Thursday, May 31st, 2007Thirteen Things I Love About Editing
1. I can fix my moronic mistakes.
2. I can make my characters motivations more clear.
3. I can re-read my work and think, “hmm, I don’t suck at this.”
4. I can build a relationship with my editor.
5. I learn where my weaknesses lie.
6. I learn where my strengths lie.
7. I surprise [...]
Edits
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007I got my first round of edits on my summer short for the Midsummer Night’s Steam release at Samhain. OUCH! and ouch again. I’ve never had so many edits, re-writes and fixes. Which is fine, because it’s going to be a hell of a story. Just a hum-dinger, as my grandma used to say. Still, [...]
Back from Vegas
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007I’m back and ready to start rocking the edits on, “Ladies! Meet Red Hot Alaskan Men.” There are a ton of them, but the editor I have is top notch and I know it will be a better book when it’s done.
Vegas Bound
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007This is the last leg of the Trilogy of Trips. Thank goodness. I miss home, my boys and my husband. As of tomorrow, I’m off for four days. Back at a HORRIBLY early hour on Sunday. I always swear I’m not taking that NWA redeye, but I do.
Tonight, it’s off to the Boy Scout picnic. [...]
Praise for the Nurturing Man
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007My husband is not an alpha-male. He’s not going to bomb our way out of a tough situation in a foreign country, beat off a mugger, or tame a wild horse. It’s not his style and that’s fine with me.
Many romance books tout the alpha male. They also push the alpha female, these days. Tough [...]
Liberty of the Seas Review
Friday, May 18th, 2007I am posting this here, as well as, The Goat Rodeo. The trip is worth two posts of the review.
I write. Other people photograph. I write in detail. This is a TWELVE PAGE REVIEW! You’ve been warned. Think it’s too detailed? Find a shorter reveiw
I will be leaving this up as my blog entry [...]
Liberty of the Seas Photos
Friday, May 18th, 2007Taken by friends. Although, in my opinion, friends do not take fat pictures, of friends. LOL!
Me, on the Florider. Yes, I did and yes, I was good! That was a sweet surprise.
Henry and I. You have to almost be a Cruise Critic fiend to know and love, Henry. He’s a vacuum cleaner.
I’m Home
Thursday, May 17th, 2007Warning.
This is a duplicate of my Goat Rodeo post. Normally, I would not do this, but I am today. Tired, with edits do.
I’m tired. No excuses for it. I slept a lot on this trip! I had a great time. I met some wonderful people. I’ll post later.
In the spirit of thirteen things… Since I [...]
Sailing
Saturday, May 12th, 2007Off on my cruise adventure. It’s a shortie, so I will be back in a few days. I’ll post photos and embarrassing things I did that I wish I could forget. The booze is free.
Good thing I’m a lightweight
Dearest Samantha Lucas
Friday, May 11th, 2007I’m buried in sick kids, a broken toe and getting ready for my cruise, tomorrow. I will participate in your tag game, AFTER I get back from Florida. Next Thursday!
