Surprisingly

Surprisingly, Keli Gwyn thinks I'm interesting enough to interview over at her blog Romance Writers on the Journey.

I'd love for some of you to stop by and say hello! :-) Also, commenters are entered to win a prize.

So, no blog today! Hope to see you all over there.

You posted this at 4:00 a.m.? WOW. No wonder you go to bed at 7:30 every night. Heehee

Your interview was great. Good job! And what a wonderful way to get out of posting for a few days. Snort!

Have a great day with your kiddos. :-)

Oh, I guess it was 5:00 a.m. with the time difference. Heh.

Your word count is looking great, BTW!

Girl, it is NOT five where I am. The kids woke me up at 6:45.
LOL
If it was five am, I'd be laying on the couch in a trance. Not pretty. Bleary-eyed, limp limbed, drooling... LOL Just kidding!

I can schedule the posts, so I scheduled it to go up at 5. Or 4. Something. :-)

Congratulations on the interview, Jessica. I discovered we have a couple things in common besides writing. We both married our high school sweethearts...for me 4 years after graduation...and our hubbies are fishermen. Mine has started building custom made rods and lures. I don't think there is anything my guy cannot make...except for pie

Hey Rita, that is so interesting! Jimmy actually just bought a custom made pole and uses it in pics that he puts up with his posts on FL Sportsman for advertisements.
Does your husband have a website?
So he doesn't make pie, huh?
That stinks. LOL

We All Got to Learn to Do It Sometime

*grossness alert* We all have to learn to deal with doo-doo eventually. Consider me a newbie mom, but it never occurred to me that my son should be wiping himself until about a month before kindergarten. And then the flashbulb went on and I scrambled to teach him. One problem. He didn't want to. He's fastidious and doesn't like to make mistakes, so the thought of taking care of this daily chore literally reduced him to screaming and crying on the toilet. Basically, he didn't trust himself. He was afraid. Scared to get his hands dirty. Afraid he'd miss something. This is probably weird, but it made me think of us as writers. There comes a point where we have to "grow up" and trust ourselves. We can't always rely on a crit group, agent, or editor to wipe up our mess. I think this should be a part of maturation for every writer, that we can look at our work and be confident in our ability to clean it up. Not saying we'll make it perfect or that we won...

Work First, Play Later

I'm back! I had a wonderful time with my family. Thank you all for asking. :-) In 2009 my schedule evolved into a blog first/write later kind of thing. It happened that way because my husband began using the computer in the afternoons and evenings for his project, but now that I have a router, my schedule's changing. It's time to work first, play later. That means I do my chores/errands in the morning, write at naptime, and visit your wonderful blogs in the afternoons and evenings. So if I don't show up in the morning, don't be alarmed (if you even notice, lol). I'm just changing things up. I'm too exhausted in the evening to write, that's why. During the day I have way more energy to write but at night there's a fifty percent chance I won't do it because I'm so tired. When's the best time for you to write? I also need to shout out my awesome crit partner, Linda Glaz! Some of you may have met her at ACFW. She's a wonderful, faithful, ...

Melodramatic Mother

Mom, this one's for you. *wink* The other day we were on the phone and my mom was describing some of her ailments to me. She's normally a healthy person, but she does suffer from allergies and sinus issues. She's also a vivid person and this comes across in her language. In this case, she told me her pain was skewering up through her nose. Skewering. She never finished the description because I laughed. What a perfect word! Strong, to the point, I had an exact (if somewhat gross) image of what was happening. Do you have a vivid person in your life? Someone who thinks in ways you forget to? And in your WIP, are you using the strongest verb possible to convey EXACTLY what you mean?
