I am back in the groove and churning out words (YAY!) My forced break was good for me in a lot of ways. I got refueled creatively and spent some much needed down time. But now, my brain is on overload again.
This new tale of mine is not a romance but oh my lawdy does [...]

Conference Week, Ahoy!
Yay! It’s here! Conference Week has arrived!
Is everyone all packed…with pitches prepared…and off-the-cuff comments polished?

I repeat, “Yay!” Classes and pitches and best of [...]

I’m not writing a real blog today because I have to move and no one reads this anyway, lol. We have like two days to get out of here and a whole lot of stuff left. Ugh. Wish me luck and I’ll see you next Monday!

Reading and More reading
Well boogers.
For the past month, Ii have battled more computer hassles than Dell after an electrical storm. My hard drive fried, then my router gave up the ghost, my monitor fizzled out and my brand new laptop froze up. Yeah, needless to say, me and writing? Not a good combo. I even cursed Hubby’s blackberry [...]

Fairies, Fiends, and Flatulence (Thank you, Mr. Colfer!)
Made you look!!
Eoin Colfer, creator of the delightful Artemis Fowl series, is a master at pulling small boys (and writers who never grew up) into his prose…and this title to his speaking tour is a great example. My eldest daughter (who hasn’t read ANY of his books) fell prey to the title and treated me [...]

Shattering
Forgive me for the shortness of this post – I recently cracked open my copy of Stephanie Meyer’s TWILIGHT and my sleep and other activities have seen a severe time reduction. Good book. I’m still on the fence as to whether the sexual tension in YA romance makes them more intriguing reads or more frustrating [...]

Enough already
Seriously, enough. I have had enough bullsh*t for quite a while. I am full to the gills with crap. I Finally am sitting down to write this blog entry and need a breather and a major bullcrap enema.
I finally get my hard drive back and things up and running and then my freaking DSL box [...]
