Sunday, April 15th, 2007Chocolate spoons for RT.
I’m scarce. That’s why. Send drugs (kidding).
News
Friday, April 13th, 2007My story, “To Find A Bride,” has made it to the finals of Passionate Ink’s Stroke of Midnight contest. It’s a big deal and I’m in shock. I don’t care if I win, an editor at St. Martin’s Press is judging the final round, which means she will read my work. It’s the first thirty [...]
On Don Imus and Racism
Friday, April 13th, 2007The bandwagon just got to my door. I’m jumping on it. This is an opinion sure to piss off everyone. Let’s go.
I’m not white. I’m not black. I’m not going to advertise what I am, but I need to address those who read this and say, ”Well she’s not _______. Who is she to say anything?”
That said, I’ve [...]
Thursday Thirteen: The Death of a Champion
Thursday, April 12th, 2007Thirteen Reasons to Miss Kurt Vonnegut1. I’m still trying to figure out, “Breakfast of Champions.” I’d hoped I could meet him one day and ask him, “What the hell…?” That’s what I loved about his books. I had to think.
2. He wasn’t afraid to make fun of himself. “I will say anything to be funny, often [...]
HELP!
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007I’m up to my butt cheeks in stress today. I have my edits in for, “Lady Lillian’s Guide to Amazing Sex.” There are a lot, but it was the first book I wrote. There are going to be a lot. My dear new editor, Anne, wrote the most apologetic note about why she didn’t like [...]
Now What Do I Wear?
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007For reasons I do not want to get into, I no longer have a costume for the Fairy ball at RT. Yes, I need a costume. It’s an opportunity to have something to talk about with people. I just don’t think, as a writer, that I am getting all I can out of RT, if [...]
Let Nancy Do It, She’s a Great Writer
Monday, April 9th, 2007That usually proceeds someone asking me to write sentiments on something, in something, or by something. I’m flattered, I really am. I like my gift of gab. It’s one of my talents and I don’t have a lot, so I hold that one pretty close. Except, I’m no Shakespeare.
One of the things people don’t get, [...]
Sick
Sunday, April 8th, 2007I seem to have developed a case of the creeping crud. Fever, chills, nause etc. As a result I feel too crappy to post today. I’ll make it up tomorrow.
So, You’re Sick of It…
Saturday, April 7th, 2007A dear friend of mine has an autistic son two, well, two of them. She wrote in her blog that she’s sick of people begging for money for cancer research. She wants more funds to go to Autism. Me too, but I’m not sick of cancer. I hate cancer. I also recognize that publicity gets [...]
Who Has Me All…
Friday, April 6th, 2007Hot and Bothered:
Sounds corny as Kansas in August. My husband. He’s cute. I love the guy and he changes diapers. What’s not to adore? No, he’s not perfect, but I dig him.
Ready to Bitch Slap Them:
Sanjaya from American Idol. For the love of God, WHY? He’s horrible and appears to be smugly believing his own press. [...]
