Nocturnal Journal

Used to have it. Have since lost it. I don’t know what’s going on in my mind. Aside from the normal spookables and random flashes of hot, sweaty, naked buff guys that are all too willing to please me, I can now add the inability to focus to my list. That’s right. For three days straight I have not been able to set my mind on something and keep it there for longer than a few seconds.

Help.

Me.

Focus.

Please

^ that is my version of an SOS.

R.I.P.

My purple friend.You will be missed. That’s all I have to say about that. I’ll be in mourning if anyone needs me.

The song game is going so well the Happy Hour Blog that I thought I’d go ahead and start a sister game/contest over here! This one will be about book titles. A little harder to play, I know but still fun.

Same rules apply: YOU MUST follow off the person who posts ahead of you. You can play as much as you want. Each time you answer you’re entered in the contest. I force my DH to draw names from a bowl so you’re chances are better the more you enter.

How to play: I will give a book title. You must play off that title…pick a word from it, or list a book by same author, to keep the game going.

Example: A World Of Baby Names by Teresa Norman (don’t laugh, I’m staring at it so I used it) Someone could then come along and post Baby Names by Lansky. FOR THE LOVE OF KEEPING ME FROM FALLING ASLEEP PLEASE do NOT use non-fiction the entire time or I’ll poke my eyes out.

To help this out…I’m willing to let people use character names, jobs, other story links, vampires, weres…and so on. I read and enjoy a wide variety of authors and know that you do as well. Let’s have fun with this! Every now and then I’ll come along and post a NEW title that will RESTART the game or keep it going.

I’ll announce the winner of a PDF copy of Project Exorcism: PARANORMAL PAYLOAD mid-week.

Here’s the first title to get you started with:

Wicked Lucidity by Mandy M. Roth (hmm, yeah, wipe the look off your face it’s may damn contest. Mmuuwwhhhaaa) *snort*

Men in kilts. Now, I never thought I’d be one to find guys in them sexy but I was wrong. I’m cleaning up an older MS that the hero is from the Scottish Highlands. Mmm. That’s all I have to say about that.

I was surfing the web for tartans and found this pic. I thought it was sort of fitting for someone such as myself. Look, it’s a Scottish I-Op! Ooo, that's an idea. *wink, wink*

Dark Musings….

Two times in the last twenty-four hours I’ve been busily typing scenes in my current WIP. Each time I was at a dark, violent part, somebody is getting tortured or maimed in some gruesome way, my yahoo IM pops up. In both instances, I damn near threw my laptop and went running the other way. Either I’m a chicken shit or I was in a dark place. My gut tells me it’s the second one but I’m on the verge of PMSing so gut reactions need to be taken with a daily does of salt.

Opinions…

Are indeed like assholes. Everyone has one. Some are clean and fresh. Others are rank with pilnworms. (Get a mental image? I did so you know yahoo IM will pop up now.) It seems to me that the further I get in the stages of writing the more opinions I receive about the things I decide to write about. I think that anyone who reads my blog, visits my site, reads my books and/or knows me outside of writing understands that I am a far cry from politically correct.

That being said, I don’t think it comes as any surprise when I say to those who have such heavy needs to express themselves, don't forget to wipe (note pic above) on your way out.
