So, I always knew I’d like to watch Californication. I mean, c’mon. David Duchovny? I’ve had a hardon for that sumbitch since he wanted to believe. And, he’s playing a writer? Honestly, I don’t usually like media portrayals of writers, because they’re almost never like my life, and I find myself agitated about my lack [...]

1. I find it hard to give my heroines “jobs.” This is because my job is being a writer, and it’s the only job (aside from being a full-time stay home mother, which is a job, believe me. It’s a job) I’ve had since 1997 or so. So, I like to have my heroines have [...]

Remember that day when I had to write a bazillion words? Well. I did it. But I didn’t finish the book “on time.” (Quotes because I had no real deadline.) A 5 day power outage effectively screwed up that plan. But I will finish it today, hooray, hooray! This is also National Novel Writing Month, [...]

Today, I’m gonna do it. I’m working on a project without a contract or a deadline (other than self-imposed) and this has allowed me to be a bit of a slacker. But see, I’m using Scrivener to write it, and Scrivener has this awesome feature which allows you to put in your deadline, what days [...]

Well, because frankly, I can’t learn you nothin’ on how to write. I can’t teach you how to write. I can’t teach you how to get published. I can’t teach you how to get an agent. I can’t teach you anything. You can either write, or you can’t. Oh, sure, you can get better over [...]

So I’ve been watching Mad Men over the past few days. By this I mean, consuming mass quantities of Mad Men on Netflix streaming, several episodes at a time. I like it. I don’t love it. But I like it a lot. I love the clothes. I’m amazed at the amount of booze and cigarettes [...]

I’m not talking about the NYT or USA Today bestseller lists (though a huge congrats must go out to my my bestie, Lauren Dane, for hitting the USA Today list! WOOOO!) – I’m talking about a numerically ordered grouping of items with a shared theme of some sort. Oh, like…a “To Do List.” For example, [...]

This is supposed to be a “work” week. I am actually at the beach for week number two, the first being “vacation” — in which I actually wrote! But what can I say, strike when the iron’s hot or whatever. I was inspired. But now, here I am, and I’m supposed to be working because [...]

I just read Lauren Dane’s most excellent blog post on Writing BDSM and that got me to thinking about this whole business of writing sex. I’ve written before about inspiration, and I’m sure I’ve touched on writing sex and why I like it, so forgive me if I repeat myself. Because I write sexually graphic [...]

So. The past two nights I was up to the glorious hours of 2 am and 1:30 am, respectively, but the beauty of this is that I am able to luxuriate in bed in the morning. That’s right, my doves, I said LUXURIATE. The reason I’m able to do this is because in the summer [...]
