Bliss: Desired Silence

This always seems to happen to me and wondered if it happens to other.

When you’re right in the middle of a really intense scene in a book. I mean it is heart pounding, sweaty and you’re at the edge of your seat. Then wham the phone rings or someone talks to you yanking you right out of it. Oyy. That happened to me today. Not once but 3 times damn it. The first time I was reading JD Robb’s book Glory in Death (I’m rereading the series again. I love the series) and just as I reached the pivotal part the phone rang. It frightened me so bad I threw the book up in the air. Since my phone rarely rings I was annoyed. I picked it up and tried to answer pleasantly but I can’t tell you if I succeeded or not. I’m sure you guessed it already who was on the other end of the phone. A TELEMARKETER. Since I know they are only doing there job I was okay I tried to be polite and told them not interested and they kept going on and on. I hung up and went and got my book.

So I started reading again and was back into the book when … you guessed it the phone rang again. This time I at least kept my book in hand and answered the phone all the while I was thinking was I Verizon or what. And I’m sure you know what I am about to say. It was another TELEMARKETER. I didn’t even try to listen I hung up. By this time I was so annoyed I put the book down and booted up my computer. After surfing the web, checking email and such. I calmed down a bit and decided to do some writing. I was writing a really hot sexual scene in Immortal Blossom: Bonded and it was going at a fast clip when you guessed it the phone rang again. After a little round of cursing (which I don’t usually do) I picked up the phone. And this time I’ll admit I answered very rude.

To my chagrin it was one of my sister calling me from long distance. The first words out of her mouth was you’re writing aren’t you. Sheepish I said yes. She told me to call her later and hung up before I could reply. I hung up and started to get back into my scene but then I thought about it, stopped and took the phone off the hook.

Achieved. Silence.

What have I been up to….

We’ll It’s been a while. And I’ve been writing and writing my little fingers out. LOL. Usually when Mikayla - my muse - is ready to write, I make sure and do as she says or she makes me suffer the consequences. And let me tell you those circumstances terrify me. So writing is what I have been doing. I’m going along at a fast pace in a few of my projects. And not only fast but also so far it seems to make sense. I’m resisting going back and doing any edits until I am through. Yeah It’s driving me nuts but Mikayla - my muse - is screaming at me to keep going forward. If she wasn’t giving me such great writing I would tell her blow it out her ear {wincing hoping she didn’t hear}.

The current issue of my newsletter Passionate Gazette was posted last night. If you haven’t signed up. Gasp I am shocked and why haven’t you. Go to Sign Up (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/passionategazette) so you can correct what must be huge mistake. LOL.

I am still planning on sharing my Reader’s Gold (for what I mean check here) with you. I’m working out a few things that I hope will make it more fun and intersting. Hmmm… is there anything else I need to share.

Oh yeah I did something I haven’t done in a while. My very own little guilty pleasure. Are you ready o hear it?

I went to the movies. I know to some people that doesn’t seem like a guilty pleasure but to me it is. Since I don’t get to go as often as I would like and I feel guilty that I was in movies instead of writing. Hence it is my guilty pleasure. I also went to eat. I saw Take the Lead and I enjoyed it. As usual I think Antonio Banderas was very sexy. Ever since I saw him in Desperado I thought he was sexy. I’m not saying all his movies are good just that he is good to look at. LOL. I plan to go more often.

Well I think that’s it at least for now.
