Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

Put on your thinking caps folks….I’m stumped. I honestly have no clue how to answer this but I thought it was an interesting question. I can’t wait to see everyone’s answers.

From Dream: how do you know you’re good at writing?

Keep your fingers crossed (do I HAVE to answer the phone?):

Be sure to open your mail and answer the telephone today, AMIE, as you are likely to receive some interesting information from a friend or business associate. It could be that a deal that’s been in the works has just been signed, or a romantic interest you’ve been pursuing finally returns your affections. Whatever the day brings, it is likely to be favorable.

Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse’s legs, rump, and chest.

After a few minutes, Johnny asked, “Dad, why are you doing that?”

His father replied, “Because when I’m buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.”

Johnny, looking worried said, “Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.”

Was going to blog about my weekend but i’ve been doing research (HONEST) and thought I’d share this.

This is a list of important events the occured during 1983

“Just Say No” is the new tool to combat growing drug use in the US.

21 years later…OBVIOUSLY it didn’t work.

Anyway if you’re interested in 80’s or 90’s stuff that page has tons of fun stuff to …um…research =)

Want a place to vent over a sucky book you read? Go Here…

On another note, it was a great day but if I hear my son say, “Who’s that?” one more time I might scream. LOL

I will admit it is kinda fun introducing him to groups like Poison and Whitesnake. Guess now he knows why mom likes Kid Rock, et al

Went to Target tonight……standing in line and what did I spy?

GNR’s Greatest Hits. That’s Guns ‘N Roses =). Yes, I confess, I had a crush on Axl Rose
“Mom, who IS that?”
“Guns ‘n Roses!” said in a shocked tone. As if my kids would know who they are LOL

Amazing listening to it and thinking how well it’d play on today’s radio. Not that I actualy listen to today’s radio…:cry: I love giving characters quirks. Things that really humanize them. My current protag is a bit of a straight arrow, shop at The Gap sorta chick, but I’m thinking she needs some really subversive quirk (besides sex with Brent, Dream!) like a penchant for 80’s and 90’s hair bands. I see more trips to Target in my future… 8-P

Jess Sold!!!!! I’m so excited for her!! We met at nationals and she gave me a recommendation for my agent–I guess that makes us agent-mates 8-P

I’m so happy for her!!!!
