WORD WRANGLERS: Why Be Normal When You Can Be Paranormal For me, writing paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, horror is no more a "choice" than my heterosexuality. It is who I am.

A delightful little blog of a fictional town, written by a writer friend of mine's boss.

well, I can't catch up completely. The new year is starting off with a bang! I'm flat broke but we have an extra car, yiipee :) and some great writing is going on, sometimes actually in my head and by me LOL.

Talk about a DOH moment. 3am, I go to delete a very small part of my website, and BAM! It's all gone. It was me. I admit it. I screwed up. Thanks to the nice people at Dixiesys.com, I'm restored and bigger and better than ever (had to get more space too). I'll be cleaning the web house during the holidays. Not getting much writing done. Very busy with daughter and kids moving back in and the holidays and boxes everywhere! Have a safe and fun holiday!

This is kinda cool :) I have a little interview by Writers in Business : Pat Hauldren Editor and Writer Extraordinaire

Since my hard disk crash, I'm having to redo all my emails and addresses. If I had yours, would you resend please? But can't do this all day. I've given myself till noon today, then it's write write write! I tossed out 2 scenes yesterday and added 2 and made the story soooo much better! Amazing how these pieces fall into place like a puzzle. It's a beautiful (and HOT) day in Texas. Write on!
