Welcome to 2008 and to my blog. (Some of you may be visiting for the first time, I know!) If you’ve come from Jacqueline Barbour’s blog, then you already know that I’m in the process of shutting down that blog in favor of this one. If you just happened by for other reasons, the scoop is that I used to…
I don’t read as much as I’d like to. Between husband, kids, house, job, and (most time-consuming of all!) writing, I just don’t seem to have much time left over for reading. But, I did read some pretty good books this year and, as my early Christmas present to you, I want to share. I’m listing these in alphabetical order…
I missed two Mondays running. Bad blogger, bad blogger. But I have good excu…er, reasons. Promise. I’ve been judging contest entries for GOTCHA. It takes time. Lots of time. What do you mean, it’s Monday? Oh, you mean it’s Wednesday? Who authorized that? I’ve been writing like crazy. Really. 10,000+ words in the past week. There’s no Internet access at…
Carnally Yours is on hold for the moment, as I’ve had a bit of a breakthrough on another project. I expect to get back to it and finish it before Christmas, though. It would appear that An Officer and a Jezebel remains the clear favorite as the title for Jack and Callie’s story, so when I get around to posting…
The randomly drawn winner of the titling game sweepstakes is Dawne’. Dawne’, please email me at jackie@jackiebarbosa.com to claim your prize. So, several of you really liked the idea of An Officer and a Jezebel. I have to say, it’s a great play on an existing title, but I’m not sure I’m comfortable with referring to the heroine in the…
I know, it’s late. Sorry! This Friday, the Manuscript Mavens will be playing hostess to Deanna Lee, author and co-founder/co-owner of Cobblestone Press, the publisher of Carnally Ever After. (She’s also my acquiring editor, which means I extra adore her for adoring my book.) In celebration, I’m hosting a little contest here this week. You see, I have an idea…
Not much writing has gotten done in the past week. Between the fires and then the things we did to distract ourselves from them (movies, Disneyland, more movies, dinner out, Chargers game), I haven’t had much time to write. Which means I simply must buckle down this week and finish up Carnally Yours by Sunday. (That’s a tall order, because…
Just a quick post to say the fire threat has abated. Everything that’s still burning is well east of us. Which is bad news for those folks, but good news for us. I just heard George W. Bush has arrived to congratulate himself for not fucking up. I think that constitutes bad news.
No, our house isn’t on fire, although there’s no guarantee it won’t be before the end of the week. That said, the approaching flames combined with having all three kids home (and trapped in the house all day) since Monday is definitely interfering with my mojo.
