Hello all! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend. I’m over at Lacy Danes right now, we’re both on our laptaps writing and drinking espresso, and thought I’d take a second to blog.
First, I have to share my favorite new ‘writer’s tool’. The Romance Divas chat room. Usually sometime during the day and at night, there are people in there doing writing challenges. Generally, you’re all chatting. Then someone says okay we’re starting. Then for 20 minutes you just write. After the time is up, the time keeper cracks the whip (literally, there’s a whip cracking sound) and we all check in and say how many words we typed. Then we chat for a few minutes before starting again. This has been working fabulous for me, since rarely am I as organized when I try and chat/write while on yahoo messenger. And I need my daily chatting fix. Just yesterday, while doing this, I wrote 3k! I tripled my daily goal in just a couple of hours. So really, if you’re a Diva, check it out some time. And if you’re not a Diva, Sign up!
Also, I got my first review in for Love for Sale and I’m thrilled! 5 hearts from The Romance Studio. Thanks to Brenda Talley for a review that made my day!
“Shelli Stevens has written a really cute, sometimes comical, often sensual story that actually screams “READ ME!” There is absolutely so much action in this quick read that you cannot possibly dislike it. Ms. Stevens has taken an endearing plot and just surpassed expectations! And the ending—what a surprise! Kudos to this author!” 5 hearts, Brenda Talley, The Romance Studio.
I’m jealous! I want to go write with somebody for a while!
And PLEASE tell me you’re joking about that swan dress. No woman would really wear that to the Oscars…would she?
I love watching the dresses at the Oscars!
Congrats on a great review!
I’m having trouble getting into the RD chatroom. Sucks, because I’d love to do one of those word wars.
I love Kate’s body there. I wish more females in Hollywood would bring the female body back into style.
Congrats on the awesome review!
What a wonderful review! Congratulations. :) I love Kate Winslet, she’s so beautiful. Don’t you think?
Great review! Congrats!
Hope you enjoyed the show. . . I was writing, writing, writing. . . can’t beat your 3K tho’. Good job!
Robin: No, that’s Bjork (sp?) and yes, she really wore a swan!
Amanda: I hear other people have been having trouble too. That sucks because it’s so prolific!
Isabella & Aura: I loved her dress that year and think she is gorgeous. I love her curves.
Jill: I’m thrilled you dropped by. Thank you!
Pam: Thanks! And the show was fun but a little on the boring side this time I thought.
LOL! What clothing memories! ;-)
Congrats on a very cool review!
Happy writing,
Paz
I loved that Kate Winlset dress and will never forget bjork and her swan. This year I loved Penelope Cruz, Helen Mirren and Portia DeRossi. :)
Yay the divas writing challenge is the best! I can’t believe how much it helps my word count…
Bjork and the swan dress! That was so insane. I can’t believe she did that…
