Here from the barbeque, I love the theme of your blog. I'm also a child of the eighties, a time of great music, big hair, shoulder pads, and great night time soap operas like Dallas and Knot's Landing. Do you remember the "Who killed J.R. sensation???" Anywho, I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Just popping over from the BBQ. Oh Duran Duran...I'd kind of hoped we'd all grown out of that phase. Nice to reminisce sometimes though.

Hey Andrea! Thanks for coming over---nothing like the 80s, huh? Who Killed JR! You know what's funny? I totally remember the sensation but I cannot for the life of me remember who killed JR? They shot alternative scenarios didn't they? Who was it in the end???

No, Bear Monk, you may tell yourself you've grown out of Duran Duran, but that's like saying you don't secretly long for George Michael's big come back. It shall always be a part of you.

Your comment makes me laugh though because in one of the opening lines of my book, even the main character was lying to herself: "By this point, Jen had long shed the more mainstream Journey, Duran Duran, and Wham for the new wave stylings of the Cure, the Smiths, and Echo and the Bunnymen."

Thanks for stopping by from the BBQ!

Well, I'm glad I chose THIS Monday to include the Duran Duran song then. :) Please do hop along---the idea is actually Lisa Sanchez's and I am lucky enough to get to glom on.

Thanks so much for coming over.

Back FROM the Future, Bloghop Extraordinaire

Image
Just when I was in dire need of something to break me out of my funk and get revved up for the new year, along come Suze and M.Pax  with an invitation to co-host a most excellent bloghop adventure!  Enough looking back upon the past that was 2012, we're jumping forward to 2023. Your adventure instructions are here: You're up before dawn on a Saturday when the doorbell rings. You haven't brewed your coffee so you wonder if you imagined the sound. Plonking t he half-filled carafe in the sink, you go to the front door and cautiously swing it open. No one there. As you cast your eyes to the ground, you see a parcel addressed to you ... from you. You scoop it up and haul it inside, sensing something legitimate despite the extreme oddness of the situation. Carefully, you pry it open. Inside is a shoebox -- sent from ten years in the ...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...

July #IWSG

Image
Welcome to July, everybody! Sorry I missed last month. I was out in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee with a bunch of my family. It was so much fun. This was the view from our cabin (that's Gatlinburg down below): I'm making up for my absence last month by co-hosting the IWSG this month! Looking forward to visiting bunches of blogs over the next few days. Get ready for #IWSGPit! On July 19, you'll have the opportunity to pitch your completed and polished manuscript on Twitter. If your pitch receives a favorite/heart from a publisher/agent, that means they've requested a query! See all the details and rules at the IWSG website . Now, on to the  IWSG Optional Question: What are your ultimate writing goals, and how have they changed over time? Goals? What are goals? Just kidding! I've heard of them; I'm just not great about setting them. But I guess my goal when I first started writing was to have fun with it, and that hasn't changed. After...
