Waking up to a two hour delay, not because of snow but ice. It’s 29 degrees out there. Now I know that you in the midwest and northeast probably would think this is warm. But this is the Willamette Valley. And for us, it’s darn cold. There are accidents all over the valley. But this school delay give me time to blog and to write […]

I’m waking up to a beautiful sunny day–no rain. My weather contest is coming to an end and I’ll be looking for the most romantic city in the world. My personal favorite in Paris but I love New York. Every city seems to take on a personality all its own. And I suppose the ones with the most pazazz (is that how you spell that […]

It has been one week since the challenge to write 1000 words a day went out in my RWA group. It has definitely been a challenge and I wrote a little over 7000 words last week. Now I’m starting over. Thank you Alice for issuing the challenge. I’m confident now that I will finish this book before summer gets here. Wow! I didn’t think I […]

The 1000 words a day is a challenge. I managed 600 words today even though I worked all day and coached my swim team. I was proud of myself. I got home, ate dinner, watched my one soap then wrote. My goal was to write 500 words. So I will have to do that tomorrow too. It’s a good feeling to make your goals and […]

One day down, 30 to go. I managed almost 3000 words yesterday and I’m quite satisfied. I will edit and then write some more today. I realized that I was close to half way on this book. My original goal was to finish by the end of summer. However, with this challenge and ongoing encouragement, I might finish in March. Still no luck with my […]

I accepted Alice’s challenge of 1000 words a day. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it, but at least I will make sure I write every day. I’ve finished Highland Song and now need only to do edits. I am working on An Uncommon Thief which was renamed in my October contest. Please, if the winner is out there, email me at […]

After spending hours and brack-breaking work the heroine finally rescues the hero. She comes to realize that the hero will never change. Even though she loves him with every breath in her body, he will never be able to return that love. He believes in passion but not love. She is heart broken but stronger. At least she has known a moment of love. She […]

My hero and heroine are getting closer to her home. They’ve found an Inn to stay the night…but. Isn’t there always a but? The heroine’s long time friend and suitor finds the dynamic duo and bursts the hero’s bubble so to speak. Ah, the trials of young lovers. There is never an easy path and it’s my job to fill that path full of as […]

Worked on my websight again. I think it’s looking good but I’m going to need some input. All I will work on today will be the links. I was able to use some of my Europe pictures on the sight and that was fun. I came up with a contest for February when I was looking at my picture of the Eiffle Tower. Tune in […]

The first day of the new year. How many of you stayed up and watched the new year come in? I didn’t. I really am getting old. I almost watched the ball drop in Time Square. I was 5 minutes late. Sigh. On the other side, my 27 year old daughter told me I was welcome at her party. Maybe I’m not so old. I’ve […]
