Responsibility as a writer, responsibilties as a woman, responsibilities as a person
So during a twitter discussion last night, inspired by discussions taking place in blogland-I'm mostly watching the talk at karen's, it was suggested to me that I have a responsibility as a writer.
Yeah. Sure. I have a responsibility as a writer to tell the best story I can. To meet my contracts. To get my edits done. To fulfill any commitments I've made…contests, etc. We could take it a little deeper and I do have a responsibility, IMO, to not use my books in a way that could foster...

Guest Blogger… Ann Aguirre
We've got a guest blogger today…Ann Aguirre, author of the Corine Solomon books…
And I do believe she mentioned a contest….I haven't read Hell Fire yet, but I read Blue Diablo and it was oh, so awesome. Urban fantasy, amazing. Loved it.

Open Door…
Brain. Tired. Last week was crazy week-finished up taxes-shudder. Don't ask. Taxes for a writer are almost always scary…we're self employed, which means we pay. And this year, I'm paying in blood and gold. o-O. Well, almost. But it'll be okay.
Finished up an erotic paranormal romance-she's a psychic, he doesn't quite buy into it, but they are crazy about each other. It's going to Ellora's Cave. Also finished up book 3 in the Grimm series for Samhain. Right now, the title is Crazed...
