At this point, I am less than 7,000 words away from finishing my manuscript for Silhouette Desire! That basically means one good day of writing (well, one best day) or at the most, two days. By tomorrow afternoon, I should be revising and reading through the finished manuscript. I can hardly believe it! Even though I technically finished a version of this a few months ago, it needed some serious help. After I sort of reworked the plot, the story changed significantly and even though I was able to use a lot of what was already written, I still had…

Every time one of our most favorite reality shows begins, my sister and I choose the person or team we think will win the whole thing. We don’t even wait for the first episode to air, we simply go online and look at the character’s videos or biographies, then choose the person we think most likely to win. We always say we’re going to put money on it, but so far that really hasn’t been the focus. I think it’s more about the bragging rights than anything else. Here are the shows we are watching and choosing from this Fall:…

I was so sad to hear that Patrick Swayze finally succumbed to his pancreatic cancer. For a while there, he was the star of two of my favorite movies – “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost”. I know he starred in a lot more movies than just those two, but in my heart, he will always be remembered for those specific two. Especially Dirty Dancing. He made that movie what it was. Something else that always touched me about Patrick Swayze was the fact that he was one of the few Hollywood stars who actually seemed to be in love with his…

On my writer’s loop this morning, I got a link to this article, discussing a man named Robert M. Fletcher who, with his girlfriend and two other accomplices, managed to scam would-be writers out of half a million dollars a year for four years. Reading through it, I started to think, who would fall for that? We’re all taught that there are vanity publishers out there who will ask for money in order to publish your novel. But as I read further, I saw that they had a link to one of his “fake” websites. It looks like a real,…

I could hardly believe my eyes when I read this news! What? Ellen is replacing Paula Abdul on Idol? I thought it was a joke at first. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ellen. I think she’s hilarious. But what experience does she have in the music industry? What expertise could she possibly bring to the show? Maybe the producers are just trying to even out the whole “package” and industry talk of new judge Kara Dioguardi by bringing in someone who has no clue about that shit. Ellen, I guess, is supposed to be the token judge who only…

Yay for ANTM! It has to be one of my favorite reality shows of all time. Mostly because I love to watch the photo shoots and to see the final results, which are almost always beautiful or interesting or, in some instances a complete mess. I like to watch the drama between the women in the house, and tonight’s premiere should be FULL of drama. Cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model is all about petite women. With the exception of Eva Pigford, (now Eva Marcille – guess ‘pig’ isn’t conducive to getting modeling jobs) who won cycle 3 at…
