Who Took My Sleep?

Good morning!

If anybody's seen my sleep, please let me know. I'd like to have it back. I miss it. I promise to treat it well and respect it. I promise to never take it for granted ever again. Somehow or another my body thought it was a great idea to wake up several times last night. (I think it's plotting against me).

In other news I've managed to find the fun in Pierre and Delaney's relationship and so that's going smoother. I was actually happy to start Chapter 8 last night. I pushed through the part I wasn't sure of to get to a part I am sure about. I figure I can go back and rewrite the parts that I don't think are as good to make them better. I'm not afraid of rewriting things that need it--I've been known to delete over 30 pages. I figure rewriting is probably slightly easier because by then I would be more acquainted with the story and know more of where it was going. In any case it was fun having Pierre tease Delaney. He's quite good at it.

I have another parody that I wrote for my friend Les and his friend Bob called The Adventures of Super Les and His Sidekick Bob (What is it about my British friends that makes putting them in a parody so much fun?) I don't know Bob, but he's a friend of Les's and wanted me to write him a parody. I wrestled with the idea before finally deciding to stick Les in there so they could interact...then I thought it would be fun to make them super heroes! In any case, that one made Les laugh harder than Because Of The Pie. So I'm going to have to ask the if they don't mind if I post it up here. I think you all would find it funny, too. I found myself chuckling when I wrote it. More ridiculousness, except worse since the bad guy has an argument with the damsel in distress over the real identity of Super Les and Bob's super-hero gun is broken. Talk about chaos!

I do write serious stuff--as my story figuring Pierre and Delaney and their relationship proves, but sometimes I like to write something funny just to relax and give myself a good laugh. It helps keep the creative juices flowing.

Anyway...

Have a "Wascally" Wednesday! (Elmer Fud anyone? LOL)

They both sound good. I believe it stretches us creatively to go in different directions sometimes.

I'm waiting for Bob to get back to me, but I can't see him having a problem. I don't. Bring on the laughs.

I agree with Stephanie by all means. Writing different things like that HAS to be good for us. I love reading a number of things, I just have one genre that I prefer above all; same way with writing.

Thanks for posting unique stuff, it is fun to read.

Sorry it took me awhile to answer...

Earlier I was out and about and then I was having trouble with the site.

Stephanie--I agree and thanks!

Les--Just let me know what Bob says.

Regina--Glad you're enjoying them!

Have a great day!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Christie Craig

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting Christie Craig's email interview up. Normally I can just copy and paste interviews from my email into my blog, but this time my blog would NOT let me paste the interview! So everything has to be done manually, which takes longer. Anyway, let me introduce you to Christie Craig: I met her through the NWHRWA , which we're both members of. She's a real sweetheart. Funny, fun, and makes you feel comfortable (you don't feel shy or uncomfortable because she has a very hospitable presence about her). She's also very helpful, offers great advice and encouragement (I know this from experience, she's been very encouraging to me). Christie is a multi-published author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her works include things like Divorced, Desperate & Delicious and her up-coming non-fiction (with elements of fiction) work, Wild, Wicked And Wanton: 101 Ways To Love Like You're In A Romance Novel ...due out this ...
