Hope all of you have a wonderful Easter!

What greater news could we receive other than HE IS RISEN?

I certainly can't think of any.

On a different note, to the left the trail where Kaleb and Josie walk to the bluff.

Although this photo was taken in the fall and the setting is summer.

What are some of your favorite places to walk to go when you need some quiet?

For my friends

2008-03-15T21:41:00.000-07:00

So many times in the past 2 years I've been close to quitting my pursuit of publication. I just wanted to thank my friends for supporting me and believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself. And if I don't make it to publication--it's okay. I believe in myself now, because you guys believed in me.

This song is for you!

Tell me, if I come do i ever get to go?
Or will you just break down and cry
God bless your soul
When everbody sees we're growing cold
But you don't know
That lately, i've been unable to hold down all the air
And i know i always swore i'd never swear
But i'm growing so damn tired of getting old
And getting cold, God bless my soul

All my friends are telling me
Everything that i could be
And i just smile, but secretly
I think i'm starting to believe
I'm gonna make it out of here

Give me intoxication over sobriety
Give me proof of everything that you believe
I really don't appreciate you preaching to me
Can't you see?
Oh, you'll see that i'm more that just a waste of given space
Or a rejection of your offer of some grace
Cause i know that there's a time and there's a place for me
And i can see

That all my friends are telling me
Everything that i should be
So i just smile, but secretly
I know i'm starting to believe
I'm gonna make it out of here

Girl i swear to you i'll never let them tear my soul out
Try as though they may they'll surely fail without a doubt
Looking back we'll wonder what we were so sad about
The best days of our lives pass by before we figure out

That all my friends believe in me
And everything i'm gonna be
So we just smile, and we start to sing
To anyone and everything
We're gonna make it out
We're gonna make it out
We're gonna make it out
Oh, we've gotta make it out of here

Full request!

After reading the first 50 pages, the agent requested the full!

I'm slinking into the editing cave and will be there a while. Everyone have a great weekend!

This is a picture close to where I live. The weathering has caused the cedars to entwine.

It's also the setting for a scene in my book.

Daylight Savings is a Bust

2008-03-13T19:28:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you, but I don't like Daylight Savings Time. Getting out of bed when it's still dark outside is an almost impossible task for me. My hubby has to call on me several times to get out of bed in the mornings and I found I was highly irritable at work.

Ugh.

What are things that bother you?

What I'm reading...

2008-03-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

What am I reading now?

TADA! It's Prom Dates from Hell by Rosemary Clement Moore

I didn't think I'd like it. Don't ask me why. I didn't think I'd like it for absolutely no good reason...but it's a fantastic story!

LOVING it so far. If you haven't read it, pick up a copy and see how it's done.

Ahem.

What are you reading?

Post Number One

Today was a good day.

I sent off my agent request for Time After Time :) Here's to wonderful things happening to wonderful characters!

Call me paranoid, call me crazy, call me anything you like, but until contracted I don't give away my story premise. Maybe that's because I think in 'high-concept.' It all goes back to my first writer's meeting where I proudly told everyone at the table (forgetting that they were writers as well) my story ideas. Thankfully, a lady pulled me aside and whispered, "Hon, never do that. Someone can write that high-concept idea bigger than you, faster than you, and better than you."

Hmm...I'd never thought of it that way. My bubble was popped to believe that all writers were automatically good people and that was stealing and no one would steal, surely!
Ahem. Maybe I was green. Maybe now I'm hyperparanoid. Either way, my high concept idea will remain mine until I can share it with the readers.

But I can share with you a picture of my hero. You've probably seen him before. Shia is perfect for Kaleb. He's witty, emotional, and nice looking. *waggles brows*

p.s. Thanks so much to my friend Shonna for making this template! She's one of my critique partners and I told her to make it like my writing. wow! I'm scary! LOL I love it! Thanks, hon.
