Contemplation
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009For sometime now I’ve been thinking on some things. Working my way to some decisions I need to make.
My friends and family will tell you before I make any important decisions I think it through. I might already have an instinctive response on what I want to do but before I leap I weigh the pro and cons. I have to have it all clear in my mind before I make a decision. After I do all my thinking and then I make a choice if I agree then I am full steam ahead. And I get intensely focused to make whatever I’m doing work.
For example when I write a book based on a theme for one of my publishers I work out how this would work and if it is something I want to do. If I decided to then I get into my research frame of mind. Then I get down and ready to write. On the other hand if I don’t then I let it go as not for me. Another example is various joint authored projects I’ve done. I’ve been on both spectrums of partnerships. Ones that work and others where you have to let go. Working with a writing partner is interesting and when it works it can be an adrenaline rush. Ideas coming on fast. You and your writing partner melding is a dynamic mind blowing thing. I love working of those sort of projects. Then there can be those times when it just doesn’t work and you need to walk away before it gets to the point of no return. In both my examples I thought of what I would or would not do. Made decisions that shaped something else.
Each step causes an effect. Good, bad or indifferent something happens based on choices you make. Of course there is no way to know which way the effect will go. That is beyond anyone control but at least when I make a clear decision I can accept whatever may come of what I decided.
I’m at the stage of weigh the pros and cons. Have been for sometime. I’m not rushing it because it is to important too. So back to my contemplation.
Snippet Saturday – Dialog
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Today’s snippet theme is Dialog. Enjoy a look from one of my books.
An snippet from God Style Temptation…
Frustrated Aurora screamed. “What the fuck are you?”
He smiled, a nasty little twist of his lips. “Besides the man who saved you pretty little ass from being a popsicle? A god.”
Hearing that Aurora felt fury flash through her. Not stopping to think she headed straight for him. The man’s eyes dropped and he grinned, a devilish quirk of his lips. Realizing she was still naked and he was ogling her Aurora was even angrier. Slowing she added more sway in her hips and watched his eyes light in appreciation. She looked at him and saw his smile widen. Returning his smile she let her hand flash up to deck him. He caught it.
“Uh-huh not that again. You’re such a violent little thing.” The man’s tone was calm.
Ignoring his comment she swung with her other hand. He sighed and caught it too. He raised an eyebrow as if saying “now what”. From how they were standing she estimated he was about six three to her six feet. Jerking her head forward she hit him with it. She felt his nose break, as was her intention. A grim smile curved her lips. He let her go and stepped back. Swinging at him again Aurora found her hand caught. Instinctively she swung with the other. He again caught it then turned her around and pulled them behind her back. Jerking her head back she tried to hit him with her head.
“Shit. Will you calm down?” the man growled.
Straining against his hold Aurora gritted out, “Fuck you, Cupid or Claude or whatever the hell your name is. I have eighty-seven more of those to give you. You mother fu—”
The man sighed and said softly. “I’m not Cupid.”
She stilled and gasped realizing she was plastered against his body. His next word distracted her.
“Although I can relate, why do you want to kick Cupid’s ass?” His tone was matter of fact.
“You’re hurting me. Let me go first.” Aurora demanded although he wasn’t.
He scoffed. “Liar.”
“Let me go.”
“Only if you promise not to hit me again.”
“Fine I won’t hit you again. I only connected twice.” Although it galled her to say it out loud.

A Jell-O day
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Jell-O take me away. Today has been one of those days and I need me some Jell-O one of my comfort things. Those who know me know the quickest way to get me out of a pissy mood or just to make me smile is to give me some Jell-O. And if you want me to get really happy and maybe do a shimmy for you put some whipped cream on it. So I’m about to get me some Jell-O.
