Late last night or early this morning depending on your perspective, I typed the last word in the Complete Idiots Guide to Business Law. Yahoo!!!!! This morning I’m reading the last five and editign before emailing them to my editors — 15 days before deadline! YAHOOOOOOOO! Nothing like two more deadlines staring me in the face to keep me moving …
Too Many Books?
Is there such a thing as too many books? Oh, I hope not. But as I stare at the piles of books that literally surround me on my desk, I have to wonder. I collect books like some people collect movies, dates, or experiences. And at the rate I collect them, I’ll never catch up. Especially if I keep doing …
And the winners are:
The winner of the That’s (not exactly) Amore contest is Janna Ryan. And y’all convinced me that we needed to give away the full series. How could I even suggest one book when the series was an option 🙂 And the winners of the Olympics contest are Lindsey and Ane Mulligan. If a few more people enter before the closing …

Be sure to click through and leave a comment there for a chance to win one of the three sets. So in addition to the That’s (not exactly) Amore giveaway …
Women’s Gymnastics
Wow! What a night. What a heartbreaker, but what performances. I love women’s gymnastics and my heart broke for Alicia Sacramone when she fell. She takes the blame for a silver — good night, people — we got a SILVER !!!! but for any of you tempted to let her take the blame, you’ve got to watch this piece by …
Yikes!
So yesterday morning I was feeling pretty good. I’ve gotten some good writing chunks in, feeling on track. I know what I have to write each week to hit my deadlines, and pretty much hit them the first week. No sense of panic. Just a sense of deliberate “have to run this race to the end” kind of feeling. I …
