Freaky Location Friday…Deep Ellum, Dallas, TX

Today I thought I’d talk about how location plays a huge (and memorable) role for me in the writing process.
For instance, Dallas is a city I loved to hate (it’s an Oklahoma thing…you have to live here to understand it).  Until I actually visited it.  While I certainly don’t want to live there (waaaaaay too [...]

View to a Kill Progress…

Well, I’m pretty damned jazzed to report that I whipped out over 6,000 words done on View over the course of the last week.  At the rate I’m going through this, I’m hoping to have a draft done by the time we have an agent I’ve been stalking *g*, come in for my chapter meeting.
I’ve [...]

What’d y’all get for Christmas?

See, it’s like this…when I actually *start* writing in my blog, then I tend to continue.  It’s when I stop for a few days that I get all discombobulated and forget about it.
So this year, my loverly DH got me an iPod (which I asked for), and an ultra-cool necklace holder.  I guess it shows [...]

Miz Anti-Procrastination…

So today, after posting my blog, I did a bunch of NRCA stuff, then went to Wally (I *dare* you to try that two days before Christmas!!!) to pick up some fun munchie foods to eat.  And THEN, when I got back to the house and all settled in, I sat down and wrote.  And [...]

Merry Christmas to all!

Yeah, so I’ve been a bit of a piker about blogging lately.  Not sure why.  It’s not like I’ve been hideously busy (tho I have been writing), but I guess it’s just that I haven’t had a bunch to say, I guess.   I could tell you that I’ve been working on the National Reader’s Choice [...]

Woohoo…

I’m happy to say that my eyes look much better (August has stopped avoiding me at all costs *g*),  and I got 2200 words written on View yesterday/last night, which puts me up over 15K.
In sad news, our beloved Enid Plainsmen lost the state championship football game (which explains why I didn’t hit 3K).  But [...]

Just call me…Cootie Girl

So it was quite amusing…I went into work yesterday afternoon for meetings, and everywhere I went, people told me I looked like shit, or completely avoided me.  Thank goodness I can blame that on the pink-eye, rather than the fact it’s my usual condition *g*.  Anyway, my boss (who’s FAB, BTW) finally had enough of [...]

Coming out of lurkdom…

Hey all — sorry I’ve been baaaaad about posting, I simply got caught up in the joy/horror of the holidays *g*.  Oh, and the nasty case of pink-eye I’m battling.  That’s what I get for working in an outpatient clinic, right?  It’s kinda funny, my boss (who’s a physician) basically told me that as long [...]
