A few days ago I posted a little blurb on Courage. Shayner put this in the comment section…but I think it deserves to be more prominent. Just in case some of you miss it. :)

The R in Courage was for Really Living.

R….

Under an old brass paper weight, is my list of things to do today.
Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the celler door.
I cross them off as I get em’ done, but when the sun is set.
Theres still more than a few things left I haven’t got to yet.

Go for a walk, say a little prayer, take a deep breath of mountain air.
Put on my glove, play some catch, Its time that I make time for that.
Wade the shore, cast a line, look up an old lost friend of mine.
Sit on the porch, and give my girl a kiss,
Start livin’, Thats the next thing on my list.

Wouldn’t change the course of fate, if cuttin’ the grass just had to wait.

Cause I’ve got more important things, like pushing my kid on a backyard swing.
I won’t break my back for a million bucks, I can’t take to my grave.
So why put off til’ tommorrow, what I could get done today.

Go for a walk, say a little prayer, take a deep breath of mountain air.
Put on my glove, play some catch, Its time that I make time for that.
Wade the shore, cast a line, look up an old lost friend of mine.
Sit on the porch, and give my girl a kiss
Start livin’, Thats the next thing on my list.

Raise a little hell, laugh til’ it hurts, put an extra five in the plate at church.
Call up my folks, just to chat, It’s time that I made time for that.
Stay up late, and over sleep, show her what she means to me.
Catch up on all the things I’ve always missed.
Just Start livin’, thats the next thing on my list.

Under an old brass paper weight, is my list of things to do today…..

with my characters. I remember in february when I started this novella. I was so excited about the characters and thought I would have so much fun with them. It only took me a short time to get half way into it, then I stalled.

This past weekend I started editing that first half, looking for why I stalled. And I am now in love with them again. I’m still not sure why I stalled, I have more editing to finish before I continue, but it’s so wonderful to feel excited about it again.

“Money matters are again favored; a chance to make a career change comes at the same time that a little financial incentive also arrives. Someone you looked up to now sees you as an authority on the subject.”

Let’s hope that career change is out of waitressing and deeper into writing, and not out of writing! :D

WhooHooo!
Cece made some changes in my website for me today!! I luv her! I am so not a computer person. I’ve got step by step instructions on how to do this from the web designer and I still can’t do it myself! But my good friend Cece has done it for me!! She’s so smart. :) She designed and built her own website too!! So be sure to check out the Home page for the cover of Down & Dirty 2 and a short excerpt. That is the book you have a chance to win if you subscribe to my website updates by the end of the month!

While you’re checking things out, surf on over to Cece’s site too! Her blog is pretty uhmmmm, uncensored! I love it! :laugh:

It takes courage for people to go after their dreams, no matter what the dream. Whether it’s to be an olympic athlete, a bestselling author or simply to work at building a family of your own. Different people have different dreams, but they all take courage to pursue.

I find this inspiring to stay the course for mine.

C ~ Confronting the dragons.
O ~ Overcoming the obstacles
U ~ Understanding the risks
R ~ Really living
A ~ Always Believing
G ~ Going the distance
E ~ Expecting the best.

In the past I’ve been told that some of my stories are ‘over the top’ and even ‘disturbing’. Definitely not the majority, thank God! Most people realize that erotica is fiction. It’s a good way to express, and explore, sexual fantasies and desires. It’s also enjoyable to read…and write! ;)

Anyway, this link was sent to me by a reader and I thought you’d all enjoy taking a look at the Top Ten Female Sexual Fantasies. It went a ways to making me remember that my fantasies aren’t that different from most.

Whooo Hoooo!:hehe:

My copies of DOWN & DIRTY 2 have arrived! I’ll get a copy of the cover up soon, but for now you can peek at the other Pretty Things Press titles Here.

Two of the forty-five erotic “short shorts” in this anthology are written by me, and I am going to draw to give a copy away. And this is a hot, sexy, erotic collection. Not a romantic or romantica one.

