Affiliate Disclaimer

Hello friends!

Just so you know, I try to use affiliate links when promoting products. What that means is that if you use the link I post and decide to buy something, I get a small cut from the company as a thank you for sending a customer their way. It doesn't affect the price you pay in any way, it simply allows me to hopefully generate some income from my writing.
That being said, you can trust that I would NEVER encourage you to buy a product that I don't believe in. If you have a bad experience with something I've recommended, let me know. Your input matters to me just as much as my personal experience.

Thanks and feel free to let me know if you have any questions about the affiliate links!

Welcome 2012!

Today is the first day of the New Year and while it really isn't much different than yesterday (it is almost noon and again I am still in my pajamas), I am among the mass mind set that it is the day for new beginnings. I know from prior experience that the gyms are crowded right now and that stores are stocking the shelves with home organization products (that reminds me, the Elfa sale at The Container Store should be starting soon). Which brings me to my not quite so new beginning. While I've always enjoyed writing, it wasn't until almost three years ago that I started writing my first novel. I've since finished it (and I use finish loosely because it is always evolving and I imagine will continue to do so until the day it is finally published) and started working on a second and third with more ideas in mind. Well this is the year that I step things up and make my writing a priority. I need to spend everyday writing in some form whether it be on this blog, a ...

Fake it 'til You Make It

Well, the conference is over and this is the first chance I have had for a new post now that we are in a hotel with free wi-fi since I am such a cheapskate (at times). On Saturday I had an editor pitch and later an agent pitch. When I had signed up for the appointments back in May, I had to be quick about it so as I didn't see any publishers I was familiar with, I had to do a quick search on-line to make sure that they published my genre; contemporary/women's fiction. Fast forward to the night before my appointment and I finally do the homework on the specific editor and discovered that she was the only editor who did not cover my genre. Damn it. So on a whim I decided to pitch a book that was her genre that I had in the works. I wrote the pitch minutes before walking in. She asked me questions and I answered them best I could. She asked me what the word count was and I said 60K which was a downright lie. The truth was that it was only 30K and what I did have I had de...

Evolving too Fast

An observation that I wanted to share... Over the winter break we watched the movie Thor, an awesome movie by the way, and the next day I found myself thinking about how more evolved races are sometimes portrayed in movies. Thor's father was alive during the time of the Vikings, and then was still ruling in present time. In the Stargate series, the Asgard also had long life expectancies. There was a more recent Star Trek Movie (Nemesis I think) where Captain Picard ends up on a planet where they could slow down time. Which made me think, to evolve properly, we need to move slower. (I'd like to point out here that when I refer to evolving, I don't mean as a species, but rather as a society.) For modern society, slow does not appear to be a word in our vocabulary, unless we are complaining about it. My husband found this youtube video a while back about how fast technology is changing and it's rather mind boggling. " http://www.youtube.com/e...
