Erotic Cyn for your senses

One of my writing buddies gave me the URL to a fantastic article dealing with editing and how professional writers should handle edits. It’s snarky, it’s fun and most importantly, it’s a good reminder to get things done when you’re supposed to. It’s definitely going to be bookmarked for future reference just to keep my hate of editing at a minimum. My reason for not liking editing isn’t because I think I’m better than that- it’s because I’m usually in a new story and I don’t wanna go back to a story that I know so well already. To my mind it’s done and over with. *sigh* But this, might just keep me laughing through edits.

I received a rejection this week from publisher I really would like to work with. In fact, I was on the borderline of wondering– would this be my way in or be a rejection–and I was prepared either way. But this rejection didn’t hurt. In fact, this rejection made my day. Why? More »

I’m on vacation this week. More importantly, I’m working on my writing. That’s important to me and something that’s been lacking for a while. This is day 3 of my vacation and the first day I spent just hanging out and doing fun things while packing to take myself to the male’s house. Yes, I’m spending my week with my male. It’s good for me, and for him. (Though he might deny it. LMAO) More »

      Fiction writing is an expression of our wants, needs and a reflection of society – past, present, future. Many people say they have great story ideas, they just don’t have the time to write them. Most failed fiction writers fall into this category. But you want to be different – not only do you want to write – you want to be published. For this article, I talked with some of my author friends and editors for their suggestions as well. Luckily, Nikita Gordyn offered some suggestions and wrote them down for me, instead of having me remember them. LOL More »

Finally….I’ve gotten done the next round of edits on my next release, Twin Flames of Imbolc, with fellow author–and best friend– Sharyn Tregarth. YAY! It was tough, but dammit, I’m glad. The story isn’t super long, but it’s indepth and it’s forced she and I to make some fundamental decisions about the Twins.  In this story, we touch base with my Marauders, the Fey, the pantheonic realms, the Djinn and more. It’s a story that truly links a lot of my worlds together as well as some of hers. But at the heart is the Twins, two of my favourite heroines of all time. They’re us and they’re not. They’re what we are in spirit, but at the same time they have flaws I’d not want ever. But they’re good peoples.

Having got this one done– it means Ride Me, Baby is up on the list next. That’ll make my publisher proud and it’ll be great since no one has ever seen this novel in its entirety except a couple of people. Bwahahaha! It’s my tribute to Harley Davidson and to motorcycles in general. LOVE motorcycles and the idea behind this is all Nancy Warren’s fault. LOLOL

Now it’s time for either a nap or at least some television watching. My head is swimming and this rapid weather change has me feeling crappy. Don’t tell my male. He’ll get angry at me. *sigh*
