Every once in a great while I find a song that really speaks to me. It might have something to do with things I'm going through, or it just bonds with whatever it is I'm writing. This song is the latter. The feeling of it, that swirling movement just feels like it needs to be part of EXISTENCE. So here it is, Young Blood by The Naked and Famous. What song fit's your current MS? *** P.S. I started editing and I am loving it!

I hope you all had a great Christmas! I know many of you are still on a blogging break, but I wanted to let you know that on Friday (the 30th) the Life List club is doing another mass blog giveaway! I am giving away two copies of the TOTALLY CLICHE anthology which features my Short story, THE PROMISE OF WAR. Here's a little synopsis if you haven't heard about it yet - Beth isn't your average Princess -- she's never been dressed up or fed with a silver spoon, but that's what happens when your country is ravaged by war. In an attempt to save her father and her kingdom she is marrying Prince Clayton, the only man with an army big enough to stop their enemies.One thing keeps her from the wedding that will bring peace, the wish of true love. See you Friday!

Today is the final day of the ' Wrap it up' Blogfest and it also a life list Friday. So I asked the lovely Pam Hawley to write something to go along with the blogfest theme and she didn't disappoint!  In case your wondering where I am, I'll be talking about some of my favortie Christmas books at Jess Witkin's blog. Take it away Pam! Last fall, my Grandmom was approaching her 80 th birthday.I wanted to give her something unique and special, but I was truly stumped. Shesolved my problem one evening when I showed up at her house with carryout fromher favorite local restaurant. Forget about subtle hints. Once you hit 80, you’ve lost allreservations about telling people exactly what you want them to do. So as weenjoyed our pasta and salad, Grandmom solved my birthday dilemma. “I want you to write me a story about the Junebug,” she said. A bit of background - when I was a kid, I spent a lot of myweekends traveling from Baltimore to West Virginia with mygrandparents. Th...

It's day four of the ' Wrap it up' Blogfest and today I wanted to give something to my husband. I've written him a letter here before (and I plan on doing something more personal for him for Christmas) so I thought I would post a song that described our relationship. Only, I can't pick just one. So here are three love songs for your enjoyment. Each one holds a piece of something that I LOVE about my husband. Hope you like it ^_^ What's your favorite love song?

I crack open the book and run my hand down the page. Thecontrast of the black words on the ivory colored background fill me with asense of excitement and longing. I bring the book to my face and close my eyestaking a deep whiff. Someday , I tellmyself, someday I will be holding my ownbook in my hands . I read a few pages and ponder on the wonder of the waywords can be strung together to create masterpieces. I close the book and holdit close to my chest for a few moments. How many have gone before me? Millions at least. There aredays when I think about the numbers, when I get overwhelmed at the thought ofeverything I have to go through to get my book into my hands. I am determinedthat t...
