Hello world! It's me...

After years of indecision and indirection, not to mention FEAR of the page.. and failure ...and rejection from my peers and ...well, you get the picture, I finally said to heck with it all. I’M A WRITER AND I’M GOUNG TO WRITE! Not only that, but write what I want not what other people expect or what’s trendy or what will validate my ego by demonstrating my intelligence/education etc. I’m just going to WRITE! And for me that means happy endings, sensuality, and a really good plot.

So. I don’t anticipate being here more than once/week and sometimes less. I’ll be writing for at least 4h every day, unless something important comes up i.e. a Dr’s appt, a death, a war >:]

About me: I’m 40, happily married for 22y to my Prince Charming (who provides lots of fodder), with 3 teenagers to keep me busy, when they’re home that is. Oh! I guess one is not a teen anymore! She just turned 20 last month and goes to Humbolt in the fall. Otherwise we have a would-be farm in the country, mainly raising rocks and sage brush. We do have a garden and some chickens and 2 indoor cats to keep us company.

I’m about 80 pages into my first writing project in a LONG, long time. It’s the most complex plot I’ve ever attempted but also the most fun I’ve ever written. Wish me luck! I want to have the first draft done by the end of May…
