Happy Memorial Day
Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. Hope you hugged a Vet, or an active duty serviceman, or woman. Even if your politics run more to dove than to hawk, if you know our country's history you know that the freedom you have was bought over the bodies of our armed forces. MISTRAL'S KISS has come back for editing. So the new Anita book is on hold until the edits are finished, or I can try and work on the edits in the morning, and the book in the afternoon. That worked for finishing MISTRAL'S KISS. At the… Read More

A day off, or so
By Friday I was fried. When the muse hits this hard, you either finish the book in an exhausting rush, or you have a few days of fallow time. Since I haven't hit two hundred pages yet, there was no way to finish the book, so by Friday, my imagination was tired. I did the social thing, which seems to refresh me lately more than hibernating. Charles dropped by and we all visited. Then Friday night was my writing group. Always good to see everyone. But even seeing some of my very best friends, and enjoying the evening, I… Read More

A very productive day
The day before I got over forty pages. It was an amazing day. I would write until I thought surely I'm finished, but the ideas pushed so hard they pulled me back to the computer to just make some notes. Pages later, the notes would be book. All day I kept walking away thinking I was done, then drawn back for a just a little more. When I hit forty pages, I thought, well this was great but tomorrow will be a bust. It usually is after a day when the muse sings that loud in your head. But… Read More

Darla!
Hi all! Darla here again! First off, thanks for all the well wishes. I am doing better. Sorry I missed RT. But I am glad to be back on my feet again. And no, I didn?t dust the ceiling fan. I spent three days talking myself out of standing on the bed to do it. Maybe this weekend I will get it. But thanks for all the kind thoughts. I really do appreciate them. Chiefly what I wanted to address was a misconception that seems prevalent, at least from what we get in email. It is what the publishing… Read More

Edward, at last
Twenty-nine pages. Even I'm impressed. Admittedly a goodly portion of those pages were already written, just a matter of editing and smoothing the edges since they were lifted from DANSE MACABRE. But this is where they belong, this book. Two chapters about Edward, and they fit nice and snug. Cool. I think Richard will be introduced in the next chapter. I've made some notes, and if they work, he will end up surprising Anita and me in a good way. Cool, again. I think Jon and I might even be recovered enough from the convention to work on the… Read More

All to be done again tomorrow
Six pages today. Though I may end up throwing it all out. It will at least get pushed further into the book. The six pages have nothing to do with Edward. So I'll put the six pages later, if needed, and just do what I'd planned on doing which was calling Edward. The pages dragged today because the front of my head was trying to force the back of my head to shut up and be reasonable. I should know better. The back of my head was right. I've done some research now, and the technology that I'd planned… Read More

Ramblings or something like that
Well, first full day home. First day back at work. Spent the morning kind of wandering around like I usually do after a convention. I don't think Jon and I actually went to sleep before 1:00 A. M. any night of RT. The dances were fun. It was great putting faces with some of the names that Darla and others mention from the board. It was very good to get to talk to people in person. We met lots of people, and were much more social than usual. We took our friend Charles with us and his presence made… Read More
