This site, cassettefrommyex.com, describes itself: They were into you, so they made you a tape. Today you don’t have a cassette player, but you still can’t toss that mix. We share the stories and the soundtrack to your earliest loves. It sounds so cheesy, but when you go there, read the stories about how the tape came to be, it sort of sucks you in.  And it must do that to more than just me, because there’s an upcoming book. I think the best part is there’s even a track list.  That and it reminds you of those mix tapes you made and received.  Also,Read More →

Okay, this isn’t a well-researched, in-depth look at love or romance or…well, anything.  I’m writing, give me a break.  You don’t tell the muse, “Not now, honey.  I’m busy writing this blog.”  You can totally tell your husband that, but not your muse.  That chick is vindictive and might not show up again for six months.  *I know*. So, for your enjoyment, a very extensive list of endearments for your sweetheart.Read More →

This is not an amusing joke, like Zombie Harmony. This is real, serious research, people. What if zombies were real? What would we have to do to stop the spreading of this “infectious disease?” Some nuggets of wisdom.  You know, just in case. Professor Robert Smith? (the question mark is part of his surname and not a typographical mistake) and colleagues wrote: “We model a zombie attack using biological assumptions based on popular zombie movies. Okay, well, as long as it’s based on biological assumptions garnered watching movies. To give the living a fighting chance, the researchers chose “classic” slow-moving zombies as our opponents ratherRead More →

I think that I’ve outgrown pop quizzes.  They were all about doing something fun and delving into different aspects of romance, but they were more flash than substance.  Also, while completely random and silly, they were still personal, in that they were about me.  And why do you care if I kiss like a woman or what movie my love life is like? So, from now on, Saturdays will be the day that I discuss romance*.  Sometimes it’ll be something one could incorporate into their writing, or it might be inappropriately amusing, or it might be kind of touching, or… you know what?  We’ll justRead More →

It’s called texts from last night.    And, there’s some seriously wrong texts there.  So, if you’re at work, or your kid is looking over your shoulder, or your grandma, or you think semen or queefs are gross, or you even need to look up the word, queef, don’t go there and be mad at me. How is this related to romance or writing in any way?  It’s not.  It just makes me laugh.  And it’s link licker Thursday!Read More →

She’s my new BFF.  Well, if by BFF one means a person who has no idea that *I* exist, but I’ve spent 19 pages so far reading her every thought and act and added in her comments section that I was totally devoted to following her anywhere, but not in a scary stalker way.  Seriously.  She’s awesome. The Bloggess The Bloggess on Twitter The Bloggess on Facebook (Not to be confused with Thel Boggess, who I’m sure is a very lovely person, but probably not as funny.) Read.  Laugh until you nearly pee yourself.  Repeat.Read More →

In my new manuscript, my heroine is a romance writer with a list of ten characteristics she expects her heroes to live up to.  I think she uses it a little bit for a personal measuring stick as well.  Anyway, for your reading pleasure: Skye’s Ten Traits of a Hero Always keeps his word/promises. Respects the heroine as an individual with intelligence and many other ass-kicking qualities. He loves her brand of crazy. Once they begin their own mating dance–even if it involves slammed doors and acidic wit–he doesn’t/can’t sleep with another woman.  If he does, he finds the experience hollow and unsatisfying. Even ifRead More →
