been busy

I have not really been blogging… I have been keeping myself busy…

I got a new job, but I am not that excited about it. It is money at least. I excited that 90% of my holiday shopping is done.

My cat is a bigamist and has another family… I am sure of it… He is gone more than he is here lately and I miss him allot… He has gotten very big! He is 30 pounds of mussel Tom Cat…

Here it is over a year later and I still have the same lover… I still see him often, and I miss him when he is gone… He says he misses me too… Looks like I will get what i want most of all for my birthday… him, naked…

My children will be here for all of the Christmas Holidays and I am very excited over that.

I am madly in love with a bad ass woman too… She is dating my platonic life partner though… Don’t ask… long story…

I am writing when I have time, and reading more… My knee is bothering me allot so I have spent alot of time in bed with books, and chocolates… I love VC Andrews…

I am starting a new book, this has nothing to do with Naomi as well… I have named the main Character Carmilla Grey… I am still bringing her to life though… I am very excited about her too

The Weather is Cooling and so am I

This time of year really effects me. This is the time of year I like to curl up with some coffee and enjoy a good book. I am also reminded of how much I miss my tan, and the feeling of the summer sun on my skin. I am truly a summer child. Texas summers are hotter than most people can handle but I have been here most of my life. I have to admit though they get to much for even me.
I do not handle cold well.

been gone to long

I have been gone from my blog for awhile and for that I am sorry.

I have been dealing with stuff…

But that is now all taken care of!

I am back to writing lately too! I have been writing by hand though. Anyone who has reallyt delt with me knows this is a kind of big deal because it hurts for me to wright due to damage to my hands over the years…

I plan on transcribing some of the new stuff soon, but if I do it will be posted to my other blog. I should do thattoday, but who knows. I never did finish the outline…

OK OK I am getting on that right now…

Myspace.com Blogs – Ode to Amanda Mae – Jonny Pirate MySpace Blog

Ode to Amanda Mae

Amanda Mae, Amanda Mae

Crazy is as Crazy does

An orgasmic fuck to my mind

Make me smile, Make me grin

I don’t care what others say,

of my friend Amanda Mae

She lifts my spirits when no one can

She’d slap me silly with a ham

On that previous line

I wrote it in just to rhyme

Though if I asked,

I’m sure she would in fact

Slap me with a ham

And that is why I love Amanda Mae

I LOVE JONNY PIRATE AND SHE LOVES ME

My feelings on drugs…

This is a cross post with a link to the full article/rant:

E Explosion in DFW

By: Amanda Bennett

I want to start this article saying I DO NOT DO DRUGS.

In fact I am an ex drug abuser. I did cocaine for several years, and have been clean longer than I even did the drug. I have always made a point to have friends who do not do drugs either. I have kicked people out of my house permanently for having a bag of weed in their pocket. Needless to say I have no idea what goes on in the drug world. To be honest I am happy not knowing. I know they are out there, I can spot when people are high… That is good enough for me.

So you know a city with a drug problem has to be bad for me to see it. I am upset by this. I love DFW. (That is the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex.) I have been living here for a few years now. Yet this place I love so much is in the throws of a drug problem. I am almost unsure how to react.

a little bit of rewriting…

So i have been reading Miss Snark’s blog, and have learns allot so far and I am not even half way through it yet. This has me thinking. I have already revised my query letters, and now I am thinking about rewritting my first few pages… Well I have but it is currently saved sepratly…

I am asking a few of my friends to read the rewrite… to be honest i can not tell wich is better… I have tried to keep miss snark’s advice in mind as I worked on it… Like I said I am not even halfway through her blog (i have been reading from the start…) I am so sad that I found her after she hung up the blog…

Now I am working on synopsis writing… I am learning about the format and hints and tips for that. I am also learning about Freelance coversheets… well i guess I am off to read some Snark before I work on the synopsis…

Miss Snark the Literary Agent

Sadly I found this blog after she retired it….

Have a look at it your self! Really good read! Miss Snark the literary agent Miss Snark really makes me giggle and i am learning allot from her!

So I am going through the archives of her blog… I started reading it from the start…

This post made me smile…

How many books do you have?

After reading this I smiled… I own maybe 4 books…

Memories of a ghesha

American Pshyco

Siddartha

and some book I may never read…

I borrow books and I give them away as fast I buy them. I also have this thing about used books… I much prefer a used book over a new one… it just feels more loved that way…

As for the state of my books…

Siddartha is on loan to my lover…. I am even ok if he keeps it…

Memories of a Ghesha… Anyone want it? It is a good book…

American Psycho…. MINE I want to keep this one….

the one I’ll never read… I keep it by my bed with some books I borrowed for the day I really run out of things to read…

hmmmm just food for thought….

The Tribe And research

ok so I have been dragged into a TV show called the The Tribe. My Flatmate is really into it and now I am engrossed in Series 3. It is an odd show and I love it…

Well I am not the type of person who can just sit and watch TV and do nothing else… So I am sitting here watching the show with my tablet pc in my lap reading agent blogs and researching things to improve my writing, and my chances for getting an agent… Praise be to the Blogosphere!

I hope  I learn enough to land me an agent… :)

And I feel productive and lazy at the same time!!!!!
