I’ve only been at this for a little over two years. This crazy business of writing. As you know by now, it didn’t start out as a hobby for me… I jumped in with both feet. Put all my pens in one container and started. Easy… nope. Worth it… oh yeah! Often the first question [...]

I’ve been tagged again. This time by April Martinez, talented artist and art director at Liquid Silver Books. And there’s no way around the truth — I volunteered because 1) I don’t mind talking about myself. 2) I like reading other people’s blogs and finding out interesting things about them and 3) I’m hoping it may bring some [...]
Getting the Facts Straight
Published January 23rd, 2008 in Curiosity, Life Observations, Ramblings, Research and Writing. 11 CommentsOkay, I can’t post today without first making note of what a tragic ending Heath Ledger had to his life. The man was only 28 with a young child. News reports state that he is best known for his role in “Broke Back Mountain”, but I fell in love with him in “10 Things I [...]
Islands in the Stream
Published January 19th, 2008 in Family, Fun, Husband and Ramblings. 4 CommentsOkay, so Baby Girl goes off to work, Little Boy Blue hops on the bus for a basketball game and DH asks… wait for it… “wanna go snowmobiling?” Not what I was expecting, but heck, we just got another foot of snow, it’s above 10 degrees F and the sun is shining. I figure what [...]
So how much is too much?
Published January 17th, 2008 in Curiosity, Ramblings and Writing. 9 CommentsWriting. *sigh* I’m avoiding it like the plague this morning. I’m not sure why, just am. The laundry and bills seem to be shouting louder than my WIP and I’m having a grand time flitting around blogs and visiting with my friends. I turned to my own blog in hopes of channelling my energy into something at [...]
To a scientist, being tagged means a little orange clip on one’s ear or a critter-cam on one’s back. Since I didn’t wake up with either of those this morning, I’m going with the child’s version of tag… and I guess now I’m IT! Which now means I have to dig deep into who I am and tell you [...]
M & M… not your Mama’s Candy!
Published January 12th, 2008 in Curiosity, Erotica and Research. 5 CommentsWhat follows is a frank discussion on writing erotica. If you are easily offended or not over 18, you should stop now and find another blog. Otherwise, onward… Okay, it’s on my mind. I’ve been trying to avoid this blog. But I can’t. I just have to know what people think. You see, I’m into research. I [...]
First Review… was I ready?
Published January 9th, 2008 in Books, Healer's Garden, Nina and Reviews. 6 CommentsUmm… no. Because no matter how much I wanted to hear what other people thought *gulp* I didn’t want them to think my little baby was ugly or stupid or dorky. I want everyone to love my brainchild as much as I do, snuggle up with it, and get warm and fuzzy all over. Is this [...]
Sometimes Enjoying Winter is a Good Thing
Published January 7th, 2008 in Family, Fun, Husband, Men and Weather. 2 CommentsI’m not very shy about voicing my displeasure with Maine winters. They’re cold, messy, and loooong. But I gotta tell you. There are some days, like last Saturday that even a cynic can enjoy. The sun was out, casting blue shadows on the pristine snow. It was practically balmy at a very comfortable 25 degrees [...]
Reclaiming What is Rightfully Mine
Published January 5th, 2008 in Children, Family, Husband, Life Observations and Rants. 4 CommentsAre the holidays really over? The drooping branches and growing pile of pine needles beneath my poor Christmas tree claim that its glory has come and gone. Of course the lights, still on a timer, happily twinkle on beginning at 3:37 pm and click off promptly at 10:12 pm. The stockings that hung with care are now strewn hap-hazardly about [...]
