Now that you know what you can win, bet you want some hotties huh? Well – wait no further. Like the Halloween tour, there’s a theme here at this blog. It’s pretty easy to figure out, so don’t get yourself too tied up in knots about it.

So, now that you’ve gazed upon some hotties that are all tied up and need a mop for all the drool, you can head on off to the next stop on the tour, Savanna’s site (http://kougarkisses.blogspot.com/).

Alright guys, the day is here! It’s the Trick or Treat Blog Tour! If you’ve made it here by not starting at the beginning (and you’re all about order like I am) the Blog Tour starts over a Gem’s site (http://gemsivad.wordpress.com/blog)

RULES: The rules are simple. Visit each blog on the tour and leave a comment at each one. At the end of the day, the winner’s will be chosen at random and prizes abound!

So let’s get to the hotness…I don’t know about you, but when it came to surfing around to find pictures there were just too many to choose from. Seriously, this was really hard work, shifting through all these pictures I found of hot guys. Well, I culled the list down to these and I just couldn’t decide. So – consider yourself treated as I decided to post all of them! As you’ll notice, there’s a definite theme working here. Hot guys in jeans. Well, except for the last one. I’m particularly fond of it – black & white photography is my favorite, not to mention that look (you know the one…). *SWOON*

If you click on each thumbnail. you’ll be treated even more as the full size image will pop up.

So, now that you’ve gazed upon some hotties and need a mop for all the drool, you can head on off to the next stop on the tour, Jolie’s site (http://joliecainauthor.blogspot.com/)

So, needless to say, technology and I aren’t friends right now like we usually are.

But that isn’t going to stop me from passing on goodies to you and boy is this one a treat! Come join me and trick or treat bag full of other authors for a Halloween Hottie Blog Hop on October 30. Now, if getting an eyeful of Halloween Hotties wasn’t enough, there’s prizes in the tour and you can find out more about the details on who’s involved and what the prizes will be here.

Be sure to stop back by here on the 30th!

1-1/2 years ago, I wrote a book. I set it aside after I was finished to work on other things. Now I’m back to that book. I haven’t touched it since I set it down, so needless to say, it needs a good scrubbing edit-wise from me. First thing I realized was the first chapter was slow and boring. There was nothing that really grabbed me as the reader that would invest me in the story enough to keep reading. So, I fiddled a little and came up with something new.

The next day, I re-read it and thought it was utter shite.

So, a few days ago, on a very long plane ride, I decided that it needed a new beginning. Wrote that and yet again, a day or so later, hated it.

To shorten the story, I went through that five times. FIVE. Five times of loving/hating.

Yesterday I hand wrote out another stab at the chapter, and reading it again this morning, I still like it. So, it will probably be the new beginning for the book.

So, what the hell is so easy about that? Why would I willingly put myself through that sort of aggravation. I know of no one that would put themselves through something like that if they didn’t absolutely love what they did. You have to, in order to do that to yourself. To put yourself through that frustration on a routine basis. Especially when I know, that even after all of that, it’s still not “perfect” and will have to be edited up the ass in order to get it into an even better flow/format/etc.

Even then, it’ll still need to be edited.

Yeah – writing is easy. *snort*

Let’s look at something easy on the eyes instead, shall we? We need some man flesh around here because it’s been sorely lacking.
