Hi, it’s October 1st. Yeah, I know can you believe it? Time sure does fly. Oh wait, you can’t believe it because it’s so sizzling HOT outside? I know, right? I mean come on. Fall’s official arrival was last Wednesday. Now we’re suffering through a week of 100+ or close enough temperatures. I’m sorry but it sure doesn’t feel like fall to me.
Autumn please show up. I’m begging you and I don’t like to beg but please. I’m so sick of the heat (okay I really can’t complain it’s been a rather mild summer for us but still). I want cool, crisp air and falling leaves and I want to smell that first hint of rain…
Plus when it’s so blessed hot outside I don’t really like to drink my favorite drink – the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Yes it’s PSL time! Let’s see how many hits I get this year on the blog every time I mention it. Oh PSL, how I do love thee.
In other news it’s October 1st and I *just* realized I have a novella due in two months. A category length book due by the end of the year (though I’d love to turn it in sooner). Another novella type thingy I promised to a certain editor and oh yeah, that super secret project I’ve been working on with my agent. I need to finish slapping it into shape. Crap. I just freaked myself out.
Happy Friday!

As in, I’m a terrible blogger and oh yeah, the weather is terrible. Officially fall last week, it is 100+ degrees predicted all week in my neck of the woods. UGH. Where is the cooler weather? Huh, huh?
It is nowhere to be found. I burn fall smelling candles in the hopes of making it feel like fall. Oh yeah and I’m putting out the fall/Halloween decorations this weekend no matter what. I mean come on – Friday is October 1st!
Okay, I had to get that complaint off my chest. In other news, I’ve been writing like a maniac, I’ve been busy with family-type stuff and that in turn causes me to neglect this blog. I’m sorry. I vow to be a better blogger. Vow I say!
How’s the weather in your neck of the woods? How are YOU in general? Let me know. I’m curious.

Wasn’t it Elizabeth Taylor who said in regards to her vast love life that the best part about falling in love was the falling part?
She should’ve been a romance author.
I think I’m going to sound like a complete lunatic but I don’t care. I gotta throw it out there.
Sometimes I create a particular hero in my own little mind that I end up falling madly in love with. Yes, a fictional character who doesn’t exist anywhere but in my head (and eventually in the book which hopefully will sell and then readers get to fall in love with him too).
This happened with Austin from Forbidden. Oh, how I fell in looove with hiiim. I wrote his story in two weeks. It was as if he whispered in my ear the entire time I was writing and it was pure bliss. I haven’t felt that high and in love with a hero since.
(I want to say that I always give my all with every story and I don’t think my falling in love with the occasional hero means that all the rest of my heroes suck. Definitely not. I love all the characters I’ve written. But yeah, when I do fall madly in love with the hero? The story does benefit. I cannot tell a lie)
It’s finally happened again and I’m there. I am In. Mad. Love. with my current hero. And he only came to me hmmm…last Friday? Thursday maybe? I don’t know but he’s pushing me hard to keep writing and it’s this super seekrit project that I haven’t told anyone about except my agent (oh yeah and my husband). I wrote the first three chapters in three days. I sent them to my agent Tuesday and she already read them and with a few suggested tweaks, she said she likes them and wants me to continue. Wheeee…
But I digress.
I don’t quite get why the occasional hero will really get to me. It just…happens and oh man, when it does, I feel positively giddy. I act like a fool in love. I fall asleep thinking about them (him). I wake up thinking about them (him). I sometimes even dream about them. It’s rather obsessive but when I am in that frame of mind, when they are consuming me I go with it. The words pour out and I’m so wrapped up I have a hard time breaking out of it.
It helps when you have visual assistance.
Meet my new boyfriend Henry Cavill. Good LORD he is gorgeous. And this isn’t even the picture that sends me over the edge. I’m holding on to that one like I don’t want to share it or something. Not that this picture is bad…seriously he doesn’t take a bad picture. And his voice. Dreamy…
I’m warning you now be prepared for more Henry photos because he is just too delicious to be ignored. And he’s so young! God, I feel like such a cougar and I hate that term with a burning hot passion.
Okay I gotta go. A certain hero is calling my name asking me to write his story. And I’m more than happy to oblige…

Why have I never heard of this before? We used to have a Krispy Kreme but they grew too big for their britches and expanded too fast and then our local store closed. Which makes me sad because the occasional Krispy Kreme doughnut is good for the soul.
So instead of eating a doughnut I will be dreaming of them like my friend Homer. Mmm…doughtnuts…*drool*
Happy Friday!

I’m visiting him today. Now, I am one of those people with a (slight – okay more than slight but not major) fear of the dentist. I think it all started when I was about eight and my dentist gave me a shot before giving me a filling. Well, he hit a nerve and I swear my mouth was numb for hours and hours. He even knew he hit a nerve or some such crap because he said something about it to the assistant, like laughing about it. Jerk.
Then years later my orthodontist noticed I had a loose tooth. He proceeded to reach into my mouth and yank it out – and it wasn’t necessarily in yankable condition yet. That hurt like a mother. Crazy old man (he was the top dog orthodontist in town too – I’d see practically my entire junior high class in there when I went for an appointment).
Anywho, my current dentist is nice and kind and I like everyone that works there. They don’t make me feel guilty if I don’t go every six months (well except Helen the receptionist kinda does – she’s like that grandma that speaks in the low, sweet voice and gives you grief and you don’t even realize it until you hang up the phone or walk away from her).
But he does make me feel guilty if I don’t floss. So take THAT Doctor Dentist! I have been flossing like a crazy woman for the last six months! HA! No more flossing guilt trips!
If he says anything about my lack of flossing I’m gonna flip. Just FYI.
What are you up to this fine Wednesday?
