The Exhausted Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

As you can see from today’s title the situation of my tiredness has escalated and I’m not merely tired but exhausted. The past two weeks have been crazy busy at work, if I got home by 10 pm at night I counted myself lucky for arriving home “early”, so yeah, I’m at the end of my reserves. So I’m really thankful the weekend is finally here, especially since it will be a 4 day-long holiday weekend for us, so yay! On the planning menu I have: reading and sleeping a lot and recharging those batteries before I have to get back to work. (But knowing myself I’ll be baking some as well 😉 And how is your weekend shaping up?

Romance and Me: I HEART Series!

Hey Everyone!

As you can see from the title I LOVE series! Be the individual novels connected via the characters (siblings, friends, etc.) or a place (the residents of a small town, co-workers of the same restaurant, etc.) I just love it. Why? Well there are several reasons for that.

First and foremost because if I enjoy an author’s writing style and loved one of their books I just want more of the same goodness 😀

Secondly because once an author has established a world with well-developed (secondary) characters, I want to revisit the place and see how their life is going and what happens to them. Also, I just find it a great bonus to have an epilogue HEA to the previous book’s couple and see what they have been up to since we waved them goodbye at their happy ending. 😀

What Kind of an Impression Did You Make?
by Terry Spear

If you met the man of your dreams, what kind of impression did you first make? What kind of an impression did he make on you?

Was it love at first sight, or did you think: what a loser! Or: no way would I get hooked up with him…he’s too cute, charming, too rich, too out of my league, too whatever?

When we’re writing fiction, we have to come up with ways that our heroine and hero are …

The Tired Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

This week has been crazy at work, I was on 3 urgent projects having their deadline all on Friday, so on Friday I pulled a 14 hour long shift and I still haven’t chilled enough to feel psyched about Monday coming up (or is there such a thing as to look forward to the week starting? LOL ;-p) But I still got to do soma baking, this time I whipped up some apple-cinnamon muffins 😀

Today I’ll spend the afternoon with a friend of mine we’ll go shopping, to the cinema and then a dance class, so a busy day.
