Tuesday, November 7th - No rain, no rain, no rain, gorgeous weather, cool, warm, cool -- we have family coming in noonish today and guess what? Tomorrow and Thursday it's going to be cold and lots of RAIN -- I must have done something really bad and the regional weather minion supervisor has put me on their punishment list -- well, and my company too.
WEEK #9: 4-0 -- my very first perfect score this year. Lots of you were right with me at 4-0. We're great -- To Date: 22-14. How about you guys?
The Clean Writing workshop: focuses on not piling up adjectives and adverbs in sex scenes, primarily. Like, "He ravaged her rosy soft breast" Big yuck -- where to start? How about toss? As for writers who love description, well, that's their style but I agree -- anything that stops the reader from moving smartly forward is not good. So, where's the editor?
Good point made about toes: When you scoot your butt against the wall today (5 minutes of snooze time -- for you, quiet, deep breathing, you get the idea) lie there and relax and empty your mind, then beginning with your TOES -- wiggle them, stretch them, then work slowly up, pointing/flexing feet, again, you know what to do. This is before CARDIO -- who's doing a lot of walking? Remember shoulder blades together, feet straight, work arms -- You're golden -

I'm Baaaack!

Halloween's coming up fast, the day the zombies burst out of the ground and terrify the crap out of us, not to mention eat our candy and eat our brains.
Update on BOMBSHELL, the 17th FBI Thriller: I'm nearly finished with the edit. The cover is very cool, explodes with eye-popping color. BOMBSHELL is set in Maestro, Va., (the setting of the 10th FBI thriller, POINT BLANK) and in Washington.
JEWEL OF THE LION (first thriller in A Brit in the FBI series partnered with J.T. Ellison). JEWEL moves fast and you don't know what's going to happen on the next page, and you're biting your toenails or a zombie's toenails. J.T. is an excellent plotter and that means when we brainstorm no plot gets left behind.
Alas, no kids want candy enough to crawl up our oxygen-deprived steep driveway, and the sad thing is, I still have a big bowl of candy, every year, but no one comes, not even the zombies with brain bags.
Take care, Catherine
