Hiatus Time

Charli is going on a hiatus from this lovely blog. Not to worry. This is not a ledge moment or a Sheen like break from reality. I just need a break, have lots to do, and wanted to let you all know I will be back soon.

Lately I've been participating in Blog fests and hops. It helps you meet other writerly friends and exchange information.

It's nice but it's not why AJ and I started this blog. Over the past few months our wee lil' blog has received those blog awards. We don't post them, it's not our thing. It's nice to have people feel that way about you blog and acknowledge it. But when you go to their blogs to accept the square image you find out you're 1 of 7 to 10 recipients. In order for the giver of your award to accept one that they got they have to give them out. What the what? Are these awards really all that sincere?

Hmmm. Some yes but since it's sort of forced prolly not all.

The Blog Fest thing I actually like. I get to read other people's writing and such but it gets overwhelming. You can spend hours and hours just looking at other people's entries, commenting, and bam, your day is gone. And you've yet to open your WIP and actually write.

Hmmm. I start a blog to share about the writing experience and blog more than write.

I used to look forward to jumping on here and venting about the process, the craft, the joys, the lows, and the ledge moments of becoming an aspiring writer. What happened to me?

The blogosphere. The interwebz. The twitterverse. The Facespaces.

I have a lot going on outside my writing life. I will be super busy until May. It's all very top secret, the kind of thing where if I tell you I have to kill you. So we'll leave it at I'm busy.

Maybe AJ will be by soon. Maybe I will find something of writing value to speak of. But for now I need to get back back to actually writing.

Smell ya later interwebbing blogospheres!

Lemon Out.

Feature & Follow Friday

Over at Parajunkee they are having a Feature & Follow Friday. Here we get to know other peeps in the world of books and share some things about ourselves.





There you can find other great blogs, check them out, follow, and comment.

This Friday's question is:

Q. Share your current fav television show! Tell us a bit about it...

Well, I have a few favorite shows, I am sort of a TV junkie. If you follow this blog you can already guess what my fave of all faves is.

30 ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Here are some clips. My words cannot do it justice!
 

 
How can you not love a show that coins phrases like...
 
"I want to go to there."

"I love this cornbread so much I wanna take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant."

"What the what!"

"I can't eat this, I'm a foodie."

"I'm wearing a tux 'cause its after six. What am I, a farmer?"

"Oh my god, where are my manners? Do you wanna try meth?"

"I never sleep on planes. I don't wanna get 'incepted.'"

"Goodnight cheese."

"First of all, I look weird there because I'm snarting."

Ok. You have to be a fan after "snarting". That's a sneeze fart.

Heroes and Heartbreakers

Yesterday was a day of kisses, love, and ha-cha-chas.

 It was also the big launch day of Heroes and Heartbreakers, the latest website dedicated to Romance and hosted by Macmillan Publishing.

I have the honor of being a contributor for the blog. My first post discusses Romance Couple Royalty, Jamie and Claire from Diana Gabaldon's The Outlander. Love this couple.

The site chats about Romance as a whole. Not just in books but in movies, music, television, and our daily lives. There are great recommendations for news reads,  tantalizing excerpts, and short stories.

Giveaways, sneak peeks, and witty banter should be enough to make you run over to sign up and be a member. Besides the fact that I have a post there, of course.

Go, shoo. Get going and get in on all the fun. No comments here, save them for over there.
