Well, I’m doing it. I’m setting aside the second draft of the sequel to my novel which is being shopped around to dive into a totally different book. I need new characters and new places to take them…so I’m excited to spend this month spilling out fifty thousand words.
I used this model to [...]

I got an email this morning that said my agent is ready to sell the book. She thought the changes were great and she just needs my bio and eight copies of the manuscript! I can’t believe it…must have been that flying dream…Yea!!! Thanks for all the support from so many [...]

I’m drowning in a sea of crap and unimportant facts that mean nothing to my life.
I thought you’d want to share in it. Not right to hog all the crap for myself…
While immersed in an article about Nicole Richie and her amazing themed birthday party that was hosted by and written up in [...]

Anyone know the meaning of “flying” in dreams? I had such a vivid dream that I was flying, struggling to do so, but succeeding nonetheless that I swear I know what it would feel like if I could take to the air right now…Anyone?

Okay, well during my cleaning of the closets, I went through a bunch of purses I haven’t used in years and came across a receipt from Victoria’s Secret and one from Ann Taylor. Both were dated 8/16/03. I’m pretty sure this was the last time I set foot in either store but it [...]

Good news: My agent is working her way through my revisions and thinks they look good…hopefully the [...]

I couldn’t leave the depressing Chronic Illness post at the top or I’d lose my happy go lucky readership…so I thought I’d post on some random things like, my hair.
Yes, that fantastic hairdo I got in Arizona and have done a good job of “stylin’” every damn day, is going awry.
I knew it would.
It actually [...]

Chronic Illness blows.
For me, that means Multiple Sclerosis.
But recently things have been getting better.
By recent I mean in the last six months.
I’m surprised everyday that I’m feeling better.
I’m more suprised when feeling better lets me realize just how bad I felt.
There are people in my life who have no idea how bad it sucks to [...]

Hi there,
I’m in rainy Pittsburgh which normally I don’t mind…I love Pittsburgh’s mostly dreary weather…I especially love running in the rain. I don’t know why, but I always have. Though, today, I shorted out my walkman…It was still good.
I love the rain about ninety percent of the time. But without a doubt [...]
