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 [...]
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.

I Love/Hate “Me”
Oh how can I count the ways. There are days when I look in the mirror and go “Ugh!”…and then there are days when I can’t help but say, “Hey hot stuff!” I’m always in a constant battle to lose weight. Always! And I’ve done it. I’ve lost anywhere from 5 pounds to 35 pounds [...]
Boy have we stepped in it…
this week. Awesome topic Crystal.
I’m a Christian. Yep, I said it. I believe in God. Heaven. Hell. The Bible. The Ten Commandments. All of that stuff. It was my upbringing and nothing profound has happened in my life to alter my perception of that fact.
However, I also say…to each his/her own. Live “your” [...]
Less Well Traveled
Oh boy….after reading everybody’s posts this week, I realize that I am severely less than well traveled. Have GOT to change that.

There Just Might Be Something To That Old Plotting Thing
I’m taking a plotting class this month and using it to thoroughly plot out the YA novel I want to begin writing somewhere around mid-February to the beginning of March. I need to finish a couple of other projects first though before I start on it, because its the only thing I want to work [...]
Midnight Musings…
I’ve been sitting at home practically all day today pondering what to post about. I missed my post last Saturday because I went to a retreat. Today…I’m just blank. So, I’ll give you a myriad of musings going on in my mind right now.
1. I have two stories I’m trying to complete right now. The [...]
Mandatory Tools For A Writer
Internet! Email! IM!
I mean it. It’s true. We wouldn’t survive without them. For me…it’s IM. Take last night. I was in the middle of writing, at the end of the first chapter and I got stuck. My story is about a guy who begins to get death threats via “notes” and instead of contacting the [...]
