Snacking my way through revisions…

Okay, so I managed to gain 5 — FIVE — pounds during the holidays, and I am NOT happy. So I have tossed out the buckeyes (peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, yum!), poured the eggnog down the drain, and eaten the last of the fudge (a girl has to have her standards).

Now, I'm turning an eye to more healthy eating, and one of my favorite snacks is hummus on pita bread. It's not the most low cal snack in the world, but, hey, it's healthy.

You, too, can join me in the hummus-eat-a-thon....

Writer's Corner: What's your writing comfort zone?

And no, I'm not talking about your ergonomic desk chair that saves your back as your fingers fly. Or your cushy, floral print chair that you curl up in to eat bon-bons as you dictate the next awesome tome to your private secretary before a private tennis lesson with a guy who looks awesome shirtless because, hey, that's how we live, right?. And, yes, that was my excuse to post a hunky guy picture…

Writer's Corner: Spurring on Your Word Count

by Julie Kenner on December 10, 2009[edit:]

First, the cool stuff: I'm sitting at my desk, reading galleys for my first book as J.K. Beck — WHEN BLOOD CALLS, which is Book One in the Shadow Keepers series! It's so cool! It's been a long time since I've been Julie Beck, and I'm really excited about this series. So fun stuff! Yay!

Virtual shelves and turkey recipes…and, yeah, they really go together!

Good Buys/Good Reads…it's sooooooo Delicious!

by Julie Kenner on December 1, 2009

Okay, I just think this is the coolest dang program!

I'm a Mac girl (and an iPhone girl) and so I apologize in advance to anyone who doesn't have a Mac, because Delicious Library is only available for the Mac at the moment. (But, hey, you can order a Mac online, right????). Never fear, though, I've got another good buy down below, and a couple of good reads, too!
