Thursday Thirteen…13 ideas in the story bin…

I thought I’d look through my works in progress (most aren’t begun…just ideas I’ve jotted down).  Theoretically, I’ll be working on these through 2010, if I can get my butt in gear enough to pump out 1K a day!

Sea of Dreams — #3 in the RuneQuest Series (contracted) – 30K
Breath of Heaven — #4 in [...]

What’s Going on With Me Wednesday

 Hey all!  Well, this week I got a decent amount written (about 3K), which is under what I’d like, but I got past a sticky point in the story that had put me in a conundrum.  Oh, how I wish I were a plotter instead of a pantzer!  It would sure make the whole “I’m [...]

M/M Monday…The New Guy (a guilty pleasure)

The New Guy (2002) … This is one of my all time guilty pleasures.  No, not because of the storyline, because that’s pretty goofy, but for the fabulous cast of characters.  The hero, DJ Qualles, is the penultimate geek, and you can’t help but root for him, but when the parade of supporting actors and [...]

Fantastic Interview Friday…Suzanne Brockmann

  This month y’all are in for a fabulous treat…Suzanne Brockmann, author of the *hugely* popular SEAL series books has agreed to chat with us!  Those of you who’ve perused my book reviews know that I adore her work, and the totally true-to-life depiction of our military men and women.  I don’t think I’ve ever [...]

Grrr…

Well, I had this cool Thursday 13 about the various books I have in the bucket (and yes, there ARE 13…at least), and then realized, as I was getting it ready, that I didn’t have the files to make it work like I wanted, so I just shitcanned it in favor of doing it next [...]

What’s Going on With Me Wednesday

Well, I’m baaaack!  Are you scared yet?  LOL.  Seriously, the last two weeks were just draining at the day job.  I was totally cool with posting on Monday and Tuesday, and then all the steam went out of me.  I didn’t write, heck, didn’t even read much, which you KNOW signifies I’m terribly ill *g*.  [...]

M/M Monday…Mean Girls (2004)

Mean Girls (2004)…This was an interesting movie.  I liked the concept behind it, even more so the fact that Tina Fey was the screenplay writer, but in the end, it just didn’t have the punch for me that something like The New Guy (one of my all-time faves for the musical/guest-star component), Can’t Buy Me [...]
