A friend sent me these Maxines this morning – I love Maxine. I want to grow up to be exactly like her. I believe I am on the way
It is cold here…yes, sure, it’s nearly winter but that doesn’t make it right. It’s also windy enough to blow a dog off a leash.
Update on Mervina the possum. I left the lights on under the house last night and will again tonight, as per my wise Editor’s suggestion. See? Editors have to deal with all manner of problems – anyway there was no sign of Mervina today. I suspect she is pissed off about not being able to wander around in the dark knocking things over – nor has she been able to sleep today as I kept the lights on. Jump out and scare me will you? I think not. You’re going bush whether you like it or not fatso.
I was talking to a reader who said that she wished she had the ‘gift of imagination’ so she could write. No one lacks imagination. It’s just a matter of belief in yourself and your abilities. As for writing? I have said this before but I believe anyone can write. I am sure there are probably some authors that would disagree with this sentiment. But I think anyone that has a voice and spirit of their own can bang out a book. The only thing it takes is time and patience. If you can find both then have a go and write. No writers I know are any smarter than anyone else and you may just surprise yourself. Do it.

With writing erotic romance - and I am sure I’ll get myself in trouble saying this but what the hell, that’s who I am – there are different types of erotica which I am sure you know. And no, I’m not saying any particular author writes porn so get a grip if you feel otherwise. Anyway, I write differently for different publishers. Well, it makes sense doesn’t it? Different publishers have

And yes, there is always a debate over what is erotic romance and what is soft porn. I have my own thoughts as I know anyone reading this does. That’s good. Wouldn’t it be boring if we all thought the same? I respect anyone’s right to read and write what they like. I personally will draw the line. I wonder what Maxine would say? Hmmm…

I suspect Anny could talk about sex on her blog – not sure. I know Kama Sutra Lovers will be out very soon through Ellora’s Cave - it will singe your eyelashes together. I have read snippets. Maybe she will be kind enough to add an eye singeing snippet on her blog. As for Kelly she is too much of a good girl for any singeing of bodily parts.

Go ahead: Live with abandon. Be outrageous at any age. What are you saving your best self for?

Does that mean trashify is a word too?
I am in total agreement. There are times when integrity is much more important than money.
Yes B, because to de-trashy-fy you first had to trashy-fy your writing. It's quite complex and I am not surprised at all that you have quickly grasped the concept because you are smart - and by all means please use the word
Hmmm. I suspect my latest work isn't trashyfied enough. If need be, I will look to you for advice if I must trashyfy it up some.
Poor Mervina. Turn on the lights on the weekends when you're gonna be wandering around under the house. It is 58F degrees here and the door is open. I suspect that you would think it was cold, though.
Besides, singeing of body parts is rather painful when all said and done.
My great aunt looked like Maxine. She wasn't sarcastic and funny, but she was uncannily similar in appearance. Aunt Cynthia was blind as a bat the last eight or more years of life but she still drove her car. It was TERRIFYING!! And this in a town of ohhh 2k on a busy weekend is why no one stopped her.
I'm with Maxine! We've gotta get the guy who brought men from Mars. And now we have to ship them all back, pronto! I have dibs on the first space ship as I know just who to send first.
Would you mind if I post that Maxine pic to my blog today, too? It would go so perfectly with my post.
Um...I don't sound like a romance writer right now, either, do I???
I love the Maxine cartoons. She cracks me up.
I've never de-trashified anything, but I have turned the heat way up on a couple of things. I usually hear, "They need to have more sex, faster," from my editor.
