Best Seller Numbers
Well, I have yet to make a bestseller list... some day! (grin)... but I did run across this fantastic blog entry by Jessica Faust from BookEnds, LLC on understanding bestseller lists.
So... stop checking your Amazon numbers and go read this:

Who Wants to be a Superhero?
I do!
Seriously, I love this show.
From the time I was, oh... about 7, I wanted to be Wonder Woman.
My hubby and kids think I'm a little nutty, but those who love comic books, certainly understand :)
I think that's apropos to the reason I like to write Paranormals, of course. The ability to endow characters with super-human capabilities and to explore the basics of good vs evil comes from my comic book roots.
Superheroes rock!
Here's hoping Stan Lee has a 3rd series!

In the Midnight Hour
Sometimes, at 2 a.m. when I plug away at a chapter, I have a vague sense of alone-ness.
I wonder how many other late owl writers there are out there.
Are you also isolated in the vision of your characters, leaving the real time of the world behind as you type each word lovingly on the page in hopes of passing the story to a welcome audience.
Or is that just the lack of sleep clawing at my brain?

Coffee!
Coffee. Java. Jo. No matter what you call it, over 1/3rd of the world's population consumes it.
(Scary that I took the time to find that out. )
I love the stuff. Straight black for me. The aroma is intoxicating.
Do you stop to savor the experience? I used to gulp it down without much thought- other than I totally love the smell of a coffee house or walking in the kitchen right after a pot is brewed.
Now, I select a range of flavors to keep in my cupboard, use bottled water (yes, it does make a huge difference as to what water you use to brew!) and enjoy only one (sometimes two) cups a day.
It's one of my stolen pleasures- reliable, comforting, delicious, warm...bliss.
A dear friend of mine travels with her coffee maker. I totally love that!
We all need to keep our comforts close and take the time to treasure them.

Slow Going
Well, I've officially avoided writing for the past few weeks, with the exception of an article or two. Life just got in the way.
Not that I'm particularly sad about paying attention to life.
It's the constant struggle between being in the now or being in the writing. I find that writing keeps calling at the oddest times and I feel writer's guilt when I do not pay attention to that pesty muse?
Does everyone feel the constant pull?
I do know one thing though, I will not look back at the end of the journey and be sad that I paid attention to life :)
