Not exactly a poetry reading

So last night I went to support some writing friends. Lauren Dane, Lacy Danes, Susan Lyons, Bonnie Edwards, Celia May Hart all did a reading/signing at Babeland in Seattle. It was a lot of fun, although I realized I’m pretty immune to sex scenes now. I don’t think I even blushed once as they read aloud some seriously hot stuff. There was a great turn out and I even bought a few books. I would have bought all of them, but at like $12-$15 a pop, it’s just not realistic. Afterwards I had dinner with my friend Jacquie Rogers who won a Pearl recently, and just got nominated for a Rio!

This positive thinking has been great. I’ve already noticed the effects it has had on the way I’ve begun to think about my current book. I can’t wait to send it out. I think this puppy is pretty darn good and really has a chance. So I’ve expanded this positive thinking beyond my writing. I’m using it with everyday life. Instead of thinking I’ll never date again, I’ve started to think yes I will. And I’ll do it with confidence! *Grin* Though I couldn’t possibly think about dating yet, life is too crazy and I’d rather have a writing career than a love life right now.

You know, now that I put that ticker clock–count down until RWA–on my blog (not everyday, I figure I’ll put it up once a week since it’s so darn big) I started to realize it’s really not that far away. At all! Like under 4 months. It seems like just yesterday I thought I had all this time to lose a sh*tload of weight. That I could write another single title to pitch. And I blink, and it’s mid March. I have to save money to shop for clothes, which I’m delaying buying in case I lose weight. WAIT! Scratch that. I will lose weight (positive thinking!) And, seriously, buy your formal dress for the awards night in mid June. Prom is over and formals are all on sale :) I am a sucker for a good sale!

K off to lunch with grams. Ciao for now. I’ll be doing the Thursday 13 tomorrow, my second one! Hopefully more of a success now that I know how it works *Grin*

    Oh, man I am seriously freaking about having to read my sex scenes outloud.

    Good for you on the positive thinking, and I’m thinking good thoughts for you too.

    I can barely write the sex scenes. . . let alone read them out loud! Yikes!

    Love the cartoon!

    I can write them… I don’t know about read them out loud! But I give kudos to anyone who can!
