Mind over Matter - Wed, 10 Mar 2010

You ever notice how your body reacts to certain stresses or stimuli? For me, when I feel particularly fretful and stressed, I get flushed and hot and have stomach cramps. This type of reaction is called psychosomatic. It means your mind affects your body. That can go for good reactions too. There are events or [...]

Writing Smut - Tue, 09 Mar 2010

Whether you’ve been around the romance writers circuit for awhile or not, most romance writers draw a line in the sand between what they write and porn. Recently, I’ve come across a particular writer that I’m very interested in watching. She’s writing very short stories (3K or so) and last month alone she had three releases. From [...]

Finding Romance - Fri, 05 Mar 2010

Finding romance can be difficult to do in today’s busy society. when you work full time, come home to a dirty house, fighting children, and a cranky husband, do you really feel like romancing?

I must have been familiar with if even before then somehow, because the only parts of the book that were kind of strange were the [...]

Writing is not a recipe…or IS it? - Wed, 24 Feb 2010

So, I’m cooking this wonderful recipe by my good friend, Crissy Olinger, and it is a recipe foreign to me.
