In Honor Of…

The Spice Girls reunion, I give you Baby Spices.

Since none of these girls now look like this–therefore it’s safe to post–that is my daughter as Baby Spice on the far right.  I’m not sure why she had on my shoes. 
Aren’t they precious?
Of course, I’m now in danger of being beaten by a group of embarrassed teenagers who [...]

This Guy is Fantastic!

Some of the writers have been passing this around.  It’s wonderful!!
 

Rain and Conqueror Worms

Wow.  Rain.  Rain.  And more rain. 
I just had a horrible experience in it.  My parents are still moving and I was trying to get to my mother’s to help.  The wet stuff is coming down so hard and fast, I could hardly see.  My car is low to the road and I was squinting through [...]

Psymbience is Oklahoma Band!

My brother’s band, Psymbience, won the battle of the bands last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are heading to Dallas and representing Oklahoma in the next battle.  Next, is LA… 
I’d play a clip but I haven’t heard them with their new lead singer.  Bummer.  But, if you scroll down to the sonfic at right, here they are on their [...]

Off And Running… And Pics!

This is me.  Well, not really. This expression represents how I’m feeling at this exact moment.  Kind of stunned and hopeful at the same time.
I just sent my proposal to the first agent on my list.  There is no guarantee that she will like it–not every book is to every taste–but I’ve started the process.  
Book one is officially out [...]

Big Books, Intricate Puzzles

The query is done and the synopsis is written and off to my CP for a last minute scan.  And wouldn’t you know it, but this uh, tweaker, found a couple of small inconsistencies while writing the synopsis.  Small things that any savvy reader would have picked up in a second. There is so much room [...]

Guess What?

Some of those who have followed this blog from the beginning know this is a big day for me.  At one time, I was completing two or three manuscripts a year.  Then something happened and I lost my nerve somewhere.  A bad illness, having manuscripts sit on editor’s desks for up to two years, a family business [...]

Monday Poetry Train-Fool’s Paradise

Fool’s Paradise (Haiku)
Blocked again, I am.
Assigning blame to sources.
Delusional me.
—————————-
Don’t forget to take a ride on Rhian’s Monday Poetry Train!  There are always so many fantastic writers–you won’t be sorry.

Neat Stumbles & SFAP

I’m a member of Stumble Upon. I don’t use it for networking or chatting because I have this blog for that sort of thing. Have Myspace, too, but yeah, that place still kind of gets on my nerves. For some reason, 14 year-old boys hit me up for friendship daily. Lots of them.  Not sure [...]

Liked This Tag

Rhian tagged me and gave me a such a smile with her compliments. I’ve had a rough writing day, so it was very welcome.  The tag?

Midnight Writing

I caught part of a show called Wide Awake last night.  Actually, it was a documentary about a man’s experience with insomnia.  The part I caught hit home, however.  I’d like to see the entire thing.
I go through pretty serious bouts with insomnia.  Usually when I have difficult things on my mind or I hit [...]
