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?

What Constitutes Balance? I thought it was Wax On, Wax Off. Homework and writing come out evenly. I think I was wrong. It's time to examine the definition of balance. From time to time, it becomes apparent that one aspect of life is dramatically underserved or overserved. I have concluded a break should be taken from the rest of daily activities to restore (or at least IMPROVE) the imbalance. I haven't done a lick of homework in two weeks. I have two months left to finish my course. It's time to get on the stick. So how could I permit myself to spend a week cleaning the house and organizing my life? I realize that it was necessary to do this in the name of balance. I am more free to do my homework when the house is clean. When my kids feel like they have had some attention and have clean clothes to wear. When we are eating nutritious meals that don't cost as much as eating out. Don't panic. I am still the same, lazy slob. I don't intend to keep a tidy house--until I can afford a maid. However, we are making an effort to live more healthily and frugally. The question of the day is: Why is doing the dishes the reward one gets for fixing dinner? The pots and pans are going to sit in the sink until the next morning, thank you very much.
