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…

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…

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…

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…

Pretty much all I have been reading lately is Silhouette Desire. That’s partly because I want to understand the tone and the plots and the general overview of the line since I am writing one. It’s also just because I enjoy reading them. There’s something wonderful about reading a relatively short and satisfying romance novel about a very rich, very handsome, strong man who falls in love with an independent and headstrong woman. It’s pure fantasy. Maya Banks’ second book in “The Anetakis Tycoons” mini-series, which is called “The Tycoon’s Rebel Bride” is one of the best Desires I have…

Two American Journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, were sentenced over the weekend in North Korea for “hostile acts”. They were first captured back in March and their families here in the States have been praying for their release. For months, all they have had to go on is notes that have been sent, but on June 4th, the two women went on trial and were sentenced to a shocking 12 years in a North Korean labor camp. My jaw dropped when I read the news, and I cannot stop thinking about these poor women. You might be asking, “What…
