Hope you are all ready to celebrate Christmas with your families and friends over the next few days. For us, the season stretches into the New Year, giving us time to spend with everyone.
This year we are taking my folks with us to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. If you have never seen them, I highly recommend the concert. Great music,and a light and pyrotechnic show that draws ages 8-80 together.
Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noel! Feliz Navidad! Happy Hanukkah! And to all, a great day!!!

You Know You're a Writer When. . .
This past weekend my family and I went on a day trip to Roseland Waterpark. (Yes-- I did the 60' water slide that goes 30 MPH. It was awesome! The twisty one was not as fun for me, but I would do the white one again in a heartbeat!)
Before meandering our way through wine country (stopping to get a few bottles from some of our favorites), we went to breakfast at a local diner. As we were leaving, I caught a glimpse of a sign that made me laugh.
It read "We are not responsible for lost articles."
Now, I know it isn't really that funny, but when I turned to my husband and our friend and said, "So, if you lose an a, an, or the, they aren't responsible," it took on a totally new meaning for me, and I thought it was funny.
What signs have you reinterpreted in a different way than they are meant? Share in the comments.

Blueberries and History
This weekend I was supposed to go blueberry picking with my mom, but she wasn't feeling well, so she sent my dad with me. We had a great time picking and chatting. I updated him on my querying, and he updated me on the progress of the '57 Chevy he is restoring and the stories he is working on.
When I started talking to my folks about my writing, my dad told me he had a story idea he was working on. I encouraged him to pursue it (as I would any writer) and he let me look at the first rough draft. And it was rough, just like any writer's first draft. There were no quotations for dialogue, no tags, no new paragraphs. I was stunned-- my dad is very good at grammar and usage, so this surprised me. He also fell into the early writer's telling me what happened instead of showing me. I gave him some ideas of things to try, and he worked on it for a bit, but has let it go recently as he works on his car.
In the meantime, he started jotting down memories of things from his childhood. He let me read through it one day, and I was amazed. My dad has various stories he tells from growing up (the one that always comes to mind is Rabbit Berries, but that's a post for another day.), but here were things I had never known about, or heard about. Like the ration coupons, and how farmers were given more of them for gas and would trade those coupons with others for things they needed.
I also learned about some of his antics during school. See, my dad grew up during the Second World War with a German surname. In school we learned about the internment camps for the Japanese, but I never heard about the treatment of Americans whose families were from Germany, until I read this. My dad went through horrible bullying, and all because of his name. He made it through, but it made an impression on him.
As we picked berries, I asked about his memoirs, and he said he hadn't really done anything with them, and asked me why I was asking about it. I told him I really enjoyed reading them as it brought the past to life for me, giving me a connection I hadn't had before. I also thought it was cool the things I learned about my dad that he's never really talked about much.
I hope that he really does keep jotting down things as he remembers them, giving at least the rest of my family a glimpse into the past.
What have you learned from your parents history?

The Case of the Sticky Hand
Remember those sticky hand things you could get at the store? You fling it on things and it sticks until you peel it off? No? Does this help jog the memory?
What strange gifts have your kids or pets left you that you?
My son came home from visiting Grandma with a blue one of these. (Note to those of you with kids-- don't leave them on white walls for extended periods of time-- they will leave color on the wall. At least his did.) Tonight as I was surfing the net, I reached over to drink my cooling cup of coffee, only to discover something was floating in the cup. The sticky hand. No one knows how it came to be in the cup I had been drinking from for about 30 minutes, but there it was. Three adults and one child had no idea where it had come from. I figured my son set it in the cup instead of on the table, and dear hubby wondered if it had been a gift from my cat. Either way, it wasn't what I had wanted in my drink. My son graciously took care of it and got me a fresh cup of coffee (after dumping and rinsing out the other.)

Creating Character
Happy belated Father's Day to all the dad's out there. We had a great time yesterday with both of our father's (and mother's and a brother) stopping over for food and fun on the back deck. Hope you all had a great time. (We actually had two sunny days in a row!)
This week I was writing a scene in my WIP with a minor character who would only be in this one scene. I wrote the chapter, saved it, then started thinking about what I had written. It was very flat, and worse, I didn't know why my MC had chosen this person for the task they were fulfilling in the chapter. As I thought about the answer to my why, a back story began to unravel for this minor character, and I realized that was why the chapter was so flat.
How about you? Do you create back stories even for minor characters? Why or why not?

Happy June!!!!
Hopefully all of you made it through the storms last week with little/no problems. We had heavy rains, high winds, and tornado threats here, but fortunately no damage. Power was out to several people in our area over the weekend, but as far as I know most of it has been restored by now.
We had a great cookout with family and friends on the new deck Monday (finally the weather cooperated!!!) It was so nice to have the area to entertain on.
I'm getting to the end of my re-writes for my WIP, and catching up on some reading. My son and I are reading through the Percy Jackson series (we're on THE TITAN'S CURSE), and I am reading JACOB WONDERBAR AND THE COSMIC SPACE KAPOW. What titles are you reading or is in your TBR pile???

