Breathing Under Water

Night, Blood & Prophecy
I read somewhere that scientist are experimenting to develop ways in which humans can breath under water. Honey, those of us living in the South have been doing it since birth! Don't believe me? Visit the South during the months of July and August when the temperatures are consistently in the 90's and the humidity is 85% or so. It's like living in a steam room.
Of course, I'm not complaining. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. Sizzling temperatures, secluded cold mountain springs and clear night skies provide a lot my creative inspiration. (The clear night skies from my love of science fiction tv. Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Gallactica, Star Trek, etc.)
If you found my blog and haven't visited my website, please take a look. Right now, I'm still working on getting everything up and running, but I did manage to post an excerpt from my erotic novella Lord Night. Good, bad, or indiffernt, let me know what you think. Hopefully, this weekend I'll be able to add some more content, including some more excerpts, links to other authors' sites, and reviews.
Peace, Jessie

Friday NIght Excitement

Wow!

I attended a *party* last night at Maejical Powers, the yahoo group of the very talented Mae-Ann Powers. Megan Hussey of the Playgirl Posse, Playgirl TV was the guest speaker. She is a wonderful lady.

Two major announcements were made last night. One is that Playgirl will be printing an article by Megan on the Phaze authors in December. Be sure to keep an eye out. The second is a proposed anthology featuring Megan and Mae, and through sheer, dumb luck, yours truly was invited to fill a slot in the anthology! (I don't ever question dumb luck, I just flow with it.) I'll keep you posted as the anthology comes together.

On a more subdued note, one of the motorcycles may be sold. Unfortunately, there's just not enough time to ride. But, I'm trying to put a positive spin on it. I'm hoping that by next summer, I'll be able to get the Harley.

Have a nice weekend!

Word Counts

Night, Blood & Prophecy
Why do writers do it? Keep track of every little word they've written? It becomes obsessive, like weighing yourself every morning when you're trying to diet, and just as discouraging. Especially if you're suffering from the dreaded Writer's Block. (Stacey, if you're reading this, I'm only joking.)
So, you write something, anything, to try to get the creative juices flowing again, or you read really bad books and hope the muse inside you gets disgusted enough to make you want to write something better.
Or, you blog....
