I Love It. I Love It. I Truly, Truly Love It.
Those are the opening lines to the show, and they’ve been pretty much playing in a loop inside my brain for two weeks. I am currently swimming in this show, surrounded in work. The copyeditor’s notes arrived today on the novel. It looks like a completely different language. I have to dive into the novel…

In the Clutch.
Oh, man. It’s already 2003. Sorry I’ve been so absent. I had a good excuse, though. December was just the craziest month. First I was in Vegas, and then I was in Atlanta, and then Houston and then San Francisco, so I really didn’t get even a moment to come here and say hello to…

Serve ’em when you’ve got an hour before the meal, and keep everyone pretty sauced through the Trivial Pursuit game. It’s pretty late, Thanksgiving night, and today I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner. My…

I Miss Money
Yesterday was a very expensive day. The City of Los Angeles wants two years of back business taxes from me, since I work at home. Did you know this? As a writer, you owe money to the city so that you can work at home. I have to file two years of back taxes. Luckily,…
