What I'm up to this week plus nice pic to look at. LOL

I am half way through my latest WIP. Yeah!!! I had gotten stuck but this time I refused to do my normal, which is jump to another WIP for a few days and then come back at it after a break. Nope. I dug my heels in the next day and ended up doing an impressive Chapter and a half! I think I twittered at around 5,500 words but I kept going so I went to bed at around 7,000 words. Keep in mind that was about 14 hours (with breaks, eating, life...LOL) but I broke thru the block which was great.
.
Over the weekend I got 2 more great reviews for Ral's Woman so that was really awesome!!! I should update my website and add them but I already have 3 on there so I haven't. LOL. I kind of feel like it would be overkill. LOL.
.
I'm new to twitter and trying to figure it out. I admit it, I'm addicted. I read but I'm still hesitant to write anything on there and I only have a few followers who want to hear me so far. LOL. It's just such a cool concept and you can keep up with your friends and people you just are curious about so easily that how can it not be cool??? I signed up to follow some of my favorite authors and bloggers I like. I still need to hunt names up on a bunch of them but it's really cool because I get to see what they are working on, where they are in the WIP, they share some pretty funny links, or pictures, and it's just great because usually you're left in limbo about books a lot until they can make the official announcements. So... I decided I love twitter. LOL.
.
Now here's a question to people who do this. If I'm a member of twitter does that mean I'm considered a twit? LOL. Honest question. Couldn't they have picked a better name??? My oldest daughter was so happy to get me on there. She uses her phone to update hers. She told me how cool it would be for me to do this. I had to point out a few things like A) I don't know how to use my cell phone to text (nope...I don't...I can't even program #'s in and B) Where the hell do I go that I get so excited I have the urge to whip out my cell phone to announce it to everyone I know??? I can see that now. WHOO HOOO! I'm at school picking up the kids..... Wow, the grocery store has long lines....and don't you really want to know when some (insert bad name here) person cuts me off??? Uh...no. LOL.
.
The only way I can see this actually useful is if I were to snap photos of the kind of strange and weird people I sometimes run across at Walmart and want to share them. I think they have the People of Walmart site for that. LOL. I did see a young guy in there recently who looked like he couldn't decide between if he wanted to be a Vanilla Ice impersonator, Prince, or the lead singer of Flock of Seagulls. He just kind of mixed all three. I see tons of funny things at the 99 cent store. They need a website for that one. I'm terrible so it's probably a good thing I don't do that because I'd get into trouble. Good example? I found myself in line behind this big, mean looking biker guy in a 99 cent store not too long ago. He's full on bad ass. LOL. He might not have appreciated me snapping a shot of him with his cart full of condoms and warming lube. (I kid you not...I'm talking enough to last 3 active guys for a year!) And there I am with all the kid snacks in my cart, glancing at his, wondering... is he picking it up for a big wild party... did he just get released from prison and is really, really optimistic to make up for lost time... or maybe a bachelor party??? I was so tempted to ask but he didn't look like the chatty sort so I was just left to wonder. I wasn't going to risk annoying the nice biker dude with KILL etched across his knuckles. LOL.

Okay, I'm back to writing! I just wanted to update my blog! LOL.

  2. HA. This is sooo damn funny. Sounds like a wicked story, L. Condoms and lube. Hm.

  3. LOL, Regina. I still ponder the why he needed about 25 boxes of condoms and about 30 tubes of warming lube.
