library update

I scored at the liberry, y’all. I gorged a bit. Came home with five books (only five?!) and two DVD’s. Never mind the bazillion books I have on my TBR pile (literally, a pile, by my bed. Well, three piles.) I got some Orson Scott Card, some Scott Westerfield, some Charlaine Harris…wheee ha! I got [...]

There are songs I love and have loved forever. Songs that I can listen to a million times and never tire of hearing. Here’s one that stays with me no matter where I am, where I go, how old I get, who I’m with, where’ve I’ve been or what I’m doing. I need you, To [...]

The face…

This is why it’s so difficult for me to write at my desk in the late afternoon… THE SUN! THE SUN! Oh, and here’s the face of a writer who’s just finished her NINETEENTH novel (not counting the short stories or the book that’s 2/3 finished and will never be finished if I don’t sell [...]

second Verse

70000 words 70% finished line of the day: The three, simple words that in the past had so easily fallen from her mouth like marbles didn’t seem adequate to describe the width and depth and breadth of her emotions when she was with him. Or without him. And because ’tis my natal day, I shall [...]

thanks to The Fray…
