Discover my online journal, friendly, warm, and hopefully supportive. Warning: you won't find anything juicy or spicy on this site; everything is close to G. Still interested? Then welcome to my blog!
Is there a thing or things that you love the most, not because it costs a lot, but because of what it means to you? I have some photos I treasure more than others,...
It's so nice to be home! I know I didn't discover America with that. But you just want to see your beloved ones, breathe in the scent of freshly brewing coffee (not medicines...
As I was going to post again, things happened, and now I share my time between hospital and work (no, I'm not complaining). So here's a quick post for meme game. My...
For those of you wonderful people who visited my blog lately and didn't find anything new, thank you and my honest explanation. I was moving, both away and moving on, and it...
I post earlier than my usual 4-5 days break, but I have a good reason. Imagine red carpet. Cameras flashes. Shouts of fans and requests for autographs. Gazes of admiration. And...
No, it's not exactly the call to vote in the blog contest. But thank you to everyone who participated -- voting behind the curtains, i.e. through e-mails was enough active...
You probably noticed that my blog has a new look. So far, I received positive response about the change (huge thanks to everyone!), but if there's something you don't like,...
After Hamlet's "to be or not to be" come many alike questions. To blog or not to blog? To condom or not to condom (Suzanne's blog)? And after a great workshop by Lisa, I have...
First, a couple of announcements. My workshop "Knowing Your Characters" kicks off this Friday on Gonna-Beez, so if you'd like to sign up, I'll be happy to have you. Now, my...
After getting my imagination run wild with a dream job, I started thinking about a dream vacation. If you could go anywhere in the world for some your-time, where would it be? A...
I've got tagged, so I post earlier than my usual four-days break between posts. The list of professions made me wonder when I decided I wanted to be a writer. When I was a...
I've got an R on my requested full. There are different of R's: the ones that praise you and ask you to submit something else, the ones with constructive criticism, and the...
I'm going to write in the five hours left before bed. I'll just check my e-mail first. And answer them, of course. And browse through my friends' blogs. So many great blogs so...
First of all, thank you to all who entered. I loved, loved, loved the titles. And did I say how much I loved them? I feel bad I have to choose and really don't want to offend...
"Love and envy rule the world." I think ancient Greeks said this. Okay, as we write romance we obviously agree that love rule the world. But envy? A person I know recently one...
No, it's not me winning. It's me running a small contest. I confess, I need a title. And my friend needs a name for her hero for a historical set in 1815, during Napoleonic...
I apologize to everyone who came to visit and didn't find new entries; my PC didn't feel well and didn't let me access Internet. Now I feel that it's easier to go 24 hours...
I didn't final in contest. I know, it's no biggie, and as a relative newbie I should be entering for critique and not hope to place. Unfortunately, I don't. I'm happy with the...
Dh, it's you, of course. Now let's get to fiction. Seriously, where we romance writers get our heroes from? Movies? Video clips? Magazines with those hunky models? Significant...
Don't get scared by the title; I just refer to the proverbial saying that to create the writer should open his/her vein and bleed on the paper (or in our cases, onto the...
When I started writing romance, I had no idea about some of unwritten laws of the pitfalls that make a book a hard sell. As a result, my first book broke not one but three of...
I probably break the rules of the journal as I don't post every day. But I check it daily several times, so no comments will go unnoticed and thanked for silently or in the...
Who of us didn't ask ourselves, and our poor significant others this question while looking in the mirror? But the problem is not what IS in the mirror but how we SEE it....
The first post is the hardest. As we mostly judge people by our first impressions, I want my first post to be brushed up, dressed up, and with a nice but not overdone smiley,...
