So the cord on my laptop (AC Adapter) went out, again. And I spent a couple of days with severely limited internet access while I waited for the new one to come. And you know what? I did a lot of reading. And I liked it. In all the writing I do, I haven’t been reading as much. And I’ve missed it! So now I’ve fully decided to fit reading into my daily schedule.
Now let me tell you about the fabulous book I just finished reading. Flirting with Forty by Jane Porter. Jane’s one of our local chapter members and a total sweetheart. She really does a lot for our chapter. And this book is fantastic. Probably the best of hers I’ve read. It’s a roller coaster of emotions, and really reached in and grabbed my heart. If you haven’t read it yet… *jerking chin* Dooo it. And, wow, what a fantabulous cover, huh? The cover Gods blessed her on this one! And on The Frog Prince too, actually. :)
The next book I’m currently reading now is Spying in High Heels, and Lordy, that’s cracking me up!
I’ve also started writing another Valentine’s day story that I got suckered into (Thanks Dayna!) and it’ s a little different. I’m writing a heroine totally unlike one I’ve ever done. It’s a short story. I’m aiming for funny and hot. Standard me. I should really try a horror novel sometime. I’m proud though, with write offs with the girls at night, I’m hitting 1k a day routinely.
And lastly, I’ve started my own yahoo group to use as a newsletter. The Novelty Girls also have a newsletter, but we’ll be sending that out quarterly or bi-quarterly. But since my life as a writer is constantly changing, and I’m always holding a contest, I want to be able to share my news monthly. So if you’re interested, here’s the little link to sign up.
Have a happy hump day! That’s such a dirty word… and speaking of dirty….
OMG!!!!!! I’m totally stealing that cartoon!!!!!!!!
That comic is sacriligious!! ;))
(did I spell that wrong?)
I love those times where I can just read. I’m working on the other stories in the Studs R Us anthology right now.
Love that cartoon! Literally made me giggle out loud!!!! :)
I know what you mean about the reading thing. I’ve been doing more of that myself. I neglect it when I’m writing too much, so it’s extra enjoyable when I DO read.

Oh, I ALMOST used that one! :D You and I are pulling from the same source, I think. You have great taste, Shelli.
I have this book and it is on my TBR stack! I can’t wait to read it. The cover is fantastic to. Have fun reading and hope you get the laptop fixed soon. I wish I had more time to read too. I’m going to start treating myself to a good book as a reward for goals I set and meet.
