Seattle observations

I just returned from a four day vacation in Seattle. Since it’s about time for me to post my weekly blog, I figured I’d let you all know what I learned about the “Emerald city” during my four days: 1. Seattle is sometimes referred to as the Emerald City. Not sure why, but will look it up before I…

pop culture in novels

Fact:  I am somewhat of a television junkie.  I can make a television reference to almost any real-life situation.  For instance, I’m headed out to Seattle soon and told a friend I was going to hunt down McDreamy and McSteamy (from the television series, Grey’s Anatomy).  If I sneeze in front of my sister, Marjorie, I’ll fake concern that the sniffles mean I’ll…

That time of the week!

It’s that time of the week!  For writing a blog, of course.  Thankfully, that other thing only comes once a month 🙂 I’m hiding out in my boss’s office while he’s out to lunch.  I’m eating a really good salad from Hale & Hearty.  It has tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms (my friend Abbe just winced.  She…

But between working full time as a paralegal, revising my second novel, writing guest blogs for other blogger’s websites, dating someone new, judging a writing contest, trying to maintain a social life, eating, sleeping and general personal hygiene, I just didn’t have the time.…

get fat, get lost?

This post might be a bit controversial and while I hope some of you will agree with me, I’m sure some of you won’t. It’s just my personal opinion.  There was a segment on The Today Show yesterday about a survey conducted of men and whether they’d leave their wives if they gained a lot of…

Type Schmype!

The main character in my first novel had two love interests: one was quiet and brainy, tall, dark and handsome and the other was playful with a baby face.  My main character was attracted to both of these men even though they were not the same “type.” When I’m with my girlfriends, one will often comment, “that guy is…
