I can’t remember the address of this website. All I know is, one night at the office, many years ago, one of my coworkers who no longer works there said, “Hey, here’s a website that tells you your p0rn star name.’” (Yeah, you’d be amazed what silly things happen during downtime in the newsroom.) We […]
I don’t often do this, but after I wrote this post for my other blog, I realized it’d be a perfect fit here, too. Here goes: Sign me up for the Vince Vaughn fan club Has anyone else seen “The Dilemma” yet? In it, Vince Vaughn plays a guy who discovers his best friend’s wife […]
I took a short break from editing Golden Heart entries today to let Bethany and Cody out to play. Their conversation took a turn (for the better or worse?) to that age-old question that has plagued the males of our species since the debut of “Gilligan’s Island”: Ginger or Mary Ann? Cody, being the kind […]
With all the re-reading of my old stuff I’ve been doing, I have way too many characters running around in my head. Suddenly, they’re all jockeying for attention. As a result, I’m getting a lot of nothing accomplished. Why is it that more ideas does not equal more productivity? I’m still editing my Golden Heart […]
My friend Pat and I had a nice chat today. I made it to her place at around 11 a.m. and didn’t leave until close to 2 p.m. — and then only because I had to get ready for work. We shared a lovely lunch (salad, spaghetti and chocolate chip cookies) and settled on “Li’l […]
It’s no secret that I hate the working title on Bree and Mike’s story, “To Catch a Wife.” I blogged about it way back in May. Last night, inspiration struck as I drove to the grocery store. I thought I’d found a perfect replacement: “Virgin and the Tramp.” A play on “Lady and the Tramp” … a […]
Unlike the crew from “Saturday Night Live,” I don’t have a lot to report: I’ve been reading/editing most of the weekend. That means I’ve done no new writing … and I’m waffling about entering a third MS into the Golden Heart. A couple of nights ago, I started to wonder if I should enter Bree […]
I’ve been having lots of family fun on vacation. Driving around the country, exploring Mall of America, playing games with the kids … But I’ve had next to no time to write. One day when I fired up the computer, the Boyfriend interrupted me about 10 minutes later. I’d just finished re-reading the last scene […]
I was enjoying a nice, quiet get-to-know-you lunch with my characters when Bethany dropped a bombshell. Even in “Blind Date Bride,” I knew that Beth was different. She’s the one who tried to get Kari to get in touch with her inner tramp, and who told Kari, “Keep a man happy in bed and he’ll […]
Bethany and Cody are chattering away in my head and I’m getting more and more antsy to start telling their story. Today, I spent an hour or so sketching out a basic plot. Since I’m not much of a plotter, that’s already more plotting than I usually do for a book. I’m thinking it might […]
