Earlyish Monday

| August 16, 2010

Just after midnight on Monday, and I’ve made an uncalculated error. I fell asleep, and then everyone else in the house headed for bed and made noise. Being the Queen of Insomnia, I may be awake for the duration after a fortifying hour of sleep. So–I’ve got Moulin Rouge on the DVD player. Jim Broadbent [...]

Random Friday

| August 13, 2010

This lovely photo showed up on my phone. On the small, square screen, I couldn’t tell what it was at first. After an initial gasp of sheer horror, I turned the phone upside down and discovered it was my child and Kitty. They are lovely–but scary. There is rejoicing in my small corner of the [...]

It’s Thursday?

| August 12, 2010

I had no idea. This is definitely a random day. I’m editing, getting ready to send in the revised proposal. Busy–and loving being busy! I’ve been thinking all night about tension because strange noises have been keeping me awake all night. Dogs–at least my girl, who just woke up with the latest odd sound–and I [...]

My husband has been on a two-week trip across country to visit his brother. On  a motorcycle. I’m glad he’s had a good time, but I’m also glad it’s about to be over. He’s on the last day home today, and I’m watching his progress on a techie thing called the Spot. Extremely handy little GPS, [...]

Are you medically inclined?

| August 5, 2010

And a writer? Harlequin is offering an amazing opportunity for authors who can write a romance in a medical setting. The editors are fast-tracking medical romance submissions, and apparently, you can enter whatever you have going for a submission. If you have an idea, you should take a look at the guidelines and give it [...]

Wednesday–Time to be Random

| August 4, 2010

I love Boz Scaggs. Just sayin’. I’m wearing out “Miss Sun” on this book. I really need the duet-y version he played when we saw him last month.  :-) That man owns a voice! My girl and I have been watching the first season of Leverage when she’s not working–which has led to some rather [...]

Tuesday, Tuesday

| August 3, 2010

Still writing. I’m managing to alienate friends and family by being so focused, but work comes first, you know. I’m taking notes on napkins and my phone. The words are coming. In the back of my mind, I’m worried, but this time around, those worries are staying back there. I’m concentrating on one thing. Letting [...]

Sunday

| August 1, 2010

It’s quiet here. The beloved and daughter are out. Kitty has settled in for some fatbelly shuteye. I’m writing in the family room under a thundery sky. Thunder suits the mood in my story right now. A nice dramatic, thundery snowstorm, banging away over a man and woman who find themselves in a situation they [...]
