What Should You Write?

The Twilight Zone strikes again.

I took this quiz several times and it kept coming up the same. (Okay, that’s a lie. The first time it said Horror. EGAD! I had to reexamine my answers). I guess I should be relieved since I write RS, but here’s the kicker: I don’t write mysteries. I write suspense, and nine times out of ten, the reader “knows” who the bad guy is. So I’m guessing this doesn’t work. And besides, where’s the romance?

The Agony

I have a housekeeper.

Um…well, I wish. Actually, I have a cleaning service that comes in once a month. And let me tell you, it isn’t enough. The DH, in his infinite wisdom, realized after we had gremlin #3 that the odds of having a clean house and a sane-writing-wife were pretty slim if he didn’t hire me some help. Hence, the cleaning service. And they’re fabulous. They just aren’t here enough. Twice a month would be wonderful. Four times a month would be heaven. But until I make some sales, I live with once a month.

So…today was my … Read more »

Yahoo…Take Me Away

You know what I love most about writing? You get to go places you never expected to go. I spent the afternoon researching the new book while waiting for my slooooow printer to kick out pages. And if you haven’t already figured it out, let me fill you in on a little secret: The internet is a writer’s best friend. You can go anywhere on the net, and I don’t just mean from site to site, I mean from one exotic location to another. Forget the high cost of fuel. You don’t need that airline ticket anymore. With a quick … Read more »

There Are Days…

…when I just want to lock myself in the bathroom and veg out the whole day long. Today is one of those days.

I won’t bore you with the day to day struggles of being a writing SAHM, but I am going to give you a glimpse at the reason I often feel like screaming and running away.

Today I had to mail a submission. Okay, it was a re-submission, but I won’t go into that. Suffice it to say, I spent all morning printing and reworking my cover letter, getting the whole thing packaged up and ready to go. … Read more »
