Wednesday’s Words
How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Hope you have a great day.
New Reviews
Got two new reviews for Angel’s Evolution.
One from Nannette at Joyfully Reviewed says “Angel’s Evolution is a beautiful story.”
The other comes from Bella at TwoLipsReviews and she says “In Angel’s Evolution, T.A. Chase manages to do what few authors do, wrap you up in the story so completely that you forget the world around you.”
Thank you, ladies.
Did some writing over the weekend. A little on some of the oler stories and a bit on a new story idea I came up with.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and enjoy your Monday.
Happy Easter
Happy Easter, Everyone. May the day be filled with laughter and fun. Or how about just sunny skies and no snow?
Got my editors for both Stealing Life and Three anthology this past week. So that means we’re on schedule for a June/July release of both of them. 🙂
Did some writing yesterday. Not a ton. Been kind of lazy the last two days. But I’ll get back into the swing of things soon.
Pimping Books
Orange Moon (click on title for blurb) takes place before their story Winter Song, even though it didn’t get released until after the other one. (Does that make any sense? lol) It’s part of their Japanese rocker series. I thoroughly enjoyed both stories. Anne created the covers for both as well. Those guys are just damn beautiful.
Did some work on a bunch of different stories yesterday. Since I don’t have to work today, I’m planning on getting a lot written. Hopefully, though I am having lunch with a friend, but it shouldn’t take too much time out of the day.
Have a great Good Friday, everyone.
Nothing Happening….
Not much going on around here. It’s rainy and cold which sucks. I did a little writing on Magpie & Snake story. Have no real idea where that one’s going…lol. Just know that Magpie’s voice is pretty strong in my head at the moment. He’s a bit of a talker.
Hope you have a great day.
Monday Interview
Hey everyone…Hope you had a great weekend. I did, all things considered.
Stop over to Nicole’s blog and see the interview she did with me. Some great questions and she also posted excerpts from No Going Home, Here Be Dragons and Stealing Life. We’re running a contest as well. Post a comment and get in a drawing for either one of my books…or a book of your choice from either Loose-Id or Liquid Silver.
Didn’t get much writing done over the weekend. Got caught up in some other stuff.
Oh Yvonne, Magpie & Snake is an urban fantasy I started last year sometime. I took a look at it the other day and got inspired to write some more on it. It’s a lot of fun to work on because Magpie is quite an interesting character.
Well, I hope everyone has a great Monday and remember to stop by Nicole’s blog to say hi.
Wet Sunday
Went and saw Mark Walhberg’s newest movie, Shooter, yesterday. It was pretty good. Lots of action and that’s the type of movie I like. Also, it has Mark in it. So hot. Here’s a pic from his younger days when he was the cover boy for Calvin Klein.Not much writing has been done the past two days…though I did turn in my short story, Understanding Forgiveness, but since I just realized that the true deadline for the anthology isn’t until May, I’m way ahead of where I thought I was…lol.
Been working on Tony’s story, The Vanguard and Magpie&Snake, but I got distracted by a new idea and had to work on that one as well.
I’m hoping to get some work done today, but not sure what’s been planned for us. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.
Week’s half over..
Hey everyone. It’s getting cold here again. Just when I thought spring was here to stay. Oh well…Stop by SiN and check out my cover for Stealing Life. Anne did another awesome job. There’s a couple excerpts posted there as well.
I did some writing yesterday. I’m at 18k on Home to Stay, but I’ve changed the title…lol. Figures. I’m thinking it’s going to be called Home of his Own. It suits the story better than the original title.
I added another 1k to Magpie and Snake’s story. I was glancing through it on Monday. Inspiration hit and I had to do some work on it. With three stories going at once, it’ll be interesting to see which one I actually end up finishing first. Though more than likely, it’ll be Tony’s story.
Have a great day.
Blood Diamond
Watched Blood Diamond the other night. It’s certainly makes you think. The diamond companies weren’t happy with this movie because it makes them look bad, but not only that, it really makes you think about how lightly humans seem to take life.
Got a ton of writing done on Home to Stay. I’m at 16k so far and I’m not done with what I’ve handwritten, but I’m getting close. After that, it’ll be all new stuff..lol.
I also started writing the opening scenes for the Christmas story I’d like to have out this year featuring Les, Randy and the guys from Tony’s story. I got the opening scene for Dreaming of Dragons which will be Mordred and George’s story, but didn’t get a chance to write it down yet. That’s next after the final editing of Understanding Forgiveness.
Oh and the cover for Stealing Life is awesome. When I get the final okay from the powers-that-be at LSB, I’ll post it for you. It’s gorgeous, hot and sexy. Anne did a wonderful job of protraying the boys. 🙂
Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday.
Lyrics
“Breaking The Habit”
There’s just something about the line…’I don’t want to be the one the battles always chose…’ It touched me at a level inside…because I’m sure we’ve all felt that way like all the battles just seem to search us out and no matter how hard we try, we just can’t get away from the hard times.
Have you ever heard a song and have the lyrics hit you in such a way that it could be the theme song for your life?
Music is an important part of my life. The best stuff I write is written while listening to music. Maybe the actual music part helps the creative process.
Hope your Saturday is filled with all kinds of music.
