Walking My Talk

E-gads! Here it is 5 days after I just wrote that I needed to WRITE everyday! That's the problem. You know what they say about "good intentions," don't you?  Well, that road is well marked with orange cones at the moment...slow for the Cone Zone!  All kinds of thoughts are gurgling around in this noggin of mine. And, of no coincidence I'm sure, is the fact that I watched 'The Secret' last night. Much or most of it I had heard or read before. You have to first THINK about what you want, not worry about the 'details' and then go for it! The details will work out themselves! I've been so concerned with "what if so and so says, "hey! you're writing about me!" and then sues me? I'm a terrible liar. If someone asks: "was that about me?" I need to come up with a 'pat' answer that won't get me in trouble or reveal too much! I can emblish and morph two characters into one, or even more traits of those ghosts of the past (or my friend's or relatives' past) into a current character, right? Right! I can do ANYTHING I want as long as I am not hurting anyone (intentionally). So, my next endeavor is to "schedule" -- yeah, got that right -- schedule -- writing time on my calendar! That feels like "scheduling" a date with your man! What happened to spontaneity? You know -- stream of consciousness, sit down (have a glass of wine), and just write?  OK. That's it. I'm doing it. And I'm putting my "desire" out to YOU...out to The Universe: I want your sweetest temptations! I'm tellin' ya...that will help prime the pump and stir creative juices in this 'ripe' WineGirl!

Writing Habit Should be Just Like Clockwork!

I realize that if I ever want to write, I'd better get to writing. Just anything. Just something. Every day. Like anything else it requires discipline and that seems to be something I struggle with at times -- well, alot, truth be known. But this will be different I tell myself.

This is FUN! This is like a diary in e-space that I can share as I wish. The weird part is the fact that it is so anonymous and you have no idea who really takes a peak or who really even gives a shit. Stats don't lie ;-)...just kidding.

Anyway, a girlfriend told me tonight she was my first  blog"friend". I felt so privileged! Now I know why MySpace caught on.

I'm still kinda stirring around some thoughts for various scenarios in the book. The next part will be commiting them to the memory of a computer. And beyond that one can only imagine...........??

I'm officially a "Chick Litter"

Yay! I got an e-mail from Erika today telling me that my blog was accepted onto her "Chick Lit Chicks" site! How cool is that?? I feel particularly proud and honored since not all are accepted! I still feel like I'm floundering out here a bit, not knowing what to say or even who to say it "to"...but I'm hoping as each day passes, I'll get more comfortable with the blogging world and in no time flat, it will (hopefully) become second nature -- you know, just like when you first learned how to use a "mouse" with your computer!

Still waiting for comments...ho hum...;-) .... what? No one lives a spicy life? No one wants to talk about it anonymously? Oh well. Tomorrow's another day...in the mean time, I will conjure up some fantasies of my own Wink!

Chick Lit Blogs

I found a pretty cool site tonight called 'Chick Lit Chicks' -- with a whole list of different 'chick blogs'! Pretty entertaining, actually. If there are others that you know of to steer me to, please DO! I am brand spankin' new to those whole blog thing, but I'm trying!

What's YOUR Sweetest Temptation?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....exhale.....think about what your 'sweetest' temptation(s) might be?? I am attempting to gather ideas and material for a book/series of books I've been longing to write for quite some time. I have lots of material already gathered from years of journal writing, but I'm only one person and would like to hear from the rest of the world what their particular situation is/was and what their experiences are/have been! The genre would most likely be "chick lit", but knowing me, probably spicier, and borderline erotica. I want to know what people (women, in particular) of all ages are doing out there to make their pulse race a little faster, daydream a little longer, and generally "spice" up their lives! How do you create and live out some of these wild fantasies? Is part of the intruigue the proverbial "forbiden fruit"? Remember, it's the internet. Write with wild abandon. Tease those temptations out of your head and onto this site! No one has to know who writes what and you can merely identify yourself with just an "initial", or for that matter, a "pet name". Oh, I can hardly wait to get started!
