Well, no big shock here, but my word count was zero again this week. But I'm fully expecting that to change by next Wednesday because I signed up for NaNoWriMo. For those of you who aren't able to participate in NaNo, I'd still like to do fun Word Count Wednesday stuff as we set personal goals to reach in the month of November. When I did the JumpStartWriMo over the summer, I found it so motivating to be going through it with you guys.So, it's the last day before NaNo and what have I done to prepare? Sadly, nothing. I...

Holy moly, did you SEE Castle last night? One of the best episodes I've seen. As soon as Esposito found Castle's fingerprints at the crime scene, my stomach sank. He seemed so suspicious and I was thinking, "don't you know him better than that by now?" Of course, they were just doing their jobs yet it was tough to watch. But Espo's reaction was nothing compared to Kate's. The look on her face when they find that evidence in Castle's loft was absolutely amazing. Stana Katic has such an expressive face and she...

Since we had no Castle or Hawaii Five-O last night because of the presidential debate, I had time to mull over whether I might participate in NaNoWriMo this year. For anyone who doesn't know, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month where you write a novel (or 50,000 words) in the month of November. There's a place for you to track your progress and get encouragement and almost all of my author friends participate each November. But I've never done it.For one thing, I have limited and irregular computer time so that makes it hard for me....

I was first introduced to Kathleen Morgan when I got her book Child of the Mist for free on Kindle. (I noticed it's still free if you like Christian romance in the Scottish Highlands.) I sort of liked that story (in an overall sort of way) (Maybe I should explain. I thought it was fluffy and the heroine wasn't particularly bright. I mean, she was almost killed fifty times but still runs around getting herself into scrapes and needing to be rescued. But, you know, it wasn't horrible and the story premise was pretty...
