Ok, I’ve decided I need to blog more and I need to set up some sort of schedule. Last night I brainstormed it and came up with these ideas:
~ Madness Monday: Recapping crazy events of the past week whether it be something personal or professional (most likely personal ‘cos my children are always doing something crazy). I’ll try to make it funny, I swear.
~ Writing Wednesday: Writing related topic. Maybe a good article I read or even something I came up with myself. Whatever, it’s all about writing.
~ Author Friendly Friday: I’m going to talk about a book I read by someone I know or by someone I want to know ‘cos they’re just so damn cool.
I’m also going to try (emphasis on try) to blog on my myspace page on Tuesday and Thursday. Hey have you been to my myspace page? Are you my friend? Well what are you waiting for you haven’t? Come check me out here.
Edited to add ~ I’m going to do the Thursday Thirteen meme. I don’t know if I’m interesting enough to list 13 facts about me week after week but I’m gonna give it a go.
weekend!

So…I’m working on a novella that is more sensual than anything (though it’s still pretty hot - heh heh heh). A little more descriptive, mysterious setting, recluse hero. Yeah, it’s totally different than anything I’ve ever written.
No funny bits whatsoever. I’ve written a few that are going to be published that aren’t funny (Spontaneous at Samhain, Covet at Amber Quill) but this one is my darkest yet. The hero is tormented, the heroine is a spoiled brat. He’ll make her appreciate the small things in life and she’ll bring him out of his self-imposed prison.
Wow, sounds pretty intense huh? Now I just gotta finish the thing! I gave up on it a few weeks ago, worked on a revision and some other stuff but last night I started to have at it again. We’ll see how it works out.
I’m wondering if any of you are stretching your wings and trying something new this year? I feel doing this pushes me as a writer, which is a good thing.

Are you feeling lucky?
In celebration of my book So Lucky, coming out March 16th at Cobblestone Press, I’m giving away a beautiful pendant - a genuine four leaf clover frozen in white acrylic polyresin along with a silver chain.
Just send an email to karen @ karenwritesromance.com (minus the spaces) with “Feeling Lucky” in the subject line and you’re entered!
But hurry - I’m closing the contest on Saturday, March 10th, so I can get the necklace in the mail in time for Saint Patrick’s Day!

I entered my story Covet into the Amber Quill Press Amber Heat Wave contest and I won!
Whoo hoo I can’t believe it! I wasn’t even going to enter, I did it on a total whim. I wrote the story in a matter of days - I don’t even know what inspired me but it just poured out.
Party time! Yay!!!
