About Me
I am a romance writer. That's not easy to say. Most people have preconceived notions about romances, and the people who write them. Let me tell you! Writing isn't for sissies. I got my first rejection in April 2004. That makes me a professional. In what other field are you considered a "professional" when you don't get called back for a second interview?

Wax on, Wax off Life is a balancing act. Unfortunately, I'm not so good at balancing, and my life didn't come with a safety net for when I take a tumble off the highwire. Lately though, I've managed a few tiny triumphs in the area of balance. I COOKED. That is a major accomplishment. Wednesday night I cooked, and I made something for Thursday (yesterday) that DH could warm up, because I knew I wouldn't be up to it. I'm fighting a sinus infection and had a minor medical procedure on Thursday. I was proud of myself. Probably unnecessarily so! I WROTE. I've struggled with this, but not because I have nothing to write. I don't have writer's block either. I don't have "I donwannas." I have homework. Lots of homework, and I feel guilty if I write when I could be homeworking. Plus, when it's been a few days (or weeks, heaven forbid) between writing sessions, it's tougher to get back into the groove. Where am I, what are the characters doing in the next scene, etc. I DID HOMEWORK. I am almost 20% finished with the sound files in my medical transcription course. Then I take the final, then hopefully get a job. Before the end of the summer. WAX ON, WAX OFF. My new system: Transcribe 5 files (wax on) then write 2 pages (wax off). So far it's working. Like ying-yang or something. It's kind of strange sharing this with whoever drops by, but one thing I've learned from the published and unpublished writers I've met since starting this journey--Everyone has a life. A real, honest-to-goodness, struggle and heartache life. Sometimes even good things (like babies or grandbabies or weddings) stonewall the writing process. Everyone has a life. Real writers write anyway.
