I"m finished!!!! "Brindie Spearman - Pop Princess" is done!!!

OMG, I am so happy to share with my friends. Tonight, just now! I finished my second erotica novella. 
This one is called "Pop Princess - Brindie Spearman" and YES, it is what you think it is.
I have some edits to do, and hope to get done with them as soon as next week. then a synopsis and query. Then, I'll submit it.
I have to say, this one was fun. Not because of my connection to Kevin, but because it was truly amazing to write something that the world will get a kick out of. If you like erotica, I am sure, you will like this. A look into the world of pop, hmmmmmm....
Have a nice night, :-)

911

Today I sat and watched several shows on TV recounting the terror of 911.
And like ten years ago, I felt as if my heart was being torn from my chest. 
Such a sad time for so many people. 
But today I was also reminded of the many reasons I am so PROUD of my country. 
The eyewitness accounts that I watched today showed me a pictures of true heroism. 
No matter who we are, what color we are, what sex we are, what religion we are, or whatever profession we chose, ALL of us stood together as Americas, and became one. 
AMERICA!!! I am so proud to be part of you....

Stress,,,,, "Got It?"

STRESS A young lady confidently walked around the room while explaining stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone was sure she was going to ask the ultimate question: 'Half empty or half full?' However, she fooled them all.  "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile. Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "That's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on." "As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden -- holding stress longer and better each time. So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night.... Pick them up tomorrow. "Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it and the now 'supposed' stress that you've conquered!" 1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue! 2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. 3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. 4 * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker. 5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. 6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. 7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. 8 * Never buy a car you can't push. 9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on. 10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. 11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late. 12 * The second mouse gets the cheese. 13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.  14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. 15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. 16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.  17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty, and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.  18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.  19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.  20 * It was I, your friend! *Save the earth: it's the only planet with chocolate!*

And More Snippets.....

Harper stood in the shadows of the hotel patio and watched the mayor of Elkhorn drive her buggy past him. He was well hidden in the dark, and was glad she didn’t notice him as she drove by. He’d been coming to Elkhorn Pass for the last two years and had actually only lived at gold center for a few months but had never stopped in the town of Elk-horn until tonight. He took a long drag off his cigar then threw it to the ground before squashing it under his boot. “Lady Aubuchon, Mayor of Elkhorn. A challenge I look for-ward to,” he drawled slowly from deep in his throat. He watched her until she was no longer visible under the moonlit night before he went back inside to join the others. He’d been on his way to deliver the gold, but now it would have to wait until he could build up more. The children would have to be patient; hell, he would have to be patient now. His schedule was beginning to stretch out further and further. His aunt would never release him from their agreement until the children were safe and secure. And neither would he

Men and their hair!

What happened to men and their hair?


I'm not talking the hair on their heads. We all know about the genetics as far as balding is concerned. You know.. the balding Gene comes from the mothers side of the family,,, and so on...


What I'm talking about is body hair. I mean, why are men shaving their bodies? I saw a commercial recently where a man shaved his entire body. it was some sort of razor, or shaving cream commercial. Anyway, whats wrong with a little masculine body hair. I happen to think hairy arms, chest, legs make a man more masculine. However, I am the first to admit that the hair on their backs can go....
I once watched the Ididerod race in Anchorage Alaska. When the mountain men came out in their furs, you could hardly see their eyes a midst all the hair. I thought they were cute, but not kissable. A little facial shaving would certainly do them good.

Anyway, I think curling up to my husband with all his hair is more fun. I am certain I would not like him to shave his arms and legs. And definitely not his chest.  


Have a nice day,,

Desperate Hearts Video on Youtube,,,,,,,

Hi friends,


Make sure to drop by youtube and take a peek at my "Desperate Hearts" video....

The meaning of the word "Saturday": Saturday is the last (seventh) day of the week on many calendars and in conventions that consider the week as beginning on Sunday, or the sixth day of the week according to international standard ISO 8601 which was first published in 1988.
Saturday was named no later than the 2nd century for the planet Saturn, which controlled the first hour of that day according to Vettius Valens. Its Latin name dies Saturni ("Saturn's Day") entered into Old English as Sæternesdæg.


Have a great day,,,

Lady Di's letters

I suppose there was a time when we could write a letter to our friends and expect them to remain private. And in most cases they would. However, when you are a person like Lady Di, you should expect privacy will eventually fly out the window. I have to wonder, if Lady Di were still alive today, would her long time friend, Margaret Hodge, sell her out?


Writing ones thoughts, or stories really is such a private thing. But in reality, everything we write down on paper is up for grabs. Unless you keep it locked away in your head. 
If Lady Di had lived, I wonder if she would have written a book. Maybe her memoirs, or the story of her life. If she had, it would most certainly have been made into a movie. A real movie, not one conjured up in someones imagination or taken from the words of someone who thought they knew her best.

I wonder,,,, would Lady Di have wanted her private letters sold if it meant an easier life for her friend? Would she have understood? 


Have fun writing today,, summer is here,, yeah,,,,

What's On Your Bucket List???

It's amazing how many bucket lists are out there? Have you written yours? What are you waiting for?

A bucket list does not mean you are ready to pack it all in and die. It's really just means for us to put down on paper what we would like to achieve before we "Kick The Bucket". So go ahead.....

Book that trip.
Volunteer.
Start a business.
Write your book.
Do something NOW! Don't wait....
Make your Bucket List – Then do 1 thing.
Then the next.
Then the next.

Why not me?

Do you ever wonder why you weren't invited?


I think we all must have asked ourselves that question. Some event comes up that excites us, and we wait in anticipation for the big invite that never comes. Disappointment takes over our emotions, and then anger develops as we wonder why we were left out. And we ask,,, why not me?


I think as authors, we have all dealt with this in one way or another. We submit our query letters and we wait. Then when the invitation to submit our manuscript does not come, we feel let down.


An invitation to a party we just knew we should have been invited to, is about the same as an invitation to submit our work to an editor.  The disappointments are the same and the rejection is the same. But god love us all, we are strong. One rejection, whether it be from that long awaited party, wedding, baby-shower, or manuscript,,,,  should not rule our day. 


Get up, get dressed, write-write-write,,, and have a great day...............

Sees caramels and books

Ooh-la-la,,, See's has their double caramels again. I'm off to the store to get some,,, 
Eating candy and reading go hand in hand. A caramel in one and a book in the other. Or in my case, a keyboard in the other. 


Have a fabulous Sunday, it is raining here in Clovis, but a lovely day nonetheless....

Wednesdays are my Mondays

Got the back to work blues,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thank goodness I live where I work. I actually really do love this place. REALLY!!!

Balancing the day job with my writing can sometimes be a challenge, but always worth it. I use this quote to motivate me,,,,, ""Learn the rules of good writing… then learn when and how to break them""

Talk at ya tomorrow,,,, have a good hump day.............

Are You Ready?

According to Harold Camping, today at 6:00PM it is doomsday. And according to the CDC, there are ways to survive Zombie infestations.
Who knew? 

Have a wonderfully beautiful day. When 6:00PM rolls around step outside and throw your neighbor a kiss.
If the predictions come true it was nice knowing you.....and I'll see you on the other side. :-)
