My Chick Chat

Yeah, Outa curiosity I checked & the questions are up.


Health Nut

1. Soy Milk or Cow Milk?: Soy Milk for drinking ocassionaly, Cow milk for cooking
2. Veggie Burger or Mooo, I mean Meat?: Depends on my mood, I actually like both but I tend to go more for the meat.
3. Have you ever had a piece of cake and considered it breakfast?: I try not to make a habit out of it but if I have cake leftover from a party or something, I have to admit yeah.
4. Do Carbs Rock Your World?: Trying my darndest to cut back on the carbs. I do like bread but I'll stick with wheat bread which I think is lower in carbs.
5. What's the longest you've gone without weighing yourself?: I don't even own a scale. I hate to admit it but I only get weighed at my yearly doctor's exam.

Putting my little research trip on hold, yet again

PJ is napping now & by the time he wakes up, it will be too late to go. Besides I don't have the gas in my car right now to take the trip. It's about an hour drive from where we live and I'm down to a quarter tank. But I can try to go on Friday & if not, there's always next week.

I did a little bit of work on TLD. I rewrote one small scene that was in Olivia's POV & changed it to Josiah's. I'd rathter just keep my 4 major POV's. I'm still thinking about cutting Liam's POV but I'm not sure how to do it. He's the one who sees Edwin & Violet's relationship develop & he's also the one who talks Bethany's brother, Michael into be comming a secret service agent. Besides, I based on him David Caruso & I like him too much to cut :-). Maybe I'll take a look at his scenes & see what is necessary to the story & what isn't. Still no critiques on Captive Hearts but Rita posted a really nice message on the board thanking me for my crits & promsied to get back to posting when things get back to normal for her. I think I'd rather wait & finish that one up and submit it before doing further revions or submissions on TLD because it will look better if I at least have a few short story publications under my belt when I'm ready to start submitting. I should hear back from Arabella by the end of the month on Mojave Rose but if they don't like the stroy, I'll just go ahead & submit it to
A hint of seduction as well. I wish there were more magazines both e-zone or print that took historical romance short stories. I enjoy the challenge of writing a short story & would love to do more.

My virtual haunted home is comming along quite nicely. I added a Music Room, Fortune Teller's Room, Game Room and even a Haunted Garage :-)! Be sure to drop on in and let me know what you think. I tried to keep it somewhat kid friendly so it isn't too scary but each one of the pages has a bit of my unique sense of humor. My hubby saw me working on the pages a few days ago and said that I'm weird. I say it's better to be weird & interesting than normal and boring :-).
