  • Lunch with A Mentor

    I am so excited I could cry! An author who regularly publishes in the same line at Harlequin that I want to publish with has agreed to have lunch with me this Sunday!! She publishes at least 3 or 4 books a year with Silhouette Desire, and she has a brand new book coming out in April that has already gone up for sale on the eHarlequin website. I have been reading a lot of her books lately, and she really is one of the best authors at Desire (imho). She puts conflict on every page, making the reader sit…

  • Taking Life by The Balls

    How many times have we all said we were going to change our lives? New Year’s Resolutions; Diets; Quit Smoking Programs; New jobs; Going back to School…. The list could go on and on. But how many times do we really stick with it and make real changes? How often do we stay on that path to our true dreams?

Personally, I check People’s website at least five times a day to read celebrity news, and when I first read about her skiing accident, I was so sad to hear that she was hurt.

Two days later, I was shocked, though, to read that they were giving her zero chance of recovery. Doctors…

  • More than 20% finished!

    My word meter website that I use is down, so thus no updated word count meter on the right sidebar. Oh well, I will settle for just telling you the good news since it’s 5:40 in the morning and I am almost delirious at this point anyway. I stayed up again tonight to write, which I think has been working pretty well for me so far the past few weeks. Tonight, I started feeling stuck on one scene, so instead of giving up or trying to rewrite it a thousand times, I decided to just jump ahead to a scene…

  • Mythical!

    Last night was a big night for me! I know how silly it sounds to be excited about a game and to consider it a part of your life, but anyone who plays WoW or EQ2 or any other MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) understands that online gaming is more than just a game. It’s a community. There is an economy, a social structure, goal-setting, teamwork, and so much more. When most people turn to TV at night, sitting in front of the tube like a vegetable, stuffing their face with potato chips or soda, I turn to…
