Word Whore Thursday: Mine Eyes!

Posted in blog, sex, word-whores, writing | Leave a comment
I’m over at my weekly Word-Whores post today, talking about what happens when your family members read your sex scenes. (If anything. Maybe you’ve got super cool family members. Maybe they disown you. Maybe they don’t care?) Feel free to run over there and laugh and share your own experiences with the awkward way of words. (Don’t even get me started on my co-workers, particularly the ones that won’t look me in the eye anymore. *ahem*)… Read more

Word-Whore Thursday

Posted in blog, updates, word-whores | 1 Comment
I’m over at Word Whores today talking a bit about daydreams (And I dug into my muppet nerdom past to pull out a little Rainbow Connection video too, because I dig Kermit.) Otherwise…I’m on the downhill side of the draft for A Trace of Moonlight (and should be done within the next week or so. And then I’ll be madly revising for a few weeks, but it’s all good.). I am giving myself a little early present this Sunday though – my stress levels have been extra high for the last few weeks (to the point where I actually almost bought a ticket to London…just because I’d never been there and thought it might a great place to crash for a few days. It’s probably best that I don’t make snap purchases in that frame of mind, so I talked myself out of it because, hey, real life…but still. Maybe… Read more

Word-Whore Thursday: What’s In a Name?

Posted in blog, title, word-whores | Leave a comment
I’m over at Word Whores today, as per usual for my Thursday post.  (All about names today.) And speaking of names, it is that time again – third book title time. I’ve still got my list from the last time we did this, so I’m working off that one and trying to come up with some new ones as well. Hard to find something that 1) Makes sense and 2) Rolls of the tongue. *goes back to brainstorming*… Read more

Word-Whore Thursday

Posted in blog, perfection, word-whores | Leave a comment
I’m over at the Word Whores today for my usual Thursday posting. This week the theme is perfection, which is a rather futile goal –  noble to strive for, sure, but perfection is really in the eye of the beholder anyway. What’s a deal breaker for some is endearing to someone else. It’s sort of like writing – you can’t please everyone and you shouldn’t really try. The more you try to be all things to all people the less likely you are to succeed pleasing anyone.… Read more

Word-Whore Thursday: Fear Itself

Posted in blog, nothing to fear but fear itself, word-whores | Leave a comment
Just a little note to say I’m over at Word-Whores today, talking a little bit about fear. I’m afraid of an awful lot at times, though I’d guess most of it tends to be irrational (although I suspect most creative types are irrational nutjobs when it comes stuff like that. But that’s what makes us creative, right?) That’s what I tell myself, anyway…. >_<… Read more
