If I go a little awol for the next month, just letting you know that I'm going deep into the bat cave to get back on track. :-) I'm a bit behind on hitting my deadline for book two...there have been a couple of derailments knocking me off course, and so I'm unplugging. (gasp!) I will still do my every other Wednesday post over at Women Unplugged, our group blog, because that's not a big time pull. But I'm not planning to blog here till Thanksgiving. That's my goal. By Thanksgiving, I want to be hot on the heels of completion. Oh dear Lord, please hear that. I won't lie...I will ... Read More
Not the normal girl…
I have a very close friend who loves to go to the grocery store. She loves to cook, and therefore browses the store with love, looking for that next culinary adventure. I have more than a few friends like that, actually. I do love to eat, and I do love amazing food. But it doesn't come from me. I dig out a post it note with absolute disgust when the fridge gets pathetically skinny, knowing that I need to go to that place with the carts and the aisles and the endless cans and packages. I go out of guilt, because you can only stop for Sonic and Dairy Queen so many times before your family ... Read More
Paying It Forward!
In the spirit of linky-love today, I'd like to direct your attention to my "Links" page. Over there is a long list of wonderful places I'd love to visit every day but there isn't enough of me or hours to go around. I do make a point of picking five random ones each day to visit and comment on, and I highly recommend them all! Go check out the page, and if you feel so moved, pick five of your own to visit! And to further the spirit... leave me a comment below with a new link of your favorite blog to visit. Because...yanno...even though I already have too many places to go, I'm always ... Read More
Revisions, dreams, and potato chips
Finished editor revisions this weekend...YAY!!!! HAPPY DANCE! Well...maybe it's too soon for the happy dance. I finished them, I sent them, with a note that I took out all 543 "glances" and 88 "eyerolls'. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but truly, once I did a search on those, it was scary. Editor Extraordinaire (EE) thought so too, as she pointed out many of them (hence, my curiosity to search). But as I was saying, the revisions may be sent, but until EE does the sign of the cross on them, they aren't final. And I'm playing with a new character the last few days. From a distance...she ...

Random and rewriting and Cheers!
Oh the craziness today. And pardon the ADHD randomness, but I'm pinging everywhere. Do you feel it? It's raining down on me...okay not REALLY raining down on me...although it was supposed to because Tropical Depression 35...(13?...33?...one of those "3" numbers) was headed our way. Now it's going more north, which is good for us, not good for Louisiana, but I would like a band or two of the wet stuff to stray off our way. My grass is dead. Not that it is gone...it's dead but the weeds are still green. They are like alligators and cockroaches. They never die out. I have to hit the road ... Read More
