Last Weekend

Last weekend as you probably know, I visited my buddy, Diane. Not too far from where she lives is a Frank Lloyd Wright house (The Rosenbaum House). Check out the pictures below and be sure to click on the link too. We couldn't go inside as tours are scheduled I believe, but we looked all around outside. It appeared so tiny inside.

Struck Down Again!

Time for chocolate! Didn't final in a contest. I thought I would for sure. HA! They showed me.

Today Is The Day!

My buddy, Christy Reece, her first book comes out today!!! Go and buy it!

Addition: I bought it and took a picture of where it was on the bookshelf. Of course, I sent a copy of the picture to Christy. LOL!

I've Been Waiting For It

What have I been waiting for? A rejection from a certain editor. She didn't get me or my writing and that's okay. I still like and respect the editor of course as she rejected me politely and professionally.

Oh, well, I'm working on bigger and better things now anyway.

Isn't Life Tweet

Yeah, I've join in the craze. Click on the bottom right square and follow my few and far between tweets on Twitter. Or you can see them on FaceBook as they get posted in both places.

Chilling With My Pals

Okay, we're all relaxed, talking shop and learning stuff from each other. This is the way it should be. Cheers!

Signed,

Thankful Friday

I'm thankful I have friends who encourage me. Hi, Diane Richmond, JoAnn Weatherly and Christy Reece! HUGS!

Hello! Yeah! Down Here With The Little People!

No, I'm not talking about wee lil' leprechauns. It's bad enough all the celebrities are publishing books, but now royalty can be added to the mix. Per Publishers Lunch last Monday, Prince of Wales and King of Jordan are writing books.

Us little people will have to work that much harder at getting even a sliver of the pie.

Man Speak

I was looking over contest comments for one of my books and what one judge said jumped out at me. She'd said I had too much narrative and not enough dialogue in one section. The section she was referring to was from the hero's point of view. I thought that was interesting. As most of my heroes are he-man types and chatting up people isn't their forte. And don't you hate it when the hero talks about what he just did or what he's about to do in detail? Then I think, we just read that part or why read it if you've told me what will happen?

Oh well, we all have to find that fine line between too much and too little of anything.

Grammar Tidbit For The Day

Now grammar has been my booger-bear for most of my adult life. I did wonderfully in high school but afterwards it was like I forgot everything.

On one of my loops someone pointed out a grammar mistake on a blog and I realized, though she wasn't talking about my blog, I was probably guilty of the same thing in the past.

What was it? To arouse someone's interest is to pique their interest. I swear somewhere in my posts here or at Romance Magicians or in a manuscript, I've used the word peak in error. Funny how things will pop out at you. LOL! And this wasn't the first time or the last.
