This morning my dream was realized. Well, almost anyway. I was floating in that not awake-not asleep haze that I’m usually in at a quarter to five. Then my phone dinged. Bleary-eyed, I picked it up and hit the button to check my email. And there it was… a reply about my submission to Pink Petal Books.
The moment wasn’t one of those clearly etched in your mind moments. I was still kinda partly asleep after all. However, I did draw a breath reminding myself that there was every possibility that Shifting Winds would be rejected. It happens. It’s happened to me with Silver Lining....

It’s hot and sticky in my house. I wish the only hot and sticky I had was umm… well, you know. Yes, that’s right, pecan rolls fresh from the oven. Hee hee. Since it’s a humpday, and I usually like to drench you all with hotties, I thought I’d start out with a little video that is NSFW… neither the photos nor the song. But it’s a cute and naughty video…
Next up for you I have, not Tracy James, but another hottie. I’m sure Gooster will like him even if he doesn’t like him as much as Tracy James – with or without Yoo Hoo. This is...

Today is the last day of my vacation, and it’s the day I get off in place of my birthday since I can’t take my birthday off. When you work in Accounting, the last day of the month is sacred. I usually, don’t like taking time off. However, I have to say that this felt really good. Naps in the afternoon, getting up when I want (which was either 4 am or 7 am), and just being able to knock out the novella I needed to write was great. I truly envy those writers who don’t work outside the home. This is the first time ever that I’ve been left with the feeling of “More,...

Happy Humpday beautiful people! I have a couple of things to say and then I will leave you with some hotness. First up, I reposted Can Vampires Be Gay over at Lex Valentine’s blog. If you haven’t read this story that is based on something that happened to Miss Britt, hop on over and give it a read. It’s a very timely story in view of Prop 8 here in California.
I’m also still pimping my Halloween Flash Fiction. There’s The Green Lady which is based on a true cemetery ghost story. Beware! This story features throbbing vampire cock! Also, I have a second Halloween Flash...

‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You’re a slave to money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the veins meet yeah
I love that song by the Verve. They were kind of a one hit wonder with it, don’t you think? The lyrics are pretty true though for someone like me who lives paycheck to paycheck and is ever at the mercy of a landlord. I have a week’s reprieve. We’ll see how things go next weekend. Meanwhile, the lyrics still hold true....

Vampire cock is the sum total of my social commentary on the world this week. I’m stressed out by something here at home, under a tremendous amount of pressure because of it, and am facing the possibility of homelessness yet again because of it. (Why this shit always happens around my birthday is a karmic fuck you that I will never understand. I’m not a bad person, really!) Yet I am trying to remain cool and focused and I’m totally distracting myself with bullshit left and right so I don’t break into tiny little pieces. Throbbing vampire cock is one way to distract myself.
I...

Yesterday, I had brunch with Snackiepoo and Dickiemaxx. We went to Mimi’s which has great food. It was a lot of fun meeting the gays, and I always enjoy hanging out with Snackiepoo. Motley wore her Socially Dead tanktop, which is kinda tight in the boob area. It was nice day weatherwise, and just an all around excellent afternoon!
Now, here’s that meme I snagged from Kapgar. Afterward, we’ll have a little Marcus!
The Rule: Answer the questions using only one word.

3. Your hair? Long
4. Your mother? Dead

I promised Gooster more Tracy James. So today’s humpday hotness is… Tracy James. Also, I want to thank everyone who has already commented on my Halloween story. Even if I’m not one of the five stories with the most comments, I appreciate the support of everyone who took the time to go there.
I wonder sometimes if anyone other than myself really understands this urge that drives me to write and see it published. With my birthday only a few weeks away, I can honestly say that I feel really paranoid. I have this frenetic drive to make it happen. I feel like I’m running out...

I don’t like to ask for things, but today I’m going to ask for a little assistance. I entered a contest yesterday. A writing contest. Flash fiction, 500 word maximum, Halloween theme. (Okay, mine’s a little naughty too.) The five entries with the most positive comments will be forwarded to the publisher of eXtasy books for judging. So, I’m gonna swallow my pride and ask you all to stop by and leave a comment on my entry. The blog is called Seven Wicked Authors and my entry is The Green Lady by Lex Valentine. I sincerely appreciate all your support. Oh, and for all the ladies...

Over on LexValentine.com I talked about world building and how I ended up doing that through Twitter and Yahoo Instant Messenger. Over here, I wanna talk about the people. I touched on it a little over there but what I blog about there is the mechanics of writing. Here I like to show off my characters and focus on people. The world where my characters live is called the Darkworld. Sometimes, the things that happen there are like a twisted fairytale. (Remember Fractured Fairy Tales? Anyone old enough?)
So in the first novella of the series, Max the Pixie Prince finds a mattress and his mate. You...

Here’s how my week went:
Exhausted from so much writing in such a short space of time
Inability to concentrate on jack
Fiddled with videos
Read some books
Had one of my most favorite people at work retire
Had a bunch of things at work contrive to keep me from staying on schedule with month end
Stressed at the office and stretched to the max in terms of ability to roll with the punches
Worried about all kinds of stuff I can’t even begin to list here
Tried to keep up on all the author related loops
Tried to catch up on reading the blogs in my feed reader
Stressed over the sim going down...
