I need someone to be excited with me and I don’t really have anyone right now. What I need is a sounding board – a writer who has read my shit, likes my shit, and would be willing to allow me to bounce ideas off of them when I’m stuck on writing new shit. I …
Busy day today….
Today I am trying to get my Regulatory Compliance LOMA course taken care of (for the day job), so I probably wont be doing too much writing during the day. However, I should have the LOMA passed and in the bag by the time I leave work. That means I will be back to writing …
My Love/Hate Relationship With Conventions, and How to Make Them Work For YOU!
Authors and convention directors alike seem to have a love/hate relationship with conventions and book signings. Convention directors are killing themselves to fill the seats while authors are spending a lot more time complaining about disappointing turn outs. Well, I know some secrets, peeps. I’ve seen some stuff, I’ve heard some stuff. Most importantly, I’ve …
My blogging plan got screwed today, so this is what you get instead. #amwriting
Hey party people. Today is one of those days where I’m 100% thoroughly exhausted. It was an early morning into work, one of the worst phone calls I’ve ever taken, and then just way too much busy for one day. Just a genuinely shitastic day. Sigh…. I have just eight work hours left to …
The GoFundMe Scandal, and Jena’s pulling the #outrageculture card again!
Good afternoon, you sexy bibliophiles! What a frikkin week, right?!?!?! It felt like Monday lasted for about thirty years, and today is not too far off. This morning, I realized this week isn’t going to get any easier, so, I scheduled myself a writing day on Friday! I’m super-excited about it. I have one quick …
Hey, man. *shifty eyes*
Good evening, my loves! I’m all geared up and ready to write for the evening. I’m going to go for as long as I can keep my eyes open. I was up late last night writing, and too many late nights are kicking my ass, as I mentioned in my post yesterday. What’s everyone else …
Jena’s Top 50 Most Beautiful Men
Greetings, humans!!! Happy Monday!!! <– Oxymoron, right?!?! It’s been more than a month in the making, and over 10,000 words, but it’s finally done. Every year, People does their famous 50 Most Beautiful issue in which they name the Sexiest Man Alive. I always feel like way too many boys get left out of this …
Not 5k words, but I’ll take it! #amwriting #wordcount
Okay, my loves! I’m officially out of steam for the night. I’m clocking in at a final word count of 2,817 on the WIP. Combine that with the 1,543 from my earlier blog post, and that brings today’s writing total to 4,380 words. It’s not the 5,000 I was hoping for, but I’ll take it. …
Break time with Jason Momoa. #amwriting
Evening, peeps! I’m on a writing binge tonight, and since I’m taking a brief break, I thought I’d check in and say hi. Got myself a glass of wine, my house smells AMAZEBALLS thanks to dinner in the crock pot, and I’m in a spectacular mood. The absolutely beautiful Mr. Momoa is here for inspirational …
I’m beyond tired, way over-worked, and all writer’s block-y. #verbalvomit
Well, the writer’s block part of that headline isn’t entirely true. I dont have a full-on case. It’s more like I want to write everything EXCEPT any of my current works in progress. For instance, the Jena’s Top 50 Most Beautiful Men post that I’ve been working on for over a month??? Yeah, that bad …

My triumphant return to the Bloggy Blog will make you…..well, cry, actually.
Good afternoon, my fellow bibliophiles. I apologize for the slightly sad commentary as my return to the Bloggy Blog, but, yesterday marked one year since the first time I ever really gave a shit when a celebrity passed. When I was 10 years old, a musician my father worshiped, Stevie Ray Vaughn, was tragically killed in …
How has it been 15 days since we last spoke?!?!?!?
I cannot believe the last time I posted was n July 20th!!!! I have been so busy, I just didn’t realize how hard I’ve been slacking. Well, that’s not fair. I haven’t exactly been slacking. I have been busting my ass on Pure Textuality PR business. Good for the PR business, bad for my writing …
Five years ago, and the lessons I’ve learned…. #amreflecting
Sometimes I sit and think about where I was five years ago and I am thrown by how much my life has changed in the last few years. Aside from the fixed points (mom, dad, and kids), my entire life has shifted dramatically. My list of future plans went from one item (“I just need …
Pssst! If anyone asks, I’m not here. This is just a drive-by blogging. #amwriting
I’m working on the Nick/Lexi project today between day job calls and this happened to me today. Had to go back and fix a chapter. Didn’t take long though. Just a pain in the ass. I’m still insanely happy with the progress. I promise to be back to regular blogging tomorrow. Maybe I will post …
#Grey and my big romance-athon! #amwriting
So much has happened in the last couple of days! I’m just going to do a super-quick blog post, and then I am back to writing! In This Post: Speak of the Devil on Nook Grey by E.L. James….or should I say Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer WIP Update, a personal confession, & the ongoing …
