Instead of focusing on my writing, I suddenly found myself sitting here daydreaming. I was thinking about writing a hawt story about an adult Pinocchio.
And everytime he told a fib, he’d get a woodie.
Needless to say, by the end of the story his girlfriend has turned him into a pathological liar.
Somebody’s been writing waaay too much erotica. :whistle:
I’m blogging at the CHICAS site today. Please join us! :)
I’m about two-thirds of the way through the current wip. It’s starting to move along again, and I THINK I know where it’s going. This is a good thing. And I’ve already figured that it’ll have to be at least a two booker, maybe three. So, knowing what I’m facing is at least half the battle.
But there’s certainly something daunting about realizing you’re going to write something that long, especially when the end of the first book is just coming into sight! Geez, what if the characters quit on me? What if I can’t maintain the interest or tension? What if it takes so durn long to finish and it’s so far in the future people don’t READ anymore, just use telepathy or holograms to tell their stories?! 
Ya just gotta love being a writer, lol.
It’s a terrific excuse for insanity. 
I think I’ve been away from the WIP for so long I’m having trouble picking up the threads. And the freaking characters are sulking because I left them alone for so long.
It’d serve ‘em right if I just moved on to something new.
There must be a paranormal creature I haven’t written yet.
Broadcast journalist and anchorman Walter Cronkite was more than a familiar face to the people who watched him.
He was a newsman that could be counted on. He was voted the most trusted man in America. He was the man who delivered the news during one of the most tempestuous eras of American history. From World War II through the Civil Rights era to the assassinations of both Kennedys and King to the lunar landing and the resignation of Nixon, he covered the stories with dignity and impariality.
And one day, when Walter Cronkite actually stood up from his desk—STOOD UP—and frankly told the American people that we were losing the war in Vietnam and went on to explain why, the entire country sat up and took notice. And listened.
My favorite memory of Cronkite was an interview he did. He was being urged to run for President, which made him smile as he tactfully declined. And then he smirked. “People would be surprised by some of my beliefs,” he said, refusing to say more.
From that moment on, I always suspected Uncle Waltie was secretly some sort of evil genius, hiding behind that elder statesman veneer and plotting to take over the world. And I loved him for it, lol. How totally cool would that have been? :love:
Rest easy, Mr. Cronkite, knowing you had the love and respect of the entire country.
Good night.
Final line edits are DONE!!
WOOT!! 
All that’s left to do is pick a couple of excerpts, say a prayer to the Cover Gods—oh, and blog at the CHICAS site today.

For those of us who can’t make (turn green at the idea of) the BIG CONFERENCE held this time every year, PBW has, once again, come to the rescue with her LEFT BEHIND AND LOVING IT on-line workshops.
With loads of ideas and advice on craft, construction, and dealing with the writing business, you’d be hard-pressed to do better at any conference available. No delayed flights, no cavity searches at the airport, and ALL (gasp!) are welcome, digital and print.
Go there!!
I may be MIA for a couple of days, immersed in final line edits.
Please send oxygen mask, dark glasses, tons of coffee, and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
