
In my number one spot, the Romance Divas forum.

And in second place, YouTube.

And a close third, Internet Movie Database.

Reading Through Time

I thought to show my eclectic reading habits, I’d give you a ride through time as I learned to appreciate books.
Whinnie The Pooh
When I was little, my dad would read these stories to me.  Somehow, he captured all the whimsy in the characters and I’ve loved Pooh ever since.
Dune by Frank Herbert
At around thirteen, two [...]

Book + Reading = Pleasure

With summer here, I’ve been devouring books it seems. I don’t think a week has passed that I haven’t visited the library or Barnes & Noble for “something” to read. So, in honor of this weeks theme I’ll share with you what I have read, what I am reading, and what’s in my TBR pile.
Have [...]

Loads of Books…SCADS of books…MOUNTAINS of books…

Guest blogging with me today: My 11 year old son, the Bookworm.
My reading list this summer is eclectic as always, and includes some of my staple authors, as well as some who are new to me.It also includes a ridiculous amount of YA books as I try to understand the workings of my oldest boy’s [...]

Is it my turn?

Is it me or does Thursday just keep coming faster every week? Crys emailed a few days ago saying this week’s theme is easy! Um. Right. It would be easy if I weren’t so busy trying to get everything done before Nationals that I just haven’t been reading much. I know. Bad writer. No cookie. [...]

I Can Has Book?

 

Hmm, how many of us with animals have had this particular experience? (We have one particular cat who likes to chew on books. We are quickly breaking her of that habit.)
I haven’t been doing a whole lot of reading lately. I’ve been fighting off the Killer Death Flu, and this one includes bouts of [...]
