It’s been one week…
It’s been one week (did anyone else just hear Barenaked Ladies???) since I had my last cigarette. I’d say it’s going well. I found that I do have triggers for wanting a cigarette, my man cub being at the top of that list. He’s at an age where he just likes to argue everything under …
Looky looky at what I’m up to this evening! @tj_michaels
A friend of mine, T.J. Michaels, recently reached out to me about giving her WordPress website a face lift. She’s a busy lady, being a NYT and USA Today bestselling author and all, so, her website just needed to be freshened up. It’s been a while and she was ready for something new. This is …
Here! Have a movie review or two. (@ChefTheFilm , @TheLoftMovie , @Jon_Favreau , @JohnLeguizamo , #KarlUrban)
Last night, I went home with the intent of doing a read-through of Dance With the Devil. Well, a read-through of what I have written, anyway. Instead, I decided to curl up with my e-cigarette (four days in and still smoke free!!) and embrace my inner couch potato. My daughter and I watched Finding Carter, …
For my author friend and fellow Dean Winchester addict, @LizCLong. You’re welcome. #amwriting #supernatural #deanwinchester
Liz Long, author of the fabulous Donovan Circus series, is a big nerdy Dean Winchester fan like yours truly. Since I am too busy writing to put together a real blog post, I decided to share this instead. Enjoy! P.S. Due to the nature of the graphics in this post, it’s best if viewed on a …
Why why WHY did I think it was a stellar idea to try to quit smoking???? Send me your good vibes!!!!
Good afternoon, party people! As I mentioned yesterday, I up and decided to quit smoking. Like, when I woke up yesterday morning. That’s when I decided. Lol I realized when I opened my pack of butts that the day when I would be “ready” to quit doesn’t exist. It’s a fairy tale. I am one …
It’s a drive-by blogging!!!!! #amwriting
Just a quick couple of notes. 1) I am back to writing! Working on Dance With the Devil today. Making some serious progress!!! 2) I’m strolling down Nostalgia Lane today. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is playing in the background while I write. Started again at S01E01 last night. 3) This morning, I smoked what I …
@CoreyTaylorRock is ranting his ass off again and how I somehow missed the last #Supernatural episode…. #YoureMakingMeHateYou
Greetings, humans! I know I have been a little quiet for the last few days and I have a completely valid excuse. I’ve been on a reading binge. I’m talking about a bender of epic proportions. Not really sure what triggered it, but I am letting it ride through the rest of this week. Then, …
I am doing a Water Challenge! And subsequently running to go pee every three minutes.
Greetings, humans! Today begins Day 1 of the water challenge I am participating in. The purpose of this challenge is to replace the shit you consume with water. So, no more soda for me. No more garbage. I can still have my morning coffee, but this morning, I used just a pinch of sugar and fat …
Season finales of #TheBlacklist, #TheVampireDiaries, #TheOriginals, and the dirty book I read. @raynelola @NBCBlacklist @cwtvd @cworiginals
Last week was a big week for TV junkies everywhere. I am one of them. I had several shows I am faithful to wrap up their seasons and I spent a good portion of the time watching them crying like a great, big freak. This post is a long one and contains spoilers for the shows listed down …
ATTN: Seether fans!! The boys are playing live online RIGHT NOW. @SeetherOfficial
Hey party people! I know it’s a little late BUT I needed to share this. Seether, my favorite band and the muse for the book I’m working on right now, is playing a live shown at the House of Blues in Cleveland Ohio USA and Yahoo! Live is airing it LIVE. RIGHT NOW! This band …
I’m all zen and shit. #amwriting
Good morning, you sexy bitches! “Today is a new day.” – Captain Obvious I don’t know what my problem was yesterday, but, I did not wake up in an aggro state of mind again today. I shouldn’t be allowed to human when I wake up all with this attitude towards everyone: Today, is different. Today, I’m …
Naughty websites, a new way of writing, and #TheBlacklist is on tonight! (@NBCBlacklist)
What up, peeps? Today has been a busy day, but, I have gotten very little accomplished for myself. I started out my morning by finishing up the website concept design for NYT Bestselling Author T.J. Michaels and doing a little store addition for Nicky Jayne’s website. Nicky’s website is live if you want to go …
#TheJudge, #GoingClear, and #amwriting…. (@RobertDowneyJr)
Hey peeps! I let you all know on Saturday’s blog post, but in case you missed it, I spent a good portion of my weekend writing (yay!!!). However, yesterday I spent most of the day fighting a really bad headache. Since I was stuck in bed, I decided to watch a few movies. Are we …
Dance With the Devil and My Cat’s Nuts
Good morning, my loves! I feel like I need to clarify something right out the gate. The title of this post is Dance With the Devil (obviously, you know what that is about) and My Cat’s Nuts. I felt I should just get out of the way right now that we are using Cat’s in …
A Little Love Letter to Book Bloggers #bookbloggers #blogger #booknerd #bookporn
Okay, this isn’t really going to be a letter, exactly, but more of a defense piece for the book bloggers the world ’round who bust their ass for very little, if any, return on their invested time. Every Thursday when I wake up, I get stupid excited. From the moment I get up until the …
#TNEEVegas Confessions, WIP’s, the Goon Squad, and some super-fun #giveaways! #lasvegas #amwriting
Phew! This has been a LONG month, but not in a bad way. Busy is good when you do what I do, so, you’ll hear no complaints from this camp! Aside from the Virtual Tour of Speak of the Devil and the Batman v. Superman trailer, I have yet to do a real blog post …
Come take a virtual tour of my book Speak of the Devil!
