Another day without a laptop or a computer… can you tell? Today, LilDude and I went hiking again. Our goal was to reduce his fear of “bugs” since the last time we hiked, he was running away from any “bug” that happened to cross his path be it a dragonfly or a butterfly. So IContinue reading “A Bit of Nature”

It’s Monday or Day 5 Without a Laptop…
Day 5 (or is it 6 because it feels like 6 or 60) without my laptop and I’m feeling the withdrawal symptoms already. Even though I can still type as fast on my wireless keyboard and write on my iPad since thank goodness, I have my trusty writing apps that work on both the MacbookContinue reading “It’s Monday or Day 5 Without a Laptop…”
Saturday Distractions
Day three of no laptop/computer and so far, I’m still… sane. Well, maybe I was a bit cranky last night but it helps to have an iPad and a few wireless keyboards to make sure you still hit that word count each day. Right now, I should be writing but it’s a steamy sex sceneContinue reading “Saturday Distractions”
Musings Over Coffee: When You’re Without Your Computer But You Need to Put Down the Words…
So my 2011 MacBook Pro fizzled the other night and it’s at the computer repair shop where they tell me it will probably be about five to seven days BEFORE they can even look at it since they’re backlogged. I could have taken it somewhere else but these same guys upgraded the hard drive toContinue reading “Musings Over Coffee: When You’re Without Your Computer But You Need to Put Down the Words…”
A New Week
This weekend has been crazy in the author world. It’s a miracle I got to write anything at all with everything going on, seeing friends’ books taken down, threatened with lawsuits, and feeling sick to my stomach (and my heart) at what was going on. Friendships lost, trust broken. People I thought were good peopleContinue reading “A New Week”
A Lazy Saturday
With spring in session, I really should get out more. Instead, today, I spent most of the day writing especially now that it seems like my writer’s block is over and I feel like I’m trying to make up for lost time. The words still don’t come out as easily but it’s coming and that’sContinue reading “A Lazy Saturday”
Things Will Get Better (and Other Musings)
That’s what I tell myself after this week’s many fiascos that have left me shaking my head. Hitting the wrong button to unpublish my latest release and then being unable to track down all the old links that go nowhere so I could update them. Getting 90% of my reviews of the latest release takenContinue reading “Things Will Get Better (and Other Musings)”
Rolling With the Punches
There’s nothing like a huge life lesson to teach you that sometimes things just happen and you have to roll with the punches. Between release week jitters, driving the crazy 405 to and from my South Bay office to see clients and back in time for my son’s parent-teacher conference that turned out to beContinue reading “Rolling With the Punches”
Done and Dusted… and a Heat Wave
Two weeks ago, we put away the portable air conditioner because, you know, fall is here. Or it’s supposed to be. Well, today the temps hit the three digits and tomorrow this is what we have in store for us living in Los Angeles. Yup, can you say hot? So today, without an A/C inContinue reading “Done and Dusted… and a Heat Wave”
Day Off
Today I took a day off from writing. I still sat in front of my laptop but this time I made graphics for a fellow author. I didn’t have to but I wanted to. It was my way of stepping away from the stories I’ve been writing but still creating something. I also read andContinue reading “Day Off”
