All the kids are back at school and I'm home alone. :-D I really want to work on The Best of Me, but have tons of stuff to do for PC instead. I think this is a case of wanting what you can't have. I wrote a very sad poem last night. I'd share it but since it's personal and I'm going public with this post, you guys get to skip it. Yay, you ( Read more... )

From The Best of Me:

“I’ll do it,” he said and I turned back to him.

“Really?”

“I said so,” he grumbled.

“Good.” I gave him a big smile. I hadn’t been kidding about wanting the strawberry smoothie though. “You can get us a spot in line and I’ll be back in a minute. Want one?”

He was already in motion toward the end of the long row ( Read more... )

Heh.  I thought I was posting this early, but then learned it is Tuesday. lol

I think I'm gonna work on The Best of Me instead.   :-)  Sorry.  It calls and I must go.

I only managed about 300 words today.  I'm not dissappointed with this number since most of those 300 were part my hypnosis trial.  Today I used an apple tree to form a mental image of worry and fear.    I have found that using this writing technique does help me determine exactly what I want out of each scene, where I want the reader to go, my ( Read more... )

I have so worked on my book.  :-)  It's rough.  I did get a shout out in there.  It might get to stay.  :-)  I have written productive words today.

We hit interstate 40, which was cleared, and open again.  In about seven hours, we made it to Roanoke, Virginia and called it quits for the day.  Since the next day was Christmas Eve, this stop was ( Read more... )

In celebration I'm going to...

Post an excerpt!

Ha, you knew that was coming, didn't you?

Okay, so I searched through my WIP last night but had some trouble finding the perfect snip.  I wanted something full of action or suspense.  I couldn't find it.  You know ( Read more... )
