I won't be at the meeting tonight.  :(  I'll miss you guys, but I'm sure you'll have fun without me.  :)  I'm saving gas this week and staying home to work on revisions.  See ya next week though!

Countdown to Friday:  3 days until I know if I'm in!

Also:  Happy Birthday Laura!!!

This week was my birthday, which was great fun.  :)  Thanks to all the Yetis who went to the movie with me.  You guys are great...even Yetis who didn't come to the movie are great.  :)

We saw Made of Honor which was silly but cute…the perfect fun movie for birthday night.  I’d recommend it.  :)

This weekend I had my DSRA meeting and we went on a ( Read more... )

I felt it necessary to make a post.  I've been busy with writing, and I've been productive!  Here's a list of new developments:

• Gallery of Lies is revised up through the end of chapter five, approximately page 80.  It will require more revision, but I have that many pages ready to show to people at least.
• I've started an individual critique ( Read more... )

Life has been hectic lately, leaving little time for movies.  The Netflix envelope containing The Kingdom sat unopened on my dvd player for over a month before I finally sent it back unwatched.  When I returned it, I got No Reservations next and watched it immediately.  It was one of the best romantic comedies to come out in a while.  There seems ( Read more... )

This last week was crazy, but I still got a little writing in.  I hate that I missed Tuesday night with the Yetis, but I'll be there tomorrow ( Read more... )

I'm dead tired.  I can't hold my head up.  I got out of lab at 1:30 this afternoon and went to the library to try and work on either homework or writing until time to go to Sweetbay, but I kept literally drifting off in the library.  Short of taking a nap in my car, going home was really my only option.  I'm home now with a headache and feeling ( Read more... )

Was it just a week ago that I posted a slight brag about writing everyday?  Yes, I suppose it was.  Lo and behold, I haven't written any fiction since that post.  I should've been knocking (or typing) on wood at the time.  This week has been total craziness and the coming week promises to be much much worse.  My stories are in my brain.  I keep ( Read more... )

It has been one week since I've looked at my Gallery of Lies beginning.  It's been on my mind, and I've been thinking about new directions to go with it, but I have not actually done any rewriting for it yet.  I don't think I will until after Tuesday.  I'm planning to tell the Yetis about my storyline and get some advice before tackling it again-- ( Read more... )

I think writing up the post about why I want to write romance novels was good for me.  I needed a boost and a break from revisions.  Yesterday, I spent about 10 hours working on revising the beginning of Gallery of Lies.  No, it's not a typo.  It says 10.  After all that, guess what?  The beginning still sucks.  I agonized over the first beginning ( Read more... )

I've been vaguely following the Cassie Edwards plagiarism scandal, and I shared about it tonight at the Yeti meeting (writers' group).  Then I got home to find a post on Romance Divas announcing that the scandal has made Newsweek.  Here's the link to the article:  http://www.newsweek.com/id/94543/page/1  It's not really a laughing matter--having ( Read more... )
