Winter-time, business, and new releases

Not saying we have it as bad as those of you getting snowed on but WOW did the temps drop this weekend! (And we’re already–slightly–warming back up). And I finally got  Draft2Digital figured out. Their support was wonderful.

The Naughty List

Got this from Raven Rose: THE RULES 1) Provide a brief description of your novel before beginning. NO MORE THAN 5 SENTENCES. Novel: Passion's Sacred Dance Synopsis: Unless Stacy Macken can stave off her creditors, she may lose her renowned history center. Yet she knows in her heart that the center is sacred and what a catastrophe losing it would be. How much of a catastrophe, she

Word counts....Do they really matter? #writerslife #bloggersblast

Do word counts really matter? Ah, that divisive topic! For readers, depending on their/your favored genre, they/you may prefer 800,000 word monsters. Publishers will spout the same "blah blah random book should be this long", demands. Writers? Meh. You know what? I don't think we care all that much beyond if it the word count of a story meets a specific publisher's call. 

My 10 favorite movies inspired by books #bloggersblast #writerconfessions

Here's the next in the blog prompt list I'm following. What are my favorite movies inspired by books? This could be a long list so I think I'll just try to come up with 10. If I can even manage that, we'll see. because Hollywood does tend to butcher and change novels, when they get hold of them, don't they? 1.Vanity Fair (2004). This is the theatrical version of William Makepeace

My Ideal Romance Hero #authorconfessions #bloggersblast #writerconfessions

My Ideal Romance Hero The next in the blog prompts was "what's your ideal romance hero?" Oh boy, this oughta get me in trouble. :) Because, guess what? My idea of a hero doesn't seem to fit any of the styles you'll see in your typical modern romance novel.  What is my ideal romance hero? I like the poets, the musicians, the artists (obviously). The sensitive thinking men, the ones

Making me laugh.... #BloggersBlast #writerslife

Well, I thought it high time to add another blog for y'all. I'm sorry I haven't been around much. Nanowrimo has had me  writing, editing and with the PlentifulEarth prompts, I dropped the ball on these other prompts. Oh well. There's still time to get back to them. So. The next question (I think) after where I left off was: What makes me laugh out loud? Oh, gosh. I've never really thought

New release and podcast news

How have y'all been doing this week? I'm okay. Writing, like usual. I'm not as far through my Nanowrimo piece as I'd hoped to be (only 15,569ish words--I say "ish" because there's some I haven't typed up yet). And of course, making all the plans for Thanksgiving is cutting into the usual time, today. Which leaves me looking at this blinking blogger cursor thinking, "Blogging? Who has time?" So
