Lethargy? Check. Apathy? Check? Pissed off in general? Check. I’ve struggled this week, and I can’t really explain why. I tried to chalk it up to being worn out from traveling and “female” issues, but I can’t blame it all on them. I think I went like hell before Thanksgiving and wore myself out. Then … Read the rest →
Just a quick dash off tonight. I finished querying INTO THE DARK for at least a couple of weeks if not the rest of the year. We’ll see what happens. Spent a bit of time working on THE PROPHET and plan to dig into it starting next week. Spent most of yesterday and today traveling … Read the rest →
Trust me, that picture doesn’t do the muck justice. It’s snow mixed with rain, and when it hits the ground turns into cold slush. It’s really windy, and people are afraid to drive. Welcome to winter in Iowa. If you can’t tell, I detest it. Yes, snow’s pretty. Then the dogs go out and decorate … Read the rest →

It’s time for another Row80 check in! This week’s gone by so quickly, and tomorrow’s Halloween. Our stomachs will soon be stuffed with Thanksgiving feasts and then it will be mass hysteria as the holiday shopping season commences. I can hardly wait. Or not. Time’s ticking away on 2011, and I’m vowing to push hard … Read the rest →
I’m still playing catch up from my days out of town, so you can imagine the harried state I’ve been in the past few days. Blogs to write, to read and comment on, not to mention those little things called editing and writing. Organization isn’t my forte (at ALL), but I’m learning. I decided the … Read the rest →
Happy mid-week check in! I just paid all my bills and transferred some to the savings account. That alone is cause for celebration around here. Don’t forget to check out Thriller Thursday tomorrow. I’m interviewing New York Times Best Selling Author Allison Brennan. She talks about her writing process as well as the changes in … Read the rest →
No matter genre we write or read, I think we can all relate to this. How times have you read a sex scene and suddenly felt like you were either missing out or doing it wrong? I wish I could say today’s Row80 post was all about writing sex scenes, but it’s not. I just … Read the rest →
As soon as I wrote the title for this post, I immediately thought of this: Random, but now you’re beginning to see how my brain works! Onto Row80 Update: On Sunday I mentioned how the Snowflake Method helped me with my plotting. I was able to take my list of ideas and get about half … Read the rest →
