WIP#1 of 2012

I missed my desired deadline but I have completed my first WIP of 2012, entitled Virgin Unbound, a story about a virginal bookworm and her hunky professor. I am off to a good start! Here a few images I found on the internet that resemble the images in my head that inspired me to write the story...

Ergonomic Sweetness

My husband is a sweetheart. A conversation about ergonomics brought up the realization that a new desk and or chair would make my life better and maybe even increase my productivity. So off to Office Max we went. And lo and behold, a sweet desk and chair were found! I haz a huge happy. :)

The new desk is a Z-line Zentra glass and metal thing of beauty.

 And the chair is a Serta. Sweet!

Nothing better than sushi on your birthday.

Man Titty Overload

I mentioned my hard drive crash to Scarlett Parrish on Twitter (@scarlettparrish) and she generously offered me a bunch of pics of James Purefoy from her personal collection. So kind! :) And the way she put it was hilarious.

"I just flooded your e-mailhole with pics of ovulation-inducing James Purefoy."

Thanks, sweetie!

Then when I said, "To hell with shitty BDSM." She complimented me and said, "That was the best tweet of the night."

Heehee!
Here's a link to Scarlett's pages...

And I got me two cool desktop things. A stiletto tape dispenser and a pink heart-shaped Post-It note dispenser.

My First Interview

A Twitter pal, Sabrina Foreman, asked if she could interview me for her beautiful blog. I said "Hellz yeah!" or something equally as enthusiastic and if you want to check it out, please do. I had a good time answering her questions and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Submission Pt. 1

I finally did it.

Believe it or not, I completed my Sci-Fi erotica novel Kalynth Sun.

I failed in my attempt to complete my novel via NanoWriMo but the damned little group had a purpose--it jarred me into action. I started writing and organizing and planning and thinking. Amazing things happened. I wrote without worry. I laughed and liked a lot of it. Is this the flow? After a couple of weeks, I had a story with a heroine, a conflict, a hero and a villain. I submitted it today and felt total terror as I did so. I spent a few hours in a quasi-state of paralytic shock then snapped out of it and began writing something else. Moving on!

I realize only now that the word 'submission' is very appropriate. I submit to the Fates whether or not my story is to this e-publisher's liking. I have never been this close to my little chunk of The Dream before. Will it break off in my hand and crumble to dust and fall through my fingers in the wind? Will it hold and enable me to get another good grip and pull myself up even higher?

I guess all that remains to be seen. I'll know May 21st. That's 120 days. That little worm in my head named Curiosity has 120 days to wriggle it's way to the forefront of my brain.
