It’s almost Halloween!
Woohoo. For me, that means party. The problem is I have no idea what to dress up as. If all comes to all I might do the traditional witch, but I’d like to be something crazier this year. Guess I’ll have to put on my thinking cap.
 Sven’s Challenge is still going pretty well. [...]

The Light At the End of the Tunnel

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

I hate it when things go wrong. I think everybody does. That twisting feeling in your stomach when you realize everything’s going down the toilet. It sucks.
But something I often forget when I’m struggling through a hard time is that there is almost always a silver lining. And sure enough, after a couple weeks of [...]

Check-In Day

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Check-in day has arrived! Drop by Sven’s website and spill. Are you meeting your goals? Are you surpassing your goals?
I’ve upped my daily word goal to 2k, which seems to be pretty manageable. I’ve hit the 9k mark on my novella. I can’t tell you how excited I am that I’m actually keeping up:) 
 I can’t [...]

I’m Getting There

Friday, October 19th, 2007

2500 words today! So pleased with that and I’m liking the direction this story is taking.
I’m thinking about the other stories I want to write during this challenge. I really need to get my Vampire Oracle finished. That’s a biggie!
I’m also considering trying out sci-fi erotic romance. Somebody piqued my interest about it recently [...]

Why I Can’t Stand my F***%&% Computer!

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

It’s been a while but finally I’ve remembered to do a TT. Today’s subject is why I hate my computer so much. (Forgive the ranting)

1. It takes at least five minutes to open a programme.
2. Even though I have broadband, I don’t get the speed benefit because my computer is so slow.
3. I waste at [...]

The Words are coming and a small announcement

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

700 words so far today!!!! I’ll get the last 300 words before bed (maybe, I’ll even go over that).
I was lying in bed last night and it occured to me that my writing pattern is very much in tune with my yo-yo dieting pattern.
I always start off fast and furious:
In writing I start off [...]

Word Count

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

I made the decision. I’m going to work on an erotic contemp for the first part of the challenge. I got 1000 words out yesterday and today I brought the count up to 2263 (and yes, those 63 words do count, lol)
So far, so good.
Also, my diet and exercise plan is going pretty well too. [...]

Get Your Sweat On!

Monday, October 15th, 2007

It’s started. 70 Days of Sweat, Round 2, has officially begun. And although I haven’t written a word yet I’m already sweating like a pig.
I need 1000 words before I go to bed tonight and I still hav no clue which novella I’m gonna work on. Maybe a contemporary? Or the vamp that I still [...]

My Guilty Secret- SPOILER ALERT FOR “ALIAS”

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

 
About two months ago I started watching Alias. It’s a show about secret agents working for the CIA. It stars Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan (well, it used to star Michael Vartan). From the very first episode I was hooked. Between the clever plots, the thrilling action, the romance between Jennifer and Michael’s characters and [...]
