Re: Holiday Sparks (9:20pm November 28, 2010):

Romance gives me hope. Especially romance where the heroine is not a beautiful cheerleader, but an ordinary girl who doesn't always realize her own worth. There are plenty of us out there!

But not only do I enjoy reading romance, I enjoy writing it. I love writing that special story which is uniquely mine, and sharing it with the world.

And pie...chocolate creme, cheesecake with whipped cream, and good ol' apple. Mmmmmmm.

Thanks for posting.

Re: Gemini Night (9:13pm November 28, 2010):

As always, I am grateful to stumble upon good writing advice. And this was good advice. And purple prose. Oh yeah I am a repeat offender in my own writing. I have been acused of it many a time. I recently entered a writing challenge (which are great if you are looking to hone your writing skills) where we had to write a short scene containing only one adverb and one adjective. It's not as easy as it sounds. The trick is to beef up your nouns and verbs to achieve the message you are going for. I'm rather glad I entered the contest: I won, but beyond that, I learned some things.

I like romance, but I like romance with style. Which means I enjoy occasional "purple" prose. I also like fantasy and my favorite author is Patricia McKillip. Her lyrical style is beautiful. Just don't overdo it, I suppose.

Thanks for posting this useful article.
