magick musings…

Everytime I do something different with this blog, I am a nervous wreck! Learning different things – thanks to the help of a good friend who is fearless on the computer.

Sherrilyn Kenyon’s newest in her Dark-Hunter series.

This morning started off with words with my DH.

Not a good morning.

Found out I was scheduled to work at an office an hour away and not the one fifteen minutes from home. Running late.

A bad morning.

Half way there, I dropped my diet coke all over the carpeted floorboard of my new car.

A terrible morning.

Thought about everything I needed to do and that which I wanted to do and wondered why in the world I agreed to work today.

A miserable morning.

Remembered I hadn’t worked on my WIP in three weeks while all my writer friends were getting closer to publication.

Slit my throat morning.

Sat at the car wash at noon getting my carpets shampooed while I ate my lunch. Bought the neatest sticky notes for a good friend. She’ll laugh when I give them to her.

Better afternoon.

Phone call from DH. He was wrong, please forgive him.

Nice afternoon.

Driving home in clean, fresh smelling, like new car. Stopped and picked up the new JD Robb.

Great afternoon.

Driving for an hour – lots to think about. Discovered why I put off writing. Fear. Once you know problem you can fix it.

Determined afternoon.

Decided to face my fear head on. Got home. Did some chores. Wrote on synopsis. Wrote on blog. Wrote on article for newsletter. Wrote on website.

What a fantastic day!

My thoughts and prayers to the victims of the London tragedy. What a horrible thing to have happened.

Also for those in the paths of the hurricanes this weekend.

As I enjoyed my safe, albeit hot, weekend, I felt for those whose lives were changed drastically. May God bless and keep them close.

I have just started reading Cindy Gerard’s new series titled The Bodyguards. The first one To The Edge is very sexy book with a very, very sexy hero. Gonna be fun finding out how Jillian Kincaid tames this one!

I just finished Geralyn Dawson’s Her Bodyguard and it is also a fantastic read. The McBride Menaces have grown up and Mari McBride is a definitely a worthy heroine. Sexy, funny, and a must read in my book!

The first time I heard the phrase ‘blog’, I was sitting next to a literary agent at one of my writer’s groups conferences. When he asked me if I had a blog, I wasn’t sure if I should feel offended or complimented. What in the world was a blog? Having no idea what he was talking about and not wanting to appear stupid, I just simply asked “Why? Should I?” He proceed to tell me that everyone and anyone interested in being published should have a blog. I took into consideration all the liquor he had consumed and just nodded. Since then, several of my writer’s friends have joined the ranks of the blog world and I discovered I loved reading them. So, now I have decided to take the agent’s (whom I cannot remember his name, but can remember his bar tab) sage advice and create my own. Thanks to a fantastic friend, who has spent many hours helping me, and she knows who she is. I couldn’t have done it without her. And, no matter what she says, is an excellent writer!
