I’m very into my nails. When I was styling hair I wore acrylic nails because having my hands in water weakened my natural nails and caused them to split. So false nails was the solution. Every two weeks, I was in the nail salon chatting away with my nail tech Kim, as she drilled away [...] I’m on Revision three. No exclamation points here, I am seriously considering doing a MAJOR rewrite to the first 100 pages. I’ll give you guys more information on that tomorrow. Now that I’m 32 I can definitely see the changes in my body. The weight doesn’t come off as easy, (something that I [...] I have never been part of the cool crowd. In high school I considered myself a popular nerd, because among the geeks I was pretty popular. That being said, I look at all the commercials for the iPad and I wonder, am I cool enough to own this thing? My over-loaded bookshelves suggests that it’s [...] So I talked about this on Facebook a few days ago, the fact that I save things for special occasions. For example, about a year ago, I bought new silk throw pillows for my sofas. I could only imagine my daughter’s sticky hands getting on them, or the marker stain that my daughter would whine [...] On Chapter Four of revisions. Just Chapter Four? Well, I had to rewrite two chapters so I think that’s pretty good, doggone it! Okay, sorry for the tone, I plan to make up for it tomorrow. Butt in chair+laptop and typing=writing done. Oh, and I haven’t forgotten about your Unbeweavable stories! Thanks to all of [...] At 51,839 words. Feel like this book has turned into a donkey that I keep beating, trying to get it to submit to my will. But just like a donkey, my novel just sits there, looking at me with vacant eyes as if saying, “Is this all you’ve got?”
Watching the Oscars Sunday [...] At 47,819 on my WIP. Haven’t written much in the past week, will try to stick to my schedule. How funny is it that the girl who wrote Six O’clock, the girl who was told that the she could hoola-hoop through a Cheerio, the girl who was told that she would have to [...] Doesn’t Monique just glow in this picture? Her speech for her Golden Globe win set the tone for the evening, and showed everyone that there are many sides to her. (My favorite part? When she said, "I’m shaking when I tell y’all I’m in the midst of my dream. Just beautiful!) I used to [...] I’ve always enjoyed eating snacks rather than sitting down to eat an entire meal. Nothing heavy—popcorn, nuts, granola bars, the occasional chip. But I find as I’m getting older, that I’ve been eating an entire meal and snacking. So of course, I’ve gained weight. Nothing terrible, I’m still skinny enough that when I mention that [...] By that, I mean trends. Some of the trends that I hope die and do not live in 2010 is: Half-shaved heads. Who in their right mind would ever think this is pretty? Shredded or torn leggings. Remember the good ‘ole days when we threw out our stockings if they had a [...] |
I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