Contest!
For those of you who haven't heard, QueryTracker.net is having a contest that begins today. What is the contest? Roseanne Wells, of Marianne Strong & Associates, is judging first pages of completed YA novels.
The information can be found here. Just follow the directions.
If you are entering, good luck!
The weekend was crazy here, with an unexpected water heater change, and scattered showers that kept us from finishing staining the deck (I'm beginning to think it will never be done!). But it ended nicely with an extended family gathering for Mother's Day. Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to an exciting week!

Fun and Games
After a weekend of running around, it was nice last night to come home, have dinner, then play bowling on the PS3.
Our friend got a PS3 Move recently, and for his birthday Hubby bought him the bowling game for it. What a blast! It was the first time I have ever bested my hubby at bowling (well, at least until he figured out how to curve the ball!)
How do you spend your down time? Movies, museums, bowling alleys? Doesn't it feel great just to unwind every now and then??

Happy New Year!
When I was growing up, I remember there being the Sugar Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Rose Bowl. I admit I don't watch much college football anymore, but the last few days I've been hearing scores announced for all these Bowls games with names I've never heard before. Is it just me, or do all these new Bowl games diminish the importance of the original ones?
Now that I've gotten that out of my system, on to today's post.
New Years is a time to make resolutions. I admit I am as sporadic about making them as I am keeping them. But, I am hoping by sharing my resolutions with you, that I will do better at keeping more of them this year. So, here goes (these are in no particular order-- just as they came to mind).
1) Return to a weekly walking schedule of 3-5 times a week on the treadmill. (This should be easy, all I have to do is convince my body to get up in the morning!)
2) Find an agent to represent my polished Sleeping Handsome (when it is ready, of course!)
3) Finish The Ruby Dagger (my NaNo project)
4) Edit The Lost Princess to reflect the changes from Sleeping Handsome (and to reach my word count)
5) Begin drafting A Different Kind of Knight
6) Begin outlining Daphne's story (no working title yet!)
7) Spend lots of quality time with family and friends
8) Keep active with my blog post (I am still aiming for M-F, unless things become really hectic in life)
Well, I think that's a good start. How about you? What resolutions are you making? Do you need help being accountable to them? Share below!
Happy New Year everyone!

What a Trip!
Sorry for being absent yesterday, but after getting in at 2AM, I didn't have time to get a post up before work.
Christmas here was wonderful. We had a great time with family and friends, and everyone truly seemed to enjoy the gifts the received. (I love the robe I got, and can't wait to play the White Knight Chronicles game hubby got me. He also surprised me with Christian Kane's House Rules CD. My Zune will be updated and I can listen through the sound system with my new dock. And the Colt's wear I got will be making an appearance this weekend.)
Sunday we went to Albany to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Each year I wonder what they will do to make the show bigger and better than the year before, and each year I am amazed. It truly is an awesome show. (We find sitting towards the back is the best seats so you see the show and aren't in the show!-- this also allows for less expensive tickets, too!)
I really enjoyed the changes to this years show. There were a few new songs, as one of the usual singers wasn't there. While I enjoyed hearing the other songs, I really missed hearing him sing.
The drive home was a bit challenging. It was snowing in sheets (yeah, I know- I never saw it do that before either). Our usual 2 to 2 1/2 hour trip turned out to be about 3 hours (not so bad, but when you roll in at 2 AM and have to get up for work at 7...) Normally I would have slept most of the trip home, but I wanted to be an extra set of eyes while hubby drove.
If you get a chance, check out TSO (you probably know their two most famous songs- Christmas Eve Sarajevo (the one that started it all when they were Savatage) and Wizards in Winter (the one made famous with the commercial with the house lights)).
Hope you all had a great Christmas. I'll be posting a breakfast recipe on Thursday (I used if for Christmas)- thought you might want to try it for New Years!

Wrapping it up!
Well, if you are like me this year, you still have Christmas shopping to finish and all your wrapping to do (I cannot believe how time got away from me this year!)
Tomorrow begins the first of multiple family Christmas gatherings that will take us into the final one on New Year's Day. I really like the way we stretch it out so long-- savoring our time with each other.
Sunday we are off to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert. They are absolutely wonderful, and I can't wait to see what they've added to the show this year. They usually play the entire first album (with a narrator), then add in songs from their other albums in the second half. It is really cool to see all the people there (little kids all the way up to the elderly!) This is becoming our family tradition- an annual trip to the TSO Christmas show (this makes 6 years running!)
What are your holiday plans? Do you have any special traditions? Share below.

