Interview!

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Hi All!
Just wanted to say there is an interview of me up over at the Book Smugglers Blog, along with a lovely new review of Compromised. http://thebooksmugglers.com/. There’s a contest too – so come on by and check it out!

First off, I just want to let everyone know that I’m going to be interviewed over at the Book Smugglers’ blog (thebooksmugglers.com) this week, so keep an eye out. They are an incredible set of ladies and ask some really tough questions, so hopefully I’ll be able to dodge and weave my way through the answers.

Been doing a lot of work this week, which to me, means locking myself in my apartment, and typing. Generally I have some noise on in the background, sometimes its music, but in general its television. I know some people have difficulty concentrating while the TV is on, but I have difficulty watching TV if I’m not doing something – cooking, typing, reading, playing solitaire on my ipod – at the same time. So I have discovered some of the best TV for me to write by, is stuff that is dense that I can follow just listening to. Stuff that I know really well, like the Wire, or stuff that can play out like a radio show, like in Treatment. So I have spent the past week catching up on the entire second season of In Treatment.

I would feel guilty, but luckily, this also means I’ve gotten a lot of work done.

Hope everyone has a great week, and stop by the Book Smugglers. It’ll be fun. Happy Reading, everyone!

Writing writing writing away

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Been busy writing this weekend – and unpacking, since I’m back from my travels — so I don’t have a lot to report, but I wanted to share with you my new favorite way to kill time: www.textsfromlastnight.com. It’s what it sounds like – a bunch of texts submitted after nights that are either incredibly good or horrendously bad – and the line between the two is subject to interpretation. Fair warning – not for kids. OK, back to my WIP, as always, Happy Reading everybody!

p.s. Oh, and Happy Mother’s Day, mom!

Writing while Traveling

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Short post today, as I have been out of town, away from my comfy desk and my comfy writing chair for the past week. But of course I still have writing to do, so I brought my laptop with me. You guys? Finding the time to sneak a couple of pages in here and there? NOT EASY. I have to drive everywhere (something I’m not used to being from New York City) and having a commute really eats into time, and having great friends who want to go to baseball games eats into it some more. Plus the lack of my comfy desk and comfy writing chair… but I have to try. So here I go…
