I have my moments . . .
I admit I don’t read all of my Goodread reviews. For one thing, it would be hard to keep up with reviews on twenty books. And besides, there is the author curse to deal with. The curse is this: you…
Continue ReadingThings I learned at the ANWA conference
The reason I haven’t updated this blog lately is not that I wanted to leave the Buy-my-new-romance-novella blog up forever. (Although you should in fact buy it because hey, it’s only 99 cents. What can you find at the dollar…
Continue ReadingA Longtime Crush for Valentine’s Day
Remember, like, three weeks ago when I said I would be putting up a couple of ebooks in a week? Well, that was proof that I’m overly optimistic about my to-do list. You would think that after living with myself for…
Continue ReadingPartying with authors
I’m always up for a party–as long as it is at somebody else’s house. Having a party at my house inevitably means that I have to nag my children for 24 hours straight to pick up their junk, do their jobs, etc.…
Continue ReadingMiddle daughter’s commentary on reading
My teenage daughter–who has been known to go days without emerging from her room–sent me this video to let me know that “this is how she feels sometimes”. I thought I’d share. I lovingly told my middle daughter, that yes, I understand…
Continue ReadingNew Year’s resolutions, revised
Every year I make New Year’s resolutions, and every year I break them. In fact, my usual tradition with my New Year’s resolutions seems to be that around June I get them out and laugh at my naive optimism. So…
Continue ReadingCreepy Christmas gifts–the annual report
It’s that special time of year when random companies send me their catalogs. I don’t know why anyone thinks I might want to buy Meerkat statues, dancing pigs, or dress-able squirrel magnets, but apparently I fit the demographic, because the catalogs keep showing up. Of course, even…
Continue ReadingThe Bad Boy Appeal part 1
I’m deep in revisions, so today my commentary on the Bad Boy phenomena is going to be this very funny music video, called Nice Guys. The first lines are:Nice guys finish last,that’s why I’ll treat you like trash.It’s not what…
Continue ReadingA one question survey while I wait for my ebook to load
Do you know the best time to ask your husband to load your new ebook? Apparently it isn’t 11:00 pm. (Sheesh, morning people.) So I’m hoping that he’ll get Masquerade put up sometime tomorrow, and as soon as it shows…
Continue ReadingThe question I haven’t been asked, and the question that still makes me think
I was hoping to announce a new (well, rewritten) ebook, but that’s still a couple days away, so I’m putting up a question I just answered on the Much Cheaper than Therapy blog. My old writing teacher asked me: What…
Continue ReadingTourist sites: the good, the bad, and the creepy
I just got back from Disneyland and it’s made me think about tourist sites in general and why we pack up our suitcases, pull out our wallets, and head off to see things. Some places are definitely worth the trouble,…
Continue ReadingA lyrics intervention–Train does it again
Long time blog readers know that I started the Enrique Awards–an award for songs with bad pickup lines. (To see the five contending songs for last years award, you can follow this link: http://janette-rallison.blogspot.com/2011/04/vote-for-worst-song-pick-up-lines_26.html This year, Train won hands down (or…
