Saturday again? Now that I don’t have a day job, the days are all running together. Lucky for you—or maybe for me, I got an email reminder to sign up for My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme? Love on the road … I think. This week, show us the characters who who love each other […]
About 12 years — and four computers — ago, I submitted a one-act play to my theater group, to be considered for their one-act festival. Not long after that, I moved to Arizona and started writing a book based on that play. That book is “Blind Date Bride,” to date my only single-title MS: 1 […]
Now that I’ve had time to synthesize my score sheets from the last contest I entered, I’m pleased to say I’m on the right track. No, I did not final. The max score was a 161; mine was 130-something. That being said, I wasn’t displeased with the results. That was my gut reaction when I […]
Not that I’ve gotten a whole lot of writing done (maybe a couple thousand words) … but I’ve been on the hunt for an agent for “Blind Date Bride.” Exciting stuff, that. I also got some good news from Starbucks: I’ve used my gift card enough times to become a Starbucks Gold card member … […]
Five queries. Two same-day rejections. I appreciate the prompt replies. I am a little discouraged, but not giving up. I believe in “Blind Date Bride.” And, as “they” say … Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’m going to find an agent who loves “Blind Date Bride” and wants to represent it (and me). I […]
Forgive me for not blogging lately … It’s not that I haven’t been working, let me assure you. Most of my long weekend was spent on my new WIP, which is now in Chapter 3. Did I mention that there might be something to writing a synopsis first? 😉 I thought a lot about my […]
A new heroine and hero have been talking to me lately, and I think their story has to be told. They’re Bethany and Cody, the best friends of my hero/heroine in “Blind Date Bride” … the ones who enter poor Kari and Damien into the contest they think will ruin their lives. As secondary characters, […]
After reading my last blog entry, one of my friends from college messaged me with this bit of inspiration about giving characters reasons to love one another: Love isn’t only about the hot sex – it’s about friendship. Cuz when the hot sex goes away (old age, car accident, ED), there must still be something […]
Sadly, not much writing has happened since Wednesday (and that writing didn’t count toward my Word Count Countdown, because it wasn’t actually writing on any of my WIPs). I’m at a certain point: Finished MS but no query or synopsis — and since our NARWA meeting next Saturday is on the dreaded synopsis, I’m kind […]
The hits just keep on coming! That’s right. About 30 minutes ago, I put the finishing touches on the expanded draft of Bree & Mike’s story. It’s 56,000 words (on the shorter side of category romance, but still within the bounds) and will probably grow as I edit. Of course, with Bree and Mike somewhat […]
