Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

I’m blogging at SFC today on how NOT to write a book. I’ll admit some of the stuff I listed were pet peeves but….feel free to weigh in and stuff. More later. I’ve got TONS to do today. Including, writing

* Oooooooooo ever wondered what my favorite words was? Then stop by the CP Blog and find out (and if you don’t know….tsk tsk)

* Ooooooooo are you bidding? It’s Brenda Novak auction time! Not only are the NAS girls doing it, everyone’s DOING IT! *ggg* I’ve donated a critique, a T-shirt and autographed copy of Nailed and some MORE stuff with our RWA chapter which looks to be a one day auction.

* Page proofs are done, faxed, and going in the mail (and groceries must be bought and errands run). We’re totally having frozen pizza for dinner!

TUESDAY:

* I’m blogging today at NAS about Ropers Rule and writing shorts.

* And Denise is blogging about Fear over at SFC

* Groceries were bought, children were fed LOL Ohhhhhh and now I get to fix my smilies!

Oooooooo no writing this week. I’ve been working on edits for MUS. Speaking of which, you can check out the cover and the excerpt at The Good The Bad The Unread!

…from the writing cave…

In the bathroom, I finger combed my hair and used Cash’s tooth brush—hell it looked brand new—then wadded my face into a scrunchie I’d dug out of my purse.

Sadly, I actually edited that sentence to look like that.

While she hadn’t struck him as the needy type, his dick had steered him wrong before. .

I’m still crying over this one getting cut. But never fear, it’ll find it’s way into another wip or my name isn’t….isn’t…my name.

I waved a hand in the air, wondering if he had any idea how completely insane I found the idea of paying that much for a piece of clothing that didn’t have wedding vows attached to it.

A woman after my own heart.

Even under her tan I could see the hint of a blush. And Reecie wasn’t one to blush—normally. Jack must really be working her over. Go Jack!

Indeed……..this is one of those times I wished I was my character

Lowering the volume and shifting gears, I turned into the moving company’s lot and parking next to Reece’s Murano. It was cute for a Mom-mobile, but now that Chloe was in college, Reece really needed to invest in a nice sports car—preferably in Come Fuck Me Red.

That is a winner on SO many levels! *pays homage to Robbie Jo*

“You’re about as subtle as a hurricane, babe.” with that, he turned his attention to his menu, lifting it high enough to block my view of him.
“No smirking, Cowboy.”

I hart you Cash

And hey if ya’ll don’t mind can we postpone Christmas like a week or so? Not only am I not done shopping, my house looks like it imploded on itself. What’s new in your world?