As you can see by searching my website…I have no CONTEST page so what I’m doing is putting it up on here, for those of you that check in regularly! All you have to do to enter is subscribe to get notified of updates to my blog. You can do that at the top of this page. And just so you know…I don’t actually notify you every time I update the blog, I only send out the notifications once in a while to remind you I’m here! I wouldn’t want to be annoying, and I’m sure if I notified you every day that I blogged, it would get annoying. :rolleyes:

You have until The end of July to enter!

She couldn’t look away. He had her wrists pinned beside her head and his eyes peered deep into her soul. He thrust his hips slowly and slid gently into her body. Her heart swelled, and her legs wrapped around his waist holding him tight to her. His rhythm picked up speed and she whimpered, her insides tightening around him, her body trembling with the strength of her approaching orgasm. Her eyelids got heavy but she couldn’t let them fall, couldn’t look away from the well of emotions overflowing from his eyes.

“I love you, Gina.” He whispered.

She cried out in joy, every muscle in her body taut, and squeezed him between her thighs. She squeezed harder and thrust her hips again. And felt nothing but emptiness.

A loud groan of frustration echoed in her empty bedroom as Gina opened her eyes. She pressed a hand against her heated forehead. Another dream. Another faceless lover with eyes that looked deep into her soul and filled her heart while he filled her body. Flopping onto her back in the queen sized bed she kicked at the tangled sheets and let the cool air dance across her overheated skin.

She was used to having dreams wake her up. When she was a little girl all her premonitions had come in the form of dreams. But as she grew, so did her skill at manipulating and controlling her gift. Now she could use her other senses to bring forth a vision when needed. Like touch, or scent. Even though she could block them with equal ease, she still chose to keep herself pretty isolated emotionally. People just didn’t understand that her gift didn’t make her weird, but special. She’d learned how to block random vibrations. She would’ve never been able to live a normal life if she hadn’t. But at night, when she sought peace in sleep, the dreams still came.

Closing her eyes once more she trailed a hand over her belly and past the small patch of tight curls. Trying to forget the familiar ache of loneliness in her heart, she concentrated on easing the ache of emptiness between her thighs.

I’ve admitted I’m not a very technical person right?:plain:
Computer problems tend to really get me going because I feel so helpless when dealing with them. I had a real big problem develop last week. My word processing programs kept shutting down every time I tried to “save” a document. :crazy:
So I did everything I was supposed to do. I called support, I emailed support. And I followed their intsructions. Spent $130 on a disk utility program that should fix anything. Then the program froze on my computer. I called the support line and after a brief conversation that went something like this.
Me: “I picked up Disk Warrior on Friday to try and fix my problem and the program gets to step 5 and freezes.”
Tech Guy: “What do you mean freezes?”
Me: “It stops working. The computer freezes and doesn;t do anything.”
Tech guy: “Are you sure? How much time did you give it?”
Me: “7.5 hours” (Actually was closer to 10 but I didn’t want him to laugh at me.)
Tech Guy: “Oh! Ok. Bring it in.”
I brought it in and the super busy guy looked at it right away. After 4 hours he got the program working, but the problem with my word processors was still there. So the computer is in the shop for a week waiting for a new hard drive.:satisfied:
During this time there was huge storm outside. Hail, flooding and tornado warnings (two actually touched down in surrounding areas) and of course, I’d left my car window open because it was nice when I’d arrived at the computer shop. :O
So I had to sit in a wet seat and drive home. Hey, there were cars Floating under the bridge here so I was glad it was just a bit of a wet bottom I had to deal with.
Then when I got home I hooked up my laptop to the Internet and went to check my email. Oops! I couldn’t get into it because I couldn’t remember the username and password!
On my desktop computer it’s set to automatically log me in, and it’s been so long that I couldn’t remember the actual correct words. Ugh! How stupid is that? So I emailed Genevieve and begged her to check her files for me. Thank God she keeps records of the things she sets up for me. :)
So I’m back now…and working on my novella.
Hmmm …would you all like a sneak peek at what I’m working on?

Man, oh Man! The sun is shining and I should be feeling so much better! And I am…to an extent. My computer woes have become a big problem. I probably won’t be around until I get this figured out. Hopefully this weekend, or I am going to be very upset. And very vocal about it. LOL

Have a good weekend everyone.
