18 & Over Book Blogger Follow #29

Missed last week because I was out of town. But here's this week's...









 
18 & Over Book Blogger Follow is a weekly feature that begins on Fridays and runs through the weekend, hosted by Crystal from Reading Between the Wines. This is a Friday blog hop with the objective to find and visit other book blogs that share the same interest as you, namely books geared towards the 18 & over crowd, and make some new friends!
 

So I'm a little late. Again! But better late than never! :)



Question of the Week: What are you currently? Do you love it? Is it a new-to-you author or an old favorite? Tell us all about it! 







 

Just finished Cara Elliott's "Too Tempting Too Resist"! I'll have a review up, shortly. :) Ms Elliot is definitely not a new author to me, and I think she's already made the list of "old favorites". 


I'd talk about it, here but I already have a review up! So don't forget to stop by and take a peek at my thoughts on Cara Elliott's second installment of her Lords of Midnight series!


Starting a new book in a day or two. Can't wait! More news on that, later!








So let me know!


What are *you* reading, right now? How's it going so far?

Turning Words into People

Writing people is really difficult.

I write descriptions really well. I like to think I have pretty good dialogue.

In fact, the writing bit is simple.

The hardest part?

"Who are these people?"

Vacation from the Vacation

Back from my vacation. Actually, I've been back for a few days. I've just spent the last few days sleeping.

It got me wondering: how do Twenty-Somethings function on so little sleep?!




Seriously. I spent the time with my twenty-something siblings and they partied hard. They are also back to work only slightly more tired than normal.

What happened to me? One weekend where I stay up late and I'm DONE IN. Exhausted. Fatigued! Tuckered out!

I'm bushed!

What happened that took so much of my energy?

When did this happen?

Was it this?

Maybe it was this?













Actually, I think it might have been something like this..........

But I'm surviving. Sort of.

My job is slacking, my writing is way behind, but the dishes are almost done and the house is only somewhat messy, right now. So I call that a success!!

Yay! Go team!

But I'm back and hopefully going to be writing soon. Blogging, too.

Just as soon as I get over being jealous of my younger siblings. Jealousy is such a silly thing, anyway. They stress about stuff and work hard, too!

I'm just wallowing in my own exhaustion. :)

At any rate!

I'm going to try to come up with something evocative to post about. Suggestions totally welcome.

I'm also trying to push the "Author Interview" route, a bit. So if you're interested, click that huge "Contact Me" button to the right and let's get to chattin'!

T'care, folks, and thanks, as always, for stopping by!

Again... suggestions welcome!

Encouraged!!

Graciously accepted and requested...

:D

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Well, my dear readers, the nigh impossible has occurred and I am going out of town.

Vacation, you ask?

Eh.. sort of. :p

I'm very nervous: it's been over six years since I was away from my children for longer than 24 hours. Pheewww... I can do this!

Anywho. I'll be around occasionally, but likely no posts and my Tweets will be low. ;)

See you real soon!

Publishing: A New Era

I'm interested in what folks think about publishing options, these days! There are so many to choose from:

Traditional publishing
Traditional publishing house with online imprints
eBook with POD (Print On Demand)
Self or Indie Publishing


So I want to see what ya'll have to say. When I get the total survey, I'm going to write up the answers and what I think about them.

So give it a quick shot!

Thanks, folks!!
