Things that made me happy today (and embarassed).
  • The rain. I just love rain. :grin:
  • Working off a critique. I just love critiques and I got two of them back today for two different stories. :grin:
  • Pizza. Yummy. :razz:
  • Coffee. Another yum.
  • My kids giggling.
  • The puppy going nuts for no reason.
  • On a completely different note, I have a confession to make. My story, A Taste of Sin, makes me blush. :oops: Really. I’m okay reading it, but knowing other people are reading it freaks me out. I’m wondering if this is a sign that I shouldn’t be writing crude and coarse romantica. I love the story and the protagonists, but if it sells will I walk around with a perpetual blush? None of my other stories are like it, most especially in the language department.

    I was going through a crit of the story and every time I got to a hot scene and realized that someone else had read it, my face went up in flames. And good grief!!! When it got posted to Tawny Taylor’s site, I wigged. Yikes!! Is that silly? Or normal? Or a sign?

      LOL I had one CP whose hubby was a youth minister and I used to tease her about covering her eyes on the risque parts :oops:.

      Don’t sweat it. We all have different comfort zones. You didn’t say a word in the novella I critted so what’s the difference? It was pretty hot! :razz:
