I have a confession to make: I was a bad fangirl. When I first submitted The Fangirl’s Dream to my publisher, Decadent Publishing, I was still reveling in my TV boyfriend hangover and memories of visiting the Yucatan a while back. It’s not my fault. I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. How could I help it, distracted by the possibility of writing out […]
Dear Enchanting Everyone, I’ve been distant lately. Don’t take it personally. It’s me, not you, I swear. I’ve been working really hard on several new contracts (YAY!!) which hasn’t left me much time to play. That said, the aforementioned projects have given me insight into longevity in a publishing career (across several genres) that I’d […]
I was just doing a bit of research on bondage equipment, when a chick showed up at the prom wearing my dress! No seriously. I really was doing researching a restraint board. I know how hard that is to believe. The funny part is I found my book cover on someone else’s book, and not […]
No, I’m not giving relationship advice. In fact, if you stumbled on this blog entry hoping for insight into how to improve your relationship(s), you’re in the wrong place. This is a selfish post. It’s an egocentric post, because this test is about improving how we stand in our power. I know, I know. I […]
This morning on NPR’s Morning Edition, I listened to a segment on bargain space ship launching. Yes, that’s more or less the gist. In light of the grounding of space shuttle Atlantis, it’s been realized that the costs of expansion into space are too exorbitant and we need to spend less. To the rescue comes Elon […]
I’ve often described my life like driving in Ireland: I wind along on narrow paths patiently following goats and diligently idling through random weather patterns. Then when I hit clear, straight road, I gun it. I fly like a crazy person, knocking out tasks, word counts, chores, plots. I’ve wondered if I’m bipolar, though I generally […]
Sometimes I actually slow down and look at things. Not often, but sometimes. Lately when I’ve done that I don’t like what I see. Since A’s death I’ve been in this mode of going nonstop, yet hiding in a way. Like I’ve said–I haven’t really gone out like I used to. Well, I mean, I […]
You know that kind of blind artistic fury wherein you feel your cells burning off lightspeed, you have to piss but you don’t want to stop writing, and, well, sleep? What’s that? The last couple of months have been that way for me. I’ve cranked out at least five short to novella pieces. Most of […]
I haven’t really said much about life lately, just comments around its extraneous details. Things are good. I’m still not going out much, which compared to my Other Life (that would be BA–Before A died), means I’m almost dead. Going from a swinging lifestyle, and I do mean literally, to a more or less celibate […]
I’ve made a mistake that I didn’t realize I was making until it was too late. I suppose that makes it a true mistake rather than fool judgment. I generally am not a conspiracy theorist, not because I think it’s based on untruths, but because I think a lot of it isn’t. So I just […]
