Seriously, thanks so much for all the help yesterday. I appreciate all the comments and bits of advice I got, both on this blog and elsewhere. After a lot of talking/reading comments and emails, I have my ducks in a row concerning Incubus. So, in true Two For Tuesday style, I have a quick two-part [...]
Let me tell you a story about poor little Incubus: While I have wanted to be a writer since I was really young, that goal got sidelined for some time while I was busy trying other things in life. Then, just over a year and a half ago, I had a dream. When I woke [...]
…girl-crushes. Yeah, I can admit it. I have some girl-crushes. (Don’t worry, Bubba knows all about my girl-crushes, and finds this little bit of my personality endearing.*) These ladies are ones who I just adore–I seek out their movies, TV shows, and music like crazy. I just can’t get enough of them. Now, I was [...]
If you have ever watched DEXTER*, you know that Deb has a filthy mouth. Seriously–you know the phrase “swear like a sailor”? Well, Debra Morgan makes sailors blush. Her vocabulary is just that dirty. All the cussing probably bothers some people when they watch the show, but it doesn’t really phase me. But, at the [...]
…I wanna be: For this week’s Road Trip Wednesday, YA Highway wants to know: Which writer’s career would you most like to emulate? When I first read this question last week, two names immediately popped to mind. But then, of course, I had to go be me and think and ponder and fret and try [...]
For today’s Two For Tuesday feature, I am going to quickly share two AWESOME things. 1. The fabulous Kiersten White has a cover for her book! It is beautiful–totally my kind of cover. 2. Kate Hart, the wonderful blogger behind Two For Tuesday, gave me an Aweseomesauce Award! What’s that, you ask? Well: Rules if [...]
You might remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned I was starting a complete rewrite of Incubus. Now, if you glance to the sidebar (—–>), you will notice that the word-count ticker for Incubus is still completely empty. Hmmm. That does not match up. What happened is I came across a period of this [...]
Yeah, that’s how hard I laugh when I watch this. I snort. Maybe you just need the right kind of humor, I don’t know, but I find this hilarious. Thanks Rani and Shannon for introducing me to the Potter Puppet Pals and getting this song eternally stuck in my head. Happy Friday, everyone! You might [...]
…tidbits about Southport, North Carolina. 1. Because Southport is so close to Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, many TV shows and movies have been filmed there. You can see Southport in episodes of Dawson’s Creek, and in the movies I Know What You Did Last Summer and A Walk to Remember (and many more). 2. [...]
In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, YA Highway wants us to all write a limerick about our favorite books and/or works in progress. Holy commas! This one was hard. Apparently I have lost my touch since my stellar Freshman-Year-English-Class limerick. Of course, my determination to write one for both a WIP and my favorite book [...]
