American Idol & More Blogging Insanity

This is a really, REALLY great summary of last night's show and I so totally agree with his opinions. Gotta love Ken Levine.

Over on Karen's Blog, Kathryn Falk, Romantic Times Book Review CEO, posts the ridculous. Dear Author also talks about it and "Why Romantic Times Reviews Are Not Credible." Then a friend found this on another blog... Are things amiss at Romantic Times?

UPDATE: New post at Dear Author.

The Waiting Is The Hardest Part...

This chorus of this song should be every author's theme song. Seriously. I'm awaiting my agent's verdict of revisions while I work on synopses for more books in the Chance Creek series, and it's so damn hard to focus. The waiting really IS the hardest part. *sigh*

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
