Eclipse. Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Chick flick with vampires AND werewolves! Awesomeness! Okay, I admit it. I'm a Twi-hard aka really into the Twilight books...and movies. I've read them all from Twilight to Breaking Dawn. And, I don't count the novella - The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - that's just a side story and totally written most likely to get more money out of the Twi-hards. Anyway, I

The Money Pit reminds me of my place. This is my shower in the last 24 hours: Dundadundun. Money Pit? Looks like. That's what happens when you have a leak in the pipes and the wall gets really soft and gushy and crumbly. Good times had by all. It could be worse, though. The ceiling could have fallen in as I was taking a shower! I wonder what's next? It's looking like the bedroom closet doors

Office Space is the epitome of my working life, so in this case, my life really is like the movie: I drive to work in the morning.... I get to my desk and turn on the computer... I have a cup of coffee... The flourescent lights... Bathroom break... Time goes too slow... I have lunch... Er, real lunch... Time ticks way too slowly....   More caffeine... Not quitting time yet....

I am reading "I'm Proud of You: Life Lessons Learned by My Friend Fred Rogers" by Tim Madigan and it chronicles his friendship with THE Mr. Rogers. On, page 49 of the book, Mr. Rogers has written Tim a letter and he writes about a day where he had trouble getting home because of a huge rainstorm that knocked down a bunch of trees and blocked the roads, so it took Mr. Rogers over an hour to drive

I should make a trailer for this book, Lightning, my favorite book by Dean Koontz. This one is dry. It's a good book, I swear!Inspiration can only help...on the road to your dreams.One of my favorite authors is Dean Koontz. I've liked him ever since I was a teenager and read Lightning. I am happy to see that he has a page dedicated to answering the aspiring writer's questions...about writing.

Dragging this morning? Play this.Ah, bright and early and 5 am. Still hard, yet easier. Much easier to hit the snooze too. So, to wake up with coffee, I searched "wake up song." All serious songs.

Book trailers are the new wave in selling books. They've progressed since the 80s, when it was mostly just a cover and a read my book by a really famous author. Booooring. They're FINALLY going the way of movie trailers....and you can find them all over youtube. So, I did a search - of some of my favorite authors and then started surfing.

I put the words "Saturday Song" into you tube...just wanting to find a fun Saturday song....as in "Yay! It's Saturday", but I found this one first and I kinda like it. It's a melancholy love song, but I actually sat and listened to the whole thing - a mark of a good youtube song. It's called On A Saturday Night (11:27) sung by Jordan McCoy. She has a really pretty voice.I'm all about finding the

Buffy is still cool. She even gets to fight Edward Cullen.Buffy the Vampire Slayer is still one of my all-time favorite television series, so I've been a fan of Joss Whedon for a long time. When I read his open letter to the Terminator Owners, I laughed, but then again, I'd be super excited if he did end up owning the franchise.Hahahaha - Here's what Joss had to say:http://whedonesque.com/

Mmmmmmmm, coffee.I <3 coffee. Mostly because I need it to wake up...and stay awake and alert. Particularly when I'm trying to focus on writing (or work) and I'm feeling exhausted. Yes, caffeine addiction. I totally realize this. And, I do like Starbucks coffee, but lately something bothers me about Starbucks (and, most other coffee places, but since I visit Starbucks most, they get the brunt of

This is how I feel at 5 am.New habits are hard to start. My latest is one I tried before and gave up on. The 5 am wake-up call, followed by 2 hours of writing. Supposedly, you have to do something 30-40 times to make it a habit. That means over a month of this before it's easier...at least in theory.5 am.It was harder to get up the 2nd day. We'll see about the 3rd. It's going to be a habit this
