Hey! I resemble that remark.I can’t believe this is going to be a movie. Do people actually want to sit through an hour and a half of cheesy examples of bad writing? Really? They must. I will admit that I love the statement, “No one was a worse writer than me.” I love it because in my case it’s true. I have a confession.I [...]
Well.. it’s me again and lookie, lookie, I made it two days in a row! Wooo Hoooo! I’m on a roll and back in the ‘ole saddle.To that end, I was gonna bitch about Glamour again today, but after yesterday’s mention of getting myself back into work mode, I started working out my goals for the rest of the year and into the [...]
I’m stuck! I have too many ideas, too many hotties in my head and too little time. I just finished the final edits for my novel Birthright. It’ll be out this fall from Ellora’s Cave. Yay! It’s a huge urban fantasy/paranormal. It was over two years in the beginning to end process.Whew…. *wipe the forehead and thank a [...]
I'm going to meander today in a, for me, relatively brief blog. I'm trying desperately to write a book. Seriously. This baby is coming out as painfully as, well, a baby. With no epidural. Ouch. It's not that I don't love the story and the characters, but I think I'm overthinking it. I may have reached plotter overkill. (Cue evil killer plot [...]
I’m late. At least for the last few weeks, maybe months, I’ve been late. I’m late posting. I’m late completing projects. Heck, I was even late leaving for the beach last week. I do not recommend a four-hour drive with a very upset stomach.All this lateness is a symptom of being behind. Samantha and I made a very well [...]
On a serious note, I found out yesterday that Terry Goodkind, author of many fantasy/adventure novels is Dyslexic. Why is it good news to me that Terry and other talented authors like Agatha Christie and F. Scott Fitzgerald have a writing problem? Because I fight my keyboard everyday and it feels good to know I’m not alone. These [...]
Happy Wednesday! Your gift to help you get the most from your hump day is a new pontification from the redheaded brain of Mari. I’ve had a long few weeks of playing with two teenage girls. They are not my daughters, but I love them as though they were and I was fortunate that they wanted to spend some of their summer vacation with me.I [...]
Morning... It’s Wednesday's with Mari time once again... and today I’m treading back into the mind of a writer to discuss the view from Above.Last night, Hot Body and I were discussing the trailer that Sam blogged about. It was pretty, but not so informative. We went and looked over some of the other videos Harper Collins have on [...]
Okay, I've obviously got old songs on my mind. After reading Mari's post I can't get that one song out of my head. "Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby, Rock the boat, Don't tip the boat over . . ." Just wanted to share that. My sister does that. When she gets a song in her head that won't go away she tells someone and then it's in their head [...]
