Life With Money

I find myself wondering how life with a lot of money must feel like. Can you imagine what it would be like to never have to worry about how you’ll pay for something? To never be concerned that your electricity will be turned off or that you’ll default on your loans? To be able to just book a flight to London on the spur of the moment and make reservations in the finest hotel without a second thought about how much it costs? Budget is a word I know very well. I have been on a budget for well over…

No Looking Back – The Unedited Writing Process

I could revise my own writing all day everyday. In fact, I could probably take one chapter from my current w.i.p. (work in progress) and rewrite it over and over and over… never actually loving the end result. Therefore, if I decide that I can’t move on to the next chapter until I’m happy with the one before, I’ll never get anything finished. Now that it is crunch time and there are only 25 days until the conference, I have no choice but to enter non-editing mode. No looking back. Even if what ends up on the page is complete…

Weight Loss – 6 pounds down

I can’t believe it! I’ve actually lost six pounds! There’s still about 38 or so to go, but hey, 6 pounds is a great re-start after being around the same 190-195 pounds for the past year or so. I know they say diet pills are bad for you, blah blah blah, but I decided to try something anyway, and so far, the results are positive. I’ve been taking Apidexin, which I take twice a day, 30 minutes before breakfast and lunch. I started last week with Detoxufree 72, a 72 hour detox program of pills which definitely seemed to jump…

Yucky Day

My dog won’t even come out of her crate this morning. I think she hears the rain beating down on the roof. She’s thinking, “No way I’m going out in that to pee, lady, so lock me back in here.” She’ll have to go out eventually, of course. It’s inevitable. And from the looks of it, it’s been raining for hours… and it isn’t going to stop any time soon. Flood warnings flash red on my computer screen and the handy 12 hour forecast shows puffy gray rain clouds with drops of rain spewing forth from them for the rest…

Pen Names

I guess a pen name is really something you shouldn’t worry about until you actually have a book to put it on, but I want to be prepared so I’ve already been giving it a lot of thought. Plus, it’s just fun to daydream about every aspect of my career. The idea of a pen name is something that really requires some extra thought anyway. Like trying to figure out whether to even use one… That’s a really big decision. There’s a part of me that has always wanted to see my name on the cover of a book in…

Plot Problems

This week is supposed to be about getting tons of writing done, with no worries about editing or things like that. So, how’s it going? Big thumbs down if you ask me. I’m having plot issues. This isn’t anything new really. After all, I’ve been working on this novel off and on for months, and the plot has changed several times. This is really my first time writing with a specific romance series in mind, and targeting something so incredibly specific has been a lot harder than I ever imagined. The trick is to write something unique within the confines…
