Goals

Goals can be wonderful things. They can be motivating things. Ways to measure how far you've come. Ways to reward yourself for a job well done.

They can also be the most depressing things in the world. When you don't make your goals you can get depressed, frustrated, feel defeated, and eventually give up.

Which is why goals should be attainable.

I was recently involved in a two week writing thing. We were each to set our goals for every day and then meet them. Well the first week I set an incredibly easy goal and surpassed it every day. So the next week I tripled that goal and failed miserably for the next four days. BUT by the end of two weeks I had written 30,000 words - a complete new novella, AND rewritten the first 4,000 words of another story that just wasn't working for me at all.

So, yes, I met some goals, I didn't meet others. But having those goals to strive for helped me accomplish something I had no intention of doing.

I am a happy camper.

My heroines are Beautiful

All my heroines are beautiful. Some are larger than others, but all are beautiful and if you can't handle a woman that is larger than a size 14 being considered beautiful, then don't read my books, and don't read my blog :)

Someone asked my why I tend to write "fat chicks". I write fat chicks cause we are allowed to have some happiness, too. Not all men in this world only want skinny sticks with tits. Believe it or not, there are plenty of good men - black, white, hispanic, native american, all types - that like larger women. And no, that does not make them "chubby chasers." That makes them men.

Been a While

Wow. I suck. :)
I was so trying to post here regularly, to be a good girl. And I was almost kind of doing a pretty good job at it, as well. But lately I have gotten really bad.
Sorry.
Some of it has been family stuff. Some of it has been work. Some of it has been writing.
Which means there is a good side to this disappearing act.
Kansas City Shuffle has a tentative release date of August 18 with Loose-Id.

For those of you who do not know (which I have been told is most people) The Kansas City Shuffle is an old blues song. "When you look left and they fall right" Trust me, the only reason I know is cause I am weird like that. Basically it means that everyone thinks one thing is happening when in reality it is something totally different.

That's what's going on for Larissa. The heroine of KCS. She thinks she has won an all expense trip to Kansas City for a shopping spree and three fantasy dates. But she doesn't know that the Ozark Wolves, the pack of weres she's been reading about for the past 8 years is a real werewolf pack, and that they have more than just her shopping spree planned for her.

More in the next few days. :)
