I hate resolutions. Inevitably, I make ones that I can’t possibly keep and then feel guilty when I don’t. It’s not the typical weight loss resolution, either (fibromyalgia + hormonal disorders = near impossible to lose weight). It’s usually writing-related; I expect far too much of myself, and these past two years have taught me [...]
New Year’s Resolutions and Gena Showalter
This week on The Novelty Girls, we’ll be chatting about New Year’s resolutions.
And, in my effort to avoid any actual work of my own, I’ve brought in an awesome guest to chat about her goals for next year.
Since my nefarious plot has been revealed, I’ll let you get on with our regularly scheduled programming [...]
Happy Pick-Your-Winter-Holiday!
The Novelty Girls are a mix of everything, so I could wish you a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Blessed Yule, or just Happy New Year.
Anyway, from all of us at TNG to all of you, Happy Pick-Your-Winter-Holiday!
Relax and enjoy this time while we’re all away partying with family and friends…or test your stress [...]
Tradition! (Makes Me Think Of “Fiddler On The Roof”)
Tradition!
From my childhood, my favorite tradition was when my mom would pull out the Creche scene. (I didn’t even know you called it a Nativity Scene until I was in my twenties). She has a Hummel set, rare, from Germany. It’s beautiful, precious, and I loved it.
Every Christmas, she and I would unwrap the precious [...]
Lyric’s Holiday Traditions
I don’t exactly “remember” a lot of holiday traditions when I lived with my parents other than food. My mom always cooks. Always and it is “yummy.”
However, now that I’m older, married, and have my own family, we have established some holiday traditions mostly because my husband had them and wanted to do the [...]
Holiday Traditions
My folks didn’t have a whole lot in the way of family traditions, at least not the way they’re commonly presented. Most of my extended family lived scattered across the country, mostly on the opposite side. Getting everyone together just wasn’t happening, particularly as Mom often had to work Christmas night.
I think the biggest traditions [...]
Holiday Traditions and Kate Douglas!
This week at The Novelty Girls we’ll be talking about holiday traditions, and I’ve brought in an extra special guest blogger to tell us about her holiday jollies. (Seriously, look down at the picture of the dog. It cracks me up!)
AND, if it wasn’t awesome enough that she came to hang out with us [...]
It Ain’t Just Fairies….
The one thing you can anticipate from Dayna, whether it’s a Dayna Hart fantasy or a Rowan Larke hard hitting erotic paranormal or her young adult book she’s currently pounding away on, is that she will never give you the “normal” or “same idea”. She might have fairies, but they aren’t pretty little magic people. [...]
What The Heck Is A Theme Anyway?
I must admit that I don’t think about “theme” when I write. BUT…if I really have to think about it, I believe most of the stories I write center around self discovery.
My heroines and hero’s always seem to discover something about themselves that they didn’t know at the beginning of the story. More so than [...]
Themes in Jen’s work
Yeah. We called Personal Foul on this week’s topic, so Jen and I are trading off. She can tell you about the brilliance of my work, and I’ll tell you about hers. Because frankly, I feel like a pretentious shmuck when I say “oh yes, I consciously embedded the theme of — into my work.” [...]
