  • 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…

  • Less Calories / More Weight

    I started my “diet” again, although I’m not going to really call it that. I have goals of how much I want to lose before our wedding, and even though we’ve already been engaged for eight months, I have only lost a total of 5 pounds. To be honest, though, I haven’t really been trying. But now that the wedding is getting closer, I know that if I want to reach my goals in time, I have to start working harder and get serious about them. I set a sort of mini-goal at 20 pounds by RWA Nationals, even though…

  • Late-Night Writing Experiment

    A lot of times, I get my best writing done late at night. Everyone always says that as a writer, you have to find your “process.” Basically, I think that means you have to find out just how to operate at your most productive. Since I’ve had some luck in the past writing in the quiet of the early morning hours, I thought I would give it a shot this week and see how productive I can be. Last night, I stayed up and wrote about 1500 words of my novel. Tonight, I started off at 5672 words and have…

  • Sad Weddingmoon Development

    A while back, G and I picked out the room and the resort for our wedding/honeymoon. Our number one choice was the Sandals Royal Grande St. Lucian and our hope for a room was the swim-up honeymoon concierge suite. With airfaire, the price kept coming up to about $7000 for the entire round trip, 7 day vacation. At Sandals, everything is included, so that includes food, entertainment, room, drinks, everything (except shopping). I have routinely been checking back for the prices on the website, and they have steadily been going down. I was getting more and more excited about the…

  • Self-Sabotage

    Have you ever had the experience of wanting something so badly you were almost afraid to try to get it? It doesn’t make sense, really. Logically, if you want something, you do everything in your power to get it. But our actions aren’t always logical. Or at least mine aren’t. I have wanted to be a writer all my life. I used to dream of being a poet, to be honest. Writing novels, especially romances, was more of a secret dream. The only time I ever wrote a long story and submitted it to a contest, I got creamed by…
