About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
Poisoned Purple Pen
New siggie



She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

Lost in a haze of purple she stands alone

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be


Inspiration



TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

I have no inspiration this week it seems. I still have a romantic entry to write for I Write Romantic, but I'm stalling. It's due tomorrow! Though I do have a tendency to write better when the pressure of deadlines are looming over my head. *Laugh* No idea why that is.

With wedding plans moving forward things are crazy busy. And of course just as we were booking our flight for the wedding, the travel agent calls and says the price has been raised. I swear to God this happens to us every single time we fly. The dates we pick is always one after high season, so they move us up a day which is a total inconvenience. It's totally ridiculous.

My mom heard that booking a flight on August 23rd is the best time to book because it's the cheapest fair day of the year. Now we are about to find out. I'll keep checking rates online until then, but I'll be damned if I'm paying $1700 a ticket and having multiple stops to boot.

My soon-to-be daughter-in-law picked her wedding gown, and it's beautiful. I do like that they rent dresses there, not purchase like we do here. It's something you only ever wear once. And I understand the nostalgia of having something to hand down in the family, but most people really see that dress as used and do not want it anyway. They all must have new to them. So renting is an ideal option and a huge money saver in my opinion.

It really would've saved me from seeing my own dress destroyed when I gave it to my niece for her wedding and she changed it so much I didn't even recognize it any more. *Cry* Yes I wanted to cry, and later that day I did cry. I couldn't help myself, but I sucked it up, and lied and told her what she wanted to hear. I think R was the only one who saw through that fake smile.

I'm going through Bride 2 Be again. Dang perfectionist in me. It's probably why I can't write at the moment, things are rumbling around in my head for my book instead. Must learn to quiet that muse for a few hours so I can get my entry written. Hopefully that will happen at some point today or tomorrow. One can hope, right?
