My house is crazy-noisy. Like, ALL THE TIME. My husband and Lulu constantly break out into song…about anything that comes to their minds and at any given time. Sometimes, they take turns with piano accompaniment. Angry Bird telepods are forever sailing through the air. Super Mario 3D World…UGH…the music alone makes my ears bleed afterContinue reading “Please Don’t Ask Me About The Shower Scene…”

I Do Love Being The Master Of Someone Else’s Destiny
I wouldn’t exactly label myself a control freak. True, I like things done a certain way (fine, MY way) and in my time. But it’s not like I fall apart if they don’t go according to my set schedule. I may get a little crabby, but I’m not completely unreasonable or unyielding. I’m just…regimented. =)Continue reading “I Do Love Being The Master Of Someone Else’s Destiny”
Taking The Weekend OFF!
Today is a good day. I feel very relaxed right now. It doesn’t hurt that I’m getting a pedicure as I type, but that’s not the real reason. I just feel like I have a lot to look forward to on this journey toward publication. I don’t know where it will lead me, but I’mContinue reading “Taking The Weekend OFF!”
Things You Can’t Escape As A Romance Author
There are two things that you can’t escape as a romance author. First, everyone who reads your book will automtically assume your hero is modeled after your spouse or significant other. No matter what you say, they will be convinced otherwise. Second, readers will infer that the bedroom scenes are based on your ownContinue reading “Things You Can’t Escape As A Romance Author”
I Need A Hero! Wait…No I Don’t!
I hate a weak heroine. Really, the whole “damsel in distress” thing is so irritating. I don’t have a lot of free time on my hands. With three children, a full-time job and aspirations to become a bestselling author, my plate is pretty full. If I’m going to give up a few hours of myContinue reading “I Need A Hero! Wait…No I Don’t!”
I Left My Beloved Laptop In A Fitting Room Yesterday…Senility Is Setting In Sooner Than Anticipated
I would say that I get one solid hour of stress-free, uninterrupted writing time per week. That doesn’t mean I only write during that one hour; it only means that I don’t have seven other things cooking simultaneously. I can’t tell you how much I love this time. My daughter throws back handsprings. I type.Continue reading “I Left My Beloved Laptop In A Fitting Room Yesterday…Senility Is Setting In Sooner Than Anticipated”
Look Out Hollywood! This Book’s Got Silver Screen Potential!
Someone recently asked me if i could see Unlikely Venture made into a movie at some point. I suppose that would naturally come after it lands on the NYT bestseller list, right? I’m sure it comes as no shock to anyone (especially fellow writers) that I most certainly think it has silver screen potential. Heck,Continue reading “Look Out Hollywood! This Book’s Got Silver Screen Potential!”
Sometimes It’s Good To Take A Few Steps Back Before Moving Forward
My editor recently told me that publishers don’t like the “s” in “towards,” “backwards,” or “forwards.” Add this to the ever-increasing list of things I didn’t know about writing. So I thought the title of this post was kind of apropos. It’s come to my attention that the first few posts here sent somewhat ofContinue reading “Sometimes It’s Good To Take A Few Steps Back Before Moving Forward”
