The cup runneth empty

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Well, crap. The brain cell in charge of blogging is apparently still sleeping, because I’ve got nothing today.
I’ve been thinking about yesterday’s post and how I managed to “internalize” rewrite Mel’s opening in my comments and what Mel said in response and about Jodi Picoult’s books, but those thoughts haven’t yet fermented into an [...]

Cop-out

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

This is from a comment left on HelenKay’s blog in response to…well, you know what. I don’t want people landing here via Google because I could really give a damn about whether the rabid people think the wunderkind’s a good person or not.
…it’s unfair to say that she “plaigarized” when she’s merely internalized [...]

Believe the Magic!

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Mel has a new release today! Believe the Magic is now available from Samhain Publishing! :woot:
Magic, humor, heat…what more could you want!

When the strange antique dealer bestows Ella Mansfield with a weird necklace, proclaiming it magic, Ella refuses to believe. Why would she have a use for such a thing?
But she [...]

Conversation with Grace…

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

…from 72 Hours:
Grace: Hey! Put that line back. It’s one of my favorites.
Shan: You don’t need lines just to prove how witty you are.
Grace: So I should be unwitty…oh, you read that damn review again, didn’t you?
Shan: *shrugs*
Grace: You know better than that, you dumbass. You read it, [...]

Spring break time

Monday, April 24th, 2006

No, not the wicked fun in the sun on the beach kind. But the “let’s give the kids a week off because it’s starting to get warm and the teachers can’t cope with the energy level right now” kind.
Of course it’s cold and raining right now.
School vacations are a double-edged sword for me. [...]

PS—She went smilie happy, so go run amok amongst her new additions.

Books I can see

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

In need of some stress-free fun, I totally robbed this from Kate.
THIRTEEN BOOKS I CAN SEE FROM WHERE I’M SITTING:
Oh, uh-oh. I’m on the couch in the living room. There are about a gazillion books in my den, which is around the corner and out of site. There’s also a [...]

Today's post…

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

…can be found at RTB!
Late afternoon edit: You would think after five years online I’d freakin’ know better. Kiss the rest of the kids’ Easter candy goodbye.

Good news!!!

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Twice Upon A Roadtrip is a finalist in the contemporary category of Passionate Ink’s Passionate Plume contest!
What a way to start off a new week!
In other news, spring has now sprung for good, and I’ve been tinkering in the garden. My Mustang’s coming out tomorrow. The tall child got his (used) new [...]

A little milestone

Friday, April 14th, 2006

The Easter Bunny’s pretty straight out right now, what with gazillions of eggs to prepare for hiding and all, so he gave me the list of books my children requested of him and sent me to Borders.
Of course I had to detour through the romance and see if Forever Again was there. Just a [...]
