Sam and Del -2- "I'm in Trouble Now" on Patreon

"Is that short for Samantha?" the policewoman asked while writing on her tablet.

I stared at her. "No, it's short for Samson." I might have put the teensiest bit of snark in my voice.

Butterscotch -12- Home - Free on Patreon

Can Kissy go home and back to being Davey?

“I want you to take me home,” I told her.

She nodded.

“Mom is going out with friends, and if I get home before her, I’ll have time to get all—get rid of all this—stuff. And go back to being D-davey.”

She shook her head and pulled me against her. “You can’t,” she said.

I flared. “The hell I can’t,” pushing her away, or trying to. “You can’t make me do anything I don’t want to do.”

Moxie (Texas Belles Sequel)

Author: 

The blurb asks if Ayumi can do it again, create a J-Pop sensation with a brand new band.

Well, Melanie Brown certainly can!

Moxie, the sequel to Texas Belles is on Kindle, the story of the beautiful bass player who used to be a boy. It'll take all of her grit, determination, skills and Moxie to make a success of her new band of misfits, malcontents and rejects.

I need my space!

...between paragraphs, that is.

Reading on-screen is different than reading on a page but any large block of text can be difficult to read if the eye cannot find an anchor point to return to when it reaches the end of a line.

Since HTML removes the indents at the beginning of paragraphs, the online standard has become to put a blank line between paragraphs. Or at least, a blank line every few lines (a la Maddy Bell) if the lines are short.

The Theory of Tuesdays

Science and Dan O'Neil both explain that Tuesday afternoon is the most productive time of the week. No one wants to work on Friday or Monday or any morning at all for that matter. And Thursday afternoon is taken up making plans for Friday; you can't get things done on Wednesday because that's Hump Day, for gosh sakes.

That leaves only Tuesday afternoon, you're awake and rested from the weekend, Friday is far enough away you can pretend you have plenty of time to make plans and you need room on your desk to eat your Hoagie so you might as well do some work.

Paragraph

Got up this morning with a paragraph in my head. Finally had to write it down.

Sanford was one of those guys. You know, the ones who can eat anything they want, as much as they want and never gain an ounce. The ones who look great in casual clothes or a tailored suit or just your imagination. Of course, he got up every morning before dawn, did his stretches and ran two miles before breakfast. Yeah, one of those guys.

Obviously, I'm one of those gals who get up in the morning with a paragraph stuck in their head. :)

Midnight toast

When I've fallen asleep in the early evening because I'm ill, I usually wake around midnight and what I want is some toast.


Midnight Toast

This is how I made my toast:

A thick slice of square, organic sourdough which I spread lightly with brown mustard.

A scallion (green onion), chopped as fine as I cared to and distributed on the bread.

New Chapter of my Regency Romance - His Inconstant Desire

I'll be posting my new chapter, #8 Cold, Rain and Breakfast, tomorrow as soon as I have let it cool off so I can edit it.

Sorry it's been so long but I have been sick for about 5 weeks. Went to the doctor today and he offered to X-Ray my head to see if there's anything in there, but I told him I didn't want to know that bad. Otherwise, I'm much better so it's back to work.

Hugs,
Erin

THANK YOU!

Author: 

THANK YOU ALL!

We made the goal an hour ago and covered our debt with the bank and a bit left over. Thanks to all the generous people who contributed, it makes us tearful and glad that we have so many friends.

The $2125 is enough for a bit of a cushion as we know there is one more bill out there that may hit before we get other monies coming in at the end of the month.

We still have our ordinary January bills ahead of us, so if you want to contribute, here's the link again:

EMERGENCY - Funds Needed Today!

Author: 

We need money today to prevent an overdraft. Two bills that were not supposed to hit our accounts until after the first hit today and we are overdrafted, we need about $1900 to prevent hundreds of dollars of overdraft fees.

Please, if you can help, today would be the day to do it.

Thanks,

His Inconstant Desire - New Chapter Posted

Connie's humiliation continues as she is dressed in feminine finery by her step-mother and sister.

But what are her father's plans for his new daughter?

And what of Connie's friends back at school, have they heard what really happened?

The story is beginning to wrap on layers of complexity, much like the three petticoats they put Connie in. :)
