Southern Fried Chicas

So I have managed to catch a lovely back-to-school cold and have been feeling lousy the past few days. My brain is a little on the moosh side so instead of thinking up some witty topic how ’bout you tell me what your fave guilty pleasure for TV is (maybe something that no one else [...]

So it’s 8 months through the year and how have the goals been going? Um, well… not so good as far as what I wrote down, but it hasn’t been an all-together drag on the writing front. This year, I sold (and it’s already been released) book 2 of the Paintbrush series. I have been [...]

The countdown to school starting is single digits now…YEE! I feel a little, I dunno, weird that I’m so terribly happy to be rid of my kids for hours a day, not enough to pull back the emotion however, but enough to comment on. I will say, at the start of the new school-year, I [...]

I’m not saying any of this applies to me (right this very second) and I am not saying it doesn’t, but… When do you get the I suck ‘ems, assuming you do. Actually with most authors I assume they get them at some point, at the very least once. Maybe with each book, maybe between [...]

Ah, I am home from Nationals. The perfect capper to a great week, I got to fly home first class thanks to the dh’s Platinum, Gold, Titanium… I don’t know what it was… extra miles that let me get to sit in first class. Awesomeness in a cup! So, back to last week… My gals [...]

In more ways than you can imagine (ha!). Seriously though, today is “to Nationals” day. I am pretty dern excited, and not just because it’s in Orlando and we’re staying at the Dolphin (that’s just an awesome bonus). I always get excited for conferences because I come home with a renewed sense of the want-tos. Writing [...]

So, I don’t know what made me look into it, but the other day I was scrolling through my DVR (as I’ve said many times before–I *heart* my DVR so this may come as no surprise) and lo and behold, most of my (not the family, just mine) series recorded regularly shows are cop/spy shows. [...]

Banging my head just now… and nothing is knocking loose. I am hoping the past will repeat. Soon. See, before I would get to a point in a story where I hit the wall… my characters are mumbling and not doing much of anything interesting. I’d rather watch Lifetime network than sit at the computer. [...]

Okey doke folks, I am going to take my Tuesday off. It’s not that I haven’t had several brilliant ideas since last week, but the weekend proved to be long and draining—and frankly I forgot them all before I could even get to the computer (I really need to start carrying a notebook everywhere I go–oh [...]

So… my kid comes in and he’s changed the lyrics of some song—please don’t ask ’cause I truly have no clue what it was, his brothers did and apparently it originally had some bad words and some stuff I don’t wanna know he knows, ya know… Anyhoo… Other than being teenage-silly, it was quite good.
