I cringe in the face of technology
Seriously, technology freaks me out! Okay, with some things. Microsoft Vista? Just saying those two words make me tremble and not in a good way. I’m not EVEN going there until I have to!
It's Almost Summertime...Yay!
The temperatures are rising and soon it will be summertime, when the livin’ is easy. Makes me want to kick back in a hammock with a good book and a cold drink. Have you made your plans? What are you doing this summer? Taking a family vacation or maybe going somewhere with a group of friends? Perhaps thinking of something a bit more…exciting?
I Need Florida
A few weeks ago, when I was standing in the guidance counselor’s office, in the middle of my panicked rant about how my juniors were not going to be ready for their upcoming high-stakes graduation testing because we were almost to spring break and I wasn’t at the same point as last year in the curriculum and they weren’t taking anything seriously and… (you get the picture), our graduation coach glanced over at the guidance counselor and said, “Linda needs spring break.”
What A Morning!!
I’m sure you’ve all had mornings where you shake your head and wonder just what you’ve gotten yourself into. That’s how my mornings have played out for the last few days. Most of you know when I’m not writing I run a motel. Let me tell you, being in the hospitality industry is not all beer and skittles. Sometimes it’s a pain in the butt, dealing with all the differing characters who come through this place.
Spring Fever
I’m woefully behind on my writing goals and I’m even writing this post at the last minute. I find this time of year particularly hard for getting work done. I suppose I have a classic case of spring fever. The weather has been lovely here and there is a constant parade of flowers bursting into bloom. My preschooler exclaims about a new flower every time she walks through the yard.
Writing Challenges
I’m a writing challenge drop-out. NaNoWriMo, 70 Days of Sweat, even challenges at Romance Divas are, well, a challenge.
Real Life Character
My life just turned a tad more interesting. I don’t write historical fiction, but I want to. What’s stopping me? Fear baby. That’s right, I’m a big-ole scardy cat, fur fluffed, claws extended, hanging on to the ceiling like some cartoon kitteh all shivery and shaky. Why? Cause those who read historical romance are sticklers for accuracy. How would I know? I read historical romance. Oh, I don’t go so far as to insist my characters in the Renaissance don’t bathe, I bathe, they should too. I don’t want romantic characters smelling like they don’t wipe their behinds properly. Talk about suspending my disbelief, ewww
Obituary for Oswald
Tonight Oswald, my beloved laptop, died. Maybe it shouldn’t have been a shock, but it was. I’d replaced the hard drive back in December after the original hard drive had a meltdown, but Oswald gave me no clue that he was in his death throes. I thought we’d have at least another year or two together. And now he’s gone :-(
Ten Essentials on my desk or the muse is not amused
1. My cute jar with colored paperclips – an absolute must. I am always printing things out whether it’s affirmations, guidelines, goals, whatnot – and not just any paperclip will do.
