Techno Savvy I Am Not!!!

As some of you may or may not know, I have been helping out on a friends blog while he is ill... It is drama central as I can't get the posts to look right... I seem to always have major spacing issues over there. It took me nearly two hours to do the post today.


I have just been rambling on about my favourite MM books I have so many that I like to share with everyone and he has the blog space to do it on.

So if anyone needs an M/M book reviewed you can send it to me Or Randy and he will get straight onto it.

If any one is interested in promoting their books on my Blog feel free to leave me contact details and I can get back to you on when  and what you would like to blog, I am a M/M author but I don't mind posting the occasional M/F or F/F or M/M/F or F/F/M (You get the picture).

I don't really have anything to talk about today so I just thought I would fill you in on what I am doing aside from my own stuff...

Oh To Be Fit & Flexible.

If I was able to do this and not freak out in fear of falling and/or hurting myself, this is the one sport that I would really like to do. For some reason this ability truly amazes me, and I just sit back and watch and think WOW!!! I so want to write a story where one of my characters does this. So sit back and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Parkour & Freerunning...

5 Things That Piss Me Off In Writing

Okay, I woke up at midnight last night I couldn't turn my brain off and the more I thought about writing there were more and more things that just pissed me off. So I thought I would share.

1- The major one is language barriers between Australian English and American English. - Seriously I think you guys need to think about joining us, (mainly so I don't keep screwing it up). in two of my stories I have both an Aussie and an American main character - So what version am I supposed to write it in. Because I know my editor will kick my arse if I use both.

2- Why do people think they can write your story better than you? and I am not talking other authors or editors - I am talking family and friends. How many times I have heard "I liked it, but I would have written it like this." On: One Last Kiss Goodbye (Title still in thought.) I have a friend tell me exactly how it was going to end and proceeded to tell me - I was like well hang on now, I am writing it and I don't know where it is headed so how can you? (By the way I am 7K into the story).

3- Why is it every time I receive edits it ends up going back to the editor with way more words? The Lines of Marsden: Rules Are Meant To Be Broken, went back to my MLR editor with nearly 4K extra. I don't understand when I reword things I end up like doubling the sentence. Somehow I think my editor is pulling her hair out right about now - (Does it help if I say sorry, Kimberly.)

4- Why is it I am so bad at promoting? Actually it's not that I am bad at it I just forget to do it. Though I did remember to promo Toowoomba Boys 2: Hunting for Clay on Talking Two Lips Yahoo site - check it out if you have time. There are such great excerpts going on there take a look at what is coming out.

5- This is another thing I hate and I do it oh so often  - Why the hell do I keep losing my notes? Why can't I be more professional and keep them all in the same place? I even lose them on the computer sometimes because I can never remember where I save them to. I spend so much time trying to track them down.