In August 2014, I took a three-day vacation out to a little town in the middle of the northwestern Arizona desert called Meadview. There isn’t much to the town, but it changed my life and the way I look at life after only three days. The town is only about a two-hour ride from Las …
Just had to share. #BatmanVSuperman #Batman #Superman #DawnOfJustice #DCComics
Good morning, ladies and gents! I am sure most of you have already seen it, but I figured I would share just in case. 😉 I will be the first to admit I was very skeptical of the whole Batflecck thing, but Zack Snyder appears to have pulled together an epic movie. He tweeted out …
I think everyone should just give Anna Todd and fanfic writers a break…. #fanfiction
I wont try to hide the fact that I originally skimmed over the Anna Todd story back in October, and followed it up immediately with a dramatic eye roll. Another one, I thought. For some reason, the story is suddenly making rounds on social media again, and this time, it is accompanied by some pretty nasty …
How to Spend the Rest of Your Life Working Your Ass Off – OR – The Reality of Self-Publishing
Yesterday, I read an article an author friend of mine posted on Facebook. The article was from 2013 and was written by an author who was once traditionally published, and when faced with his next manuscript being rejected by many traditional publishers, decided to turn to self-publishing. What he found was what many of us …
Why didn’t you guys tell me Sons of Anarchy was so amazeballs?!?!?!?! #sonsofanarchy #soa #samcro
I posted this to my Roulette Wheel Confessions site this morning and thought I would share it over here as well. As there is a spoiler warning, feel free to leave comments with your favorite moments from the show! Yep. I did it. Six full seasons, plus the three season seven episodes which have aired, in …
I’m pouting and it’s partly Hardwick’s fault…. (@Nerdist #SDCC )
I’m sitting here at my desk…..pouting. I know I could be doing something productive, like maybe working on Speak of the Devil or one of the other 8,000,000,000,000.3 things I have on my never-ending to-do list. But, no. I’m pouting. Why? You want to know why?!?!?!?! MAYBE BECAUSE CHRIS HARDWICK IS DOING THIS: There is …
RANDOMS: Remember Myspace Surveys???
Do you all remember those obnoxiously long surveys we all used to pass around on Myspace? Well, I decided to do one here. It has absolutely nothing to do with writing, but whatevs. Here goes!
Dez has a slight attitude problem…
I got bored at work today, but had just enough to do that writing was out of the question. So I started screwing around making graphics for The Devil You Know again. Enjoy!
Open Letter to Indie Authors
1/6/2014 – AN UPDATE ON THE UPDATE – I have been approving 100% of the comments left on this post. I haven’t hidden a single thing. I have received exactly FOUR pieces of negative feedback on this open letter, three of which were about my use of profane language. Due to this, I feel it …
HBO’s Iron Throne Vs. George R.R. Martin’s Iron Throne
I think it is safe to assume you are all aware by now of how much of a Game of Thrones freak I am. I was even lucky enough to get a picture of myself taken sitting on the Iron Throne the last time I went out to Las Vegas. Well, I spotted this on …
