Welcome to my blog! Why should you keep reading, you may ask? Because I am super interesting, of course! I'm writing to document my quest to be a published author and what could be more interesting (or funny) than that? Right?! That's what I thought.

Lots of great things come in halves:
Pizza, because I tend to eat too much if I have a whole one to start with
Limes, just because
Glasses of water for your dentures (does this really need an explanation?)
Avacodos, because you can’t see that bally thing otherwise:
And lastly, this ticker:
Why the ticker? Because it’s my goal counter for the first draft of VINTAGE. Woot-woot! I’m on the downward slope and there is light at the end of the tunnel finally! Yay!
So, seeing as how I’m new at this whole writing bit and all, there have been various things that have happened that I didn’t expect.
Here is the one that hit me in the last day or so: I don’t want the twist revelations to happen.
I have SO much fun building the suspense, tension, mystery, etc. that I don’t want it to end. I mean, I have a bunch of twists and turns to still come about, but this was the first biggie that I’ve hit. I didn’t write it for days because I just didn’t want to. Isn’t that silly? I’ll never finish a book if I don’t, you know, write it. :/
That’s it.
You were expecting something mind-blowing, weren’t you? Sorry to disappoint. ;-)
So, you know my fabulous writing weekend I was talking about? Well… (the other) Amanda and I got iced in before we even left Georgia. As to avoid this:
we decided to cut our loses and stay home. There will be tears tonight once it all sinks in, I promise. At least the other three made it okay and will have a good time. Make a toast for us, ladies!
Stupid, stinking, winter.
Oh yes, it’s finally time! This weekend, I’m heading up to Gatlinburg, TN with a few of my fantabulous writerly friends, Regan, Krista, Jenn, and (the other) Amanda. I know when people think of girls having a weekend long sleepover, they think it’s going to be all:
But really, let’s all be honest. A bunch of women, away from their day jobs and responsibilities? It will definitely be more like:
This is where we are staying:
Jealous yet? Eep! I’m so excited! AND they are calling for a lot of snow. It will be so perfect! Be ready for a barrage of pictures and we may even get wacky and post a video. Ya just never know! :-P
Why, yes! Yes, I do!
Do you have anything else you’d like to know? I signed up for my own Formspring page! Woot! You can ask me anything you want and you can even do it anonymously. However, I won’t answer anything inappropriate, ya weirdos.
And I also have some exciting news (for me). I’m closing in on the half-way mark with my current WIP (the first draft, anyway). YAY!!!! And I’m finally figuring out some of the plot elements that were eluding me, so that’s a happy place for me.
And, in less than three days, I will be in the mountains with four other writerly friends for an all girls, kick booty, writing weekend. I can’t WAIT! Be prepared for pictures, silliness, and all around insanity. Hopefully, we will actually get some writing done. I need to focus.
Oh my goodness…that hurts my eyes so badly.
This is the stupidest video ever and I TRIED not to laugh. But I failed. Miserably.
This month’s blog chain (absolutewrite.com) is to list guilty pleasures. So now you get to see into my soul. And I was going to have these cute pictures, but the formatting is going all wonky. :(
Yep. I can’t help it. I won’t even begin to try and explain it because you either get it or you don’t, but yeah. Love it.

I have an INSANE sweet tooth and I wish I still had the metabolism of my teenage self to compensate for it. Sadly…I don’t. So. That sucks.
No, not Survivor. Couldn’t really get into that. Give me American Idol, Project Runway, Big Brother (it is SO not summer without Big Brother), or America’s Next Top Model any day of the week. I just love seeing people’s dreams come true. Well, not counting Big Brother. I just loves me some drama. ;-)
My name is Amanda and I’m a Targetholic. I could spend hours in there and leave totally fulfilled, even with an empty cart. I seriously get a Target high. LOVE that store. Too bad their return policy stinks. But I can’t break the habit! I get the shakes if I go too long without a fix. And at Christmas time? *sigh*
