novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing

Today's blog is going to be about something that I think we all need more of in our lives: laughter. Being trapped, err..closed maybe, in my den for eight hours a day with a 12 week old kitten (who is teething now) has tended to bring a lot of that rare commodity into my life. After all, there's nothing quite like a hyper, gangly little ball of fur to make you smile. I call him my hyper jalapeno, because he reminds me of a mexican jumping bean on speed. I think with the writing business and the economy the way it is, that it's far too easy to become far too serious. We're concerned about money. We're concerned about finding the right publisher, or a publisher. We want to market and promote. We need to think about the next book and the moves we're going to make two or three books from now. It can get quite taxing (especially this time of year, pardon the way bad pun!). I think we need more laughter. Whether it's an obsession with GI Joes that borders on unhealthy (haha!), a kitten, or just a good sense of humor, anything that lightens the mood can feed the muse. I know I always feel refreshed and ready to work after spending some time in the barn or with the kitten. Even rearranging my GI Joes on my shelf sparked the muse a bit this weekend. Smile! Your muse will thank you! |
