Sorry I’ve been absent a lot this week. I’ve been hitting my daily page goals, and I finished (and turned in–yay!) an article for the Romance Writer’s Report. It’s a paranormal article, one tentatively titled: Get Your Ghoul On. Basically, it’s ten things writers should know about the paranormal romance market and/or writing paranormal romances. It’s currently scheduled for the October issue of the RWR–just in time for Halloween.

My WIP is rolling along. A couple more weeks, and I should be finished. Well, finished with the rough draft, anyway. Then I get to go back in and add and delete and add and delete…

For those wondering about my previously mentioned book club–yes, I am definitely still planning to start the book club. I’ve been getting some wonderful assistance from Zoe, Amber, Amanda, Ashley, and Felecia–thank you, ladies!!! We’ve got a MySpace page up and running–well, okay, more tweaks will be coming to the page, but if you want to take a look (and friend us), it’s at: www.myspace.com/wittyandwickedbooks.

I’ll post full details about the book club within the next day or so. But, here’s a quick rundown: A group of romance fans have gotten together to form a romance book club. Yep, that’s us. Some of the group members live in the same sweltering area of the south, and we’ll meet once a month to discuss our book selection. BUT, the club also has an online division–and anyone, anywhere is welcome to join the online book club. We have a Yahoo group for the book club discussion, and, if you want to join, it’s: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wittyandwickedbooks.

The way the club works: A romance book is chosen each month as the book club selection. Print books and ebooks can be picked–doesn’t matter to us. All romance sub-genres will be explored. If authors want to put their books up for selection consideration, we have a questionnaire that they can fill out.

We are NOT a review site. We’re just a group of ladies who love romance books and want to talk about them.

And, yes, our first book club selection will be going up soon. The book club will officially launch with an August pick. 🙂

More details to come…

Today, I’ve got posts up over at the Brava Authors and over at the Bradford Bunch.  If you get a chance, check ’em out.

Have a great Wednesday!

I’ve been a bad blogger–but I’ll be getting back in the groove tomorrow.  My family extended by one over the weekend. We adopted a sweetheart of a dog.  I’ll be sure to post a pic soon.

In the meantime…here’s your survival tip of the day.

Totally random, right?
