Dear Joshua Radin…

You have a new record out, yay!

I love your songs! Yay!

People, check him out here:

Yes, so I dedicated a book to him and whatever, he’s never acknowledged that he got it or whatever, that’s what happens. I still love his music even if having a smutty romance dedicated to him made him embarrassed or whatever. Yeah, whatever.

And yay, I get to see him in concert again! Yay!

With or without you

There are songs that no matter what I am doing or where I am, I will stop to listen to.

With Or Without You (Joshua Tree, Side One, Song Three, if you had the cassette, as I did) by U2 is one of those songs.

It just came on.

And suddenly I’m not almost 37 any more and I haven’t published a word and I’m nobody’s mother and my hair’s not purple.

And you give yourself away.

And you give, and you give, and you give yourself away.

What songs do that for you?

Dear Lifehouse…

…I love you!

Yeah, that’s me and them. We’re tight.

That’s me and my sister. Thanks, Sister!

And here they are singing the perfect song for Switch. It’s called Whatever It Takes. Buy it now. It’s lovely.

I like my boys a little bit older…

…well, I guess it depends on what I need them for. :)

Been listening to Katy Perry’s cover of Use Your Love. Heh. I liiiiiiiiike it. Also her song Ur So Gay makes me smile.

So, been cleaning off my desk, organizing photos, working on some short fiction, doing some business related stuff that’s not writing but is necessary. 2008 is fast approaching and I’m going to be ready for it. I have three books I need to write in 2008. All three are already started. One is already contracted.

I am prepared to face 2008 with courage and conviction and discipline. I will do the work. I will take the time. I will be there for my family and friends and I will be there for myself. I will take more pictures, make more videos, read more books, dance more and sing more karaoke. I will write like I don’t have a reputation. I will kiss that man I live with when he least expects it. I will pursue new projects with determination and I will keep my house clean. Ok, forget that last one. It ain’t gonna happen.

2007 was a pretty damned good year for me. Thank you to everyone who helped make it so.

Things I would like to accomplish while my children are home with school: repaint my bathroom, paint my upstairs hall, paint my bedroom and dressing room. (Pretty sure it’s not going to happen, but I’d like to do it anyway.) I’m going with a chocolate brown, I think, with pale teal towels. In the bathroom. I don’t know. I would like to find a reason to use my new Superman shower curtain rings, but since I don’t have a shower curtain, something tells me that’s not going on in the bathroom.

Ahem.

You know what would be a GREAT birthday present for me? A stripper who starts off dressed as Superman. I’m just saying. My birthday is months away, so…if you’re a stripper and you look like Superman (I’m not picky, actually, you only have to sorta look like him) please make plans to be working for me on my birthday.

Moving forward.

I’ve reached the point in The Stand where something bad is being set up to happen. I’d forgotten about it. And now I don’t want to finish reading. See, I know what happens (it’s one of my favorite books, after all.) And I don’t want to lose my favorite character again. Right now, he’s fine. A few pages from now, he’s dead.

:(

I have my own book to write today, though, and so far nobody’s dying.

Every book is different, ya know, they all start off the same, sort of, with an idea, but then they grow and change and after a few weeks I can’t even remember what it was like to not know what was going on. I wrote one chapter yesterday and I started getting a good feeling about the character, and all the twists and turns. I’ll say this, SWITCH is definitely going to be a twisty, turny book. Bendy (in honor of Dean Winchester, who likes it bendy!)

And this is good.

It’s also intimidating, so what have I been doing? Despite my best intentions? I’ve been looking at advertising rates. I have to do that, though. Tempted comes out in January and I really need to get cracking on ads. I’m using different places this time. Sexier places. Susie Bright’s blog, a great website called The Erotic Woman and a magazine called Scarlet if I can afford it. :)

And for some of those I have to do some cover art resizing which means I have to go downstairs to the PC (horrors!!!) because I don’t have a good banner making/photo program for the Mac, which is ridiculous but I don’t have Photoshop and it intimidates me. I tried the trial and simply couldn’t learn how to do it fast enough to suit me.

Anyhoodle.

I need to write another chapter today SPANK SPANK!

And because someone wants to know phrases to talk dirty in bed:

Guy to girl: “Show me how to do exactly what you want.” — It’s not dirty but I bet you she’ll really like it.

My new favorite song is Empty Walls by Serj Tankian who is my new music boyfriend.

But back to the bendy book — I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure this book is going to be really convoluted and layered and not exactly a mystery but sort of like…a puzzle, with pieces that all have to fit together exactly right. And I don’t know why Jack is in there again, but he is. Well, ok, I love Jack and I can never, never have enough Jack. But also, Lane DeMarco who is going to be in my upcoming Spice Brief, This Is What I Want (title might change) is also in it, and THAT was a real surprise! But I love it! Because Lane DeMarco is 6 and a half feet of yummy and how can you not love a guy in a cowboy hat?

And it’s Tuesday, but I won’t think about what that means or doesn’t mean.

Goodbye, all, I shall endeavor to resist the internet today.
