Looking for answers

I want a magazine that refuses advertisements that use these deceptive dollbaby images. I want models who don’t look like lollipops. I want Hannah Montana to stop grinding her hips when she dances in front of an audience of 9-year-olds. What do you want from the worlds of fashion and entertainment? To balance out my [...]

Winning weekend

This is going to be a quick entry to start the week. I feel like I have one hundred bazillion things to do and not enough hours in which to do them. That’s the bad news. The good news is I had a fantastic, energizing weekend and I am chomping at the bit. The Mexico [...]

That balanced life of awareness, intention, hard work, and fun is on the horizon! I am almost through the brainstorming draft of my new YA. This is the fast and dirty draft: [...]

“I don’t want to leave!” the author whined.

Book Tour Day 9 Report, Short Version

It is 10:15 pm and I am eating my dinner in my hotel room, preparing to go to bed. Why? Because I have to be up at 3:30am to catch the 4am shuttle for an obscenely early flight that is completely necessary if I am going to make all of my events in Houston tomorrow. [...]

My food quirk of the moment? Straight wasabi paste on baby carrots. Do you know about Library Thing? (Thank you mikigarrison for pointing it out. [...]
