10 Weird Facts About Me

I have been buried under this past week with trying to jump start my book. I found a serious error in the middle (Namely, the hero was being entirely too nice to the heroine and that’s the kiss of death to a romance.). Ironic, isn’t it? But if you let up on the tension for even a second, your book starts to go south. I found the problem, deleted 12 pages (ow, ow, OW that HURTS), and now I’m back on track. I’ll need to step up my page progress for the next few days and then I should be right where I need to be.

So did anyone watch the Oscars? I was glad to see that Jennifer Hudson won. It’s a great story–hope she can handle the fame. So many people like Britney Spears become famous too quickly and can’t seem to deal with the pressure.

Jan Kenny tagged me with this one, so I’ll try to come up with some new ones:

1. I hate seafood.
2. I have composed piano music.
3. I was once a freestyle ice skater.
4. My favorite bulbs are hyacinths. LOVE the scent of them in the springtime.
5. I listen to movie soundtracks while I write. My favorites include “Braveheart,” “Last of the Mohicans,” “Batman Returns” and “Gladiator.” Every book I write has a song associated with it.
6. I have read Clan of the Cave Bear at least fifteen times.
7. I can play “A Bicycle Built for Two” on the ukelele. Quite poorly, I might add. :rotf:
8. Both of my children were born two weeks shy of their due date.
9. My favorite drink is Bulmer’s Cider (ahh, Ireland)
10. I’m allergic to cats.

And speaking of cats, does anyone have a cat as a pet? I need to write a scene with a cat and I’d like to get a sense of feline attitude. I haven’t been around them much, due to reason #10, and I’d love to hear cat stories.
