Getting ready for RWA

I leave in a day and am I packed? Nope. I'll get there, it's only a carry on and a few days, and the suitcase is right...there...mocking me with its open emptiness.

RWA: I'm really looking forward to going there, it's been a couple years and there are several workshops I'm looking forward to attending. Plus, it's a great chance to meet up with virtual friends!

Today I'm over at Simply Sexy Stories for Day 12 of Dark Desires of the Druids: Sex & Subterfuge virtual blog tour!

Learn something new

Ture, I'm a librarian and deal with a lot of people every day, but it's also true that I learn something new. I like that aspect of my job, learning.

It's also true in writing. I may think I know what happened when, but once you get into the nitty gritty of it all, the real research, the facts of the matter, it's a different story entirely. My favorite? Taking X and making it into a story. Doesn't matter what X is (and no I won't be going into an algebra problem here!)

X is whatever you find fa...

Traveling

Virtually traveling, I'm over at Diary of a Literary Goddess with DAY 10 of Dark Desires of the Druids: Sex & Subterfuge's blog tour.

Physically traveling is another story. Last weekend I went to Washington, D.C. and had a great time. This brought up where to vacation next. Let's stick to the United States for the purposes of this blog. Otherwise it'd read something like I WANT TO SEE IT ALL!!!!!!!!

In no particular order:

Alaska has always been a dream. A nice (small) cruise up the coast with s...

What made you decide to write Picture This?
I kind of didn't have a choice! LOL. I'm one of those writers who have characters talk to them and they don't just talk. Mine often scream in demand, usually because they want attention (AKA writing their stories). When I saw the call for submissions at Ellora's Cave for 'something related to the fine arts', the story just came to me and the characters soon followed. I hadn't intended to write the story. Not tha...

New day New blog

Today I'm at The Cozy Page. Amber asked some great questions, I hope you'll check them all out.

I'm also getting ready for RWA Nationals next week. This week the NJRW conference committee is meeting, then I'm packing, then I'm working, then it's Orlando for 3 days. Then I plan on crashing. :)

Day 6

I had a FANTASTIC time in DC. It was hot, but it was a great time. Did the train to Union Station, nice Westin in downtown, then did the Smithsonian (both Air & Space museums), the Mall, the Good God it's hot why did I pick a weekend in July?! And overall had a wonderful time. I want to do it again, there's so much I never got to see. And just walking around there were signs for even more things to do. I'm definitely planning another trip!

DAY 6 BLOG TOUR is over at Domestically Challenged...

Day 5

Wow, it's early today! Never stay out late with friends on a work night. I guess my mom knew what she was talking about when she tried to drill into my head "Never stay out late on a school night!" 6:15 came early, and the day looks very long before me!



I'll survive. Lots to do to get me through the day, work, plotting, and Day Five of the Virtual Blog Tour. Today I'm at Romantic Journey talking about alternate history and how fun it is to play.

Day Four and other thoughts

Today I'm over at Romance with Attitude . Gotta love the title! I'm talking not about titling a story (that would be pathetically short) but sex in Victorian clothing. Not as easy as one would wish. And I'm sure not as easy as those Victorians would wish, either!

Please join me over there, today!


On another note, I realized that some times no matter how much you love a concept or characters or plot or a combination thereof, it doesn't work. I'm now taking a very large step back from my current W...

Day Three!

Today I'm over at a favorite blog, You Gotta Read Guest. I've met a lot of wonderful authors there, and have read a lot of great reccomendations from this site.
Sex & Subterfuge virtual blog tour.
Available now in bookstores, and for whichever e-reader you own!

Day two

Today I'm over at Alisha Paige's blog, a super cool place to be. Why? It's all about the scifi baby. I'm a total geek when it comes to that, but strangely haven't read scifi romance. I don't know what I've been waiting for, but plan to change all that now.

Come read Lucien's interview. :)
