Chocolate for Dinner? Why That Sounds Sublime.

I'm being interviewed over at the lovely Jill Kemerer's today. Stop by if you have time.

WINNER!!! Robyn Campbell, you are the winner of A Hope Undaunted by Julie Lessman. :-) I need your addy, please.

Thanks Tori for the Versatile blogger award! I can't play the game now, but maybe soon. Thank you!

























I also have a thanks going out to Linda Rohrbrough, a fellow agency-mate who makes wonderful writer clocks. I met her at the conference and she kindly sent me one.

What are your plans for today? Any special items on the menu?

Kara, I hope your daughter feels better soon!

Thanks Janna. Hugs back atcha! :-)

Linda, it really is cute. I'm still trying to decide where to hang mine.

Joanne, there should be, right? Except I drink my coffee while writing, so maybe that's why. lol

I'll be jumping over to Jill's. I've liked those clocks since I saw them in Dallas. You are so lucky to have one!!

Loree, awesome, join the club! lol

Jeanette, absolutely! :-)

Hahaa, Talli. Hope you got something yummy!

Jessica Nelson said…
Thanks Patti! I should probably e-mail her...

Hi Stacie, I think it's so cool your DH reads your work. :-)

Thanks Brandi! I'm trying to decide where to hang mine, since I write in the living room.

Jessica Nelson said…
Sarah, they are pretty nifty, I think. And nice and short.

Cheryl, they were there? I completely missed them. Hmmm.

Eileen, you've seen them too? Wow, I must've been out of the loop. lol

Thank you Warren!

LOL, I never saw that clock, so I guess I've been out of the loop too. We have that in common. :P I don't mean to derail this thread, but I'm not sure where to comment on your new trailer. I like how the characters are sort of shadowy. It has other things that appeal to me, too: classical music, some sort of handwritten letter (that one always grabs my eye), and the intrigue of what the secrets are... Well done!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll be looking forward to your post about book trailers! :)

Everybody loves the clock. Well, it is so very cool.

I'll be seeing your interview soon.

Hi Barb,
Thanks for popping by. :-) I haven't put my trailer up on the blog yet. I think somewhere on YouTube there's a place to comment, but I don't know how. I also posted it on Facebook but aren't sure we're friends. Thank you so much for your sweet comments! I appreciate them.

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?
