Thanks for the show of support, girls, here and through private emails. I just know most of you are sensible, well-adjusted females who enjoy a good laugh and a good-looking guy without getting your panties all scrunched up about bad jokes and inappropriate behavior! Sometimes I feel that people don't understand "fun" means just that--fun. And going to conventions is all about that, whether it's a convention for romance authors or for roofers (yes, there's actually one for roofers!)
Once upon a time, when I was in Las Vegas, I picked up a badge that fell off someone, plastered it on my chest, and went into a convention meeting. Okay, so it was wrong, but that was MY idea of fun instead of gambling and losing my $$$. The badge clearly said Dr. So and So, Something and something Society of Holistic Health, Protologist. Gulp. Well, my first thought was, what would a bunch of butt-doctors talk about for an hour?
Yes, I know. My idea of fun is detective work. So, anyway, I went in search of people wearing these badges and followed them into a seminar. And sat through two hours learning about colon irrigation. Holy shit (pun intended)! It was riveting. LOL. I've never seen so many pictures of...let's just say, I don't want to come back to be a proctologist that does colon irrigation.
And no, I didn't feel like hugging any of them at the end of the session. But then, they didn't look anything like THEM. Also click on MAIN PAGE to see streaming video. Seriously, would you and a few girlfriends pay $150 for that kind of fun? Seriously....
I also received an email requesting that I write about writing sometimes, and not just tongue-in-cheek. It was a nice email, but I have to say that even if I wanted to, I wouldn't even know where to start. I mean, it's not as if I'm giving a class, with interactive student, where I can say, okay, peoples, we start with characters and how to layer them this week. Heh. But I suppose, if any of you are interested, you can pose a writing question in the comment area, and I'll answer it as best as I can. But with the stipulation that I can't promise that I'll make sense, LOL.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog. You pictures make me smile, and you commentary and writing make me laugh as well.
I don't know who this woman is who is complaining, but she must secretly gain pleasure from your blog, because she keeps coming back. And i imagine she is jealous or of the stalker variety. If she were truly unhappy, she could just stop coming to the webpage, it is not as if you are pushing your blog on her.
Keep on writing, wroofing, and posting pics, because I for one enjoy visiting your blog.
How about a research question? Like, where do you find all these pictures?!? And how do you keep your mind on the story and off those NUMMY men?!? Seriously! ;>
You could teach a class on your characters and "Facing your inner fears". I watched you do it and I thought you did such a fabulous job.
Thank you, vanityball! It's good to know that people are enjoying the blog ;-). I started it as a way to connect with my readers and also to get more readers in between books, so I'm glad I'm achieving this goal.
Kathleen,
I get the pictures from YEARS of collecting stuff ;-). Also, haven't you notice, I love to take photos. The digital camera is the coolest invention ever. As for taking my mind of nummy men...do I ever?!
Sadista,
Arrck, you knew how nervous I was giving that workshop! I guess it was sort of interesting to connect facing my fears with FACING FEAR, though.
Just wanted to tell you I enjoy your writing. I only recently discovered your work.
SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY and INTO DANGER are the books I've read, so far.I look forward to reading more:)
I can't imagine that you really care about other people's disapproval. Mostly it's about their hang-ups, and has little to do with you anyway(that's my experience with the bitchin'and moanin' types). I'd just ignore future negative comments. Anyone who can't be bothered to express their opinions clearly with accurate spelling doesn't deserve your attention or your time.ha Just my two cents;>
I'll visit again.
Thank you .
ROFL!!
Genn, are you for real? This is too funny!
Hi Shan,
Welcome! Into Danger was my first published book and very dear to my heart ;-).
As for my anonymous email, well, I wanted to share my puzzlement with y'all.
Hey, Laur,
You find my attending a seminar about shit funny????! Huh? There's nothing funny about bowel movements, let me tell you.
