I have a full time day job. I would love to write full time but until I can make enough money off my writing, if not more, to supplement the income from the day job I’m stuck working and writing.
I’ve had authors tell me they envy me or admire me or wonder how I do […]
Jennifer Crusie has been quoted as saying:
Don’t look down.
Which essentially means to just write the story and don’t over edit yourself when you’re writing the first draft. It can be taken as a variation of BICHOK - Butt In Chair, Hands on Keyboard (for the non-writers reading this).
Nora Roberts has been quoted as saying:
You can’t edit a […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about genre’s and why I started writing, want to write, what’s my motivation and other such topics.
Lately I’ve been struggling with my writing. Don’t get me wrong. I love to write. I’ve tried giving up (okay so it’s really quitting) but I just can’t. It’s apart of me, in my […]
Determination, perseverance, longevity and patience.
These are some of the qualities that were mentioned to me when I asked the elders in my families what they thought the keys to success are.
I have a website, blog, Myspace, Bebo, Yahoo group, Shelfari and Good Reads account. I recently started using my twitter account though I’ve had […]
I watched ANTM Wednesday night and was shocked to discover that a size 10 is considered plus size and that size 2 is prefered for the runway. Now there will be some who say that that’s just modeling and it was only 1 designer. But it’s the fashion industry and a lot of young women […]
Seressia Glass is hosting a discussion on Racism in the Romance Genre.
A comment-laden post on Dear Author that started as a dissertation on opinion vs. actual defamation quickly became a discussion on race, veered closely to defamation on someone else’s blog (no, I’m not going to link to the blog, but saying that an author […]
I’m going shopping this weekend. I’m going to buy a cool new outfit. Plus Payless is having another BOGO.
So you’re wondering why am I celebrating?
Because I wrote and submitted and now have 2 completed novellas that are ready to be submitted.
Because I could have chickened out and let the “darling little gems” sit on my […]
Excuse me while I allow myself a moment to whine and moan.
As you know I submitted to the Cobblestone Press for the Vampire Oracle - In The Cards series/line. I subbed 2 proposals - both rejected.
And I have to say that rejection for me always seem to happen when I’m dealing with issues and dramas […]
Hello.. My name is Angeleque and I’m a slacker.
I know I’ve been slacking on my blogging but I’ve been writing. So I have a good excuse. Plus I’ ve been doing OT at the DJ (day job) so it leaves little time to blog.
I promise I will update soon, more extensively with the projects I […]
This doesn’t mean what you think. No, I haven’t booted anyone off my top 10 list of favorite authors.
But I realized the other day when someone asked me my favorite authors, I left off a couple. The reason - they haven’t written anything new in a while. Now this isn’t a plea for them to […]