5 Days to Christmas!
This weekend I finally started my Christmas shopping- I know, better late than never! I have never waited this long to begin my shopping and hopefully, will never do so again!
Last week I printed of my MS of Sleeping Handsome and set about editing it. I can happily say I am over 45000 words (yea!) and have done lots of polishing. Now, I just need to sit back and wait to hear from my critique partners with their comments.
This will be a busy week for us. My son has his first orchestra and chorus concert on Tuesday night (I'll be sure to let you know how it was!), and we are trying to make arrangements to see Tron on Wednesday. I am working through Thursday, and on Sunday we are traveling to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra (they are awesome- if you ever get the chance to see them, do it. In addition to great music, their light show is phenomenal!)
Oh, and in case you don't know, Lisa Shearin is posting the first three chapters of her upcoming book, Con and Conjure on her website today. If you haven't read her before, check it out here.
Have a Happy Monday!

My First Thanksgiving Turkey
If you have never cooked turkey before, or even if you have, I thought you'd enjoy what happened with the first turkey I ever "cooked".
The first year my husband and I were married, I decided it would be a great idea to host Thanksgiving for my family and his. I had never cooked a turkey before, but how hard could it be?
I bought the frozen turkey, left it in the freezer, and about two days before I was going to cook it, I put it in the fridge to thaw. The day before, I realized it was still frozen solid and called my mom for advice. She said to put it in the sink in cold water and leave it. It would be fine.
So, Thanksgiving morning, I got up while it was still dark, started my oven and followed my cookbook recipe for cooking my bird (which I was still pulling chunks of ice out of-- this should have meant something to me, but at the time, I was ignorant).
I put the bird in and went back to sleep. Over the next several hours I repeatedly basted the turkey and put together the other dishes we were having (the only other thing I can be sure we had was cranberry sauce). The house smelled great. Our families arrived (most of them, anyway). And it was time for the turkey. We pulled it out of the oven and tested the temperature. Not done. So, we put it back in and chatted with the family. Eventually we realized the turkey was never going to finish. It had still been frozen when I put it in the oven. So, we cut off pieces that were done (my brother assured us this was fine) and ate. I put the turkey back in, to finish. It never did.
After that, I only bought fresh turkeys (for a few years) and never had that problem again. I've since returned to the frozen turkey (always making sure to take it out in time to thaw) and have never had a problem.
So, what's your turkey story? Share below.

Happy Monday!
We had a very nice weekend, hope you all did too! Saturday, we went to the apple orchard, all excited to pick apples, unfortunately the picking was closed for the day as the ground was too wet. So, we had a nice lunch in their store and bought a peck of already picked apples--apple crisp and apple pie here we come!
After lunch, we went to a pumpkin farm and had fun looking at the displays (we figured out what all were, except one-- there was one with a woman (pumpkin head and grey, long haired wig) in a long blue denim dress-- if you know what story/nursery rhyme/movie she could be, let me know!)
We did the corm maze, but didn't get lost-- found a few dead ends, though! Then we picked out our pumpkins.
Back home, we decorated more outside, then did our pumpkin carving.
I picked a white pumpkin this year- mostly because I liked its face.
I was going to do a Pumpkin Masters carving of a mummy, but didn't want to reduce the outline, so I free handed it.
When everyone was done, we placed them in the graveyard growing in our front yard for some pictures. (The second is taken with a candle light option).
How are your Halloween preparations coming?

50th Anniversary Party
This post is a few days late, but better late than never. Saturday I had the privilege of hosting a party for my parents 50th Anniversary. In an age when many couples don't make it to ten years, fifty seems like a miracle. Congratulations, Mom and Dad. I am proud to be able to share this moment with you.
When they married in 1960, they didn't have a big wedding or a reception. Knowing this I made sure they had a wedding type cake to cut. We did photos of the cake cutting and everything.
When making the cake, I tried a recipe I hadn't made before. When I removed the cakes from the pans, two of the four crumbled. I tried to piece them together and stack them anyway, but it made a big mess. So, I pulled out a box mix and decorated that instead. The second time was a charm.
So, what do you do with cake that didn't come out right? We set it up with the other cake and served it. It looked awful, but tasted better than the box mix. We served it to anyone who wanted it, and it was the first to go.
In addition to the cake, I worked on a video of photos of them across the years, and played it on the TV for everyone to see. I think I had as much fun making this as my parents had watching it.
Congratulations, Mom and Dad!!!! Here's to many more!!!!

Gingerbread House
My son loves to make Gingerbread Houses. We got a kit a few years ago and he fell in love with decorating them. This year we picked up a kit the day after Thanksgiving, with every intention of making it in early December.
Well, when my son came home from school with this Gingerbread House:
I realized that we hadn't done the kit we bought. So, Monday night the three of us got to work making the Gingerbread House.
We made sure the walls were stable.
And that the roof was secure.
Then we got down to the decorating!
And in no time, we had our Gingerbread House made!!
Merry Christmas!!!
