Success!

Here I am on day three of my exercise/life change regime and when I got on the scale this morning, I was down 1.5 pounds! Yay for me! I ate well today...no junk food. Gotta up the water intake but there's still time to get in a few more glasses today.
 
Just wanted to provide a quick update before hitting the cardio equipment in my basement. No weights today. I'm too sore, but I will up the cardio workout to 45 minutes. How's everyone else doing on their resolutions?
 
Good luck and let's encourage each other.

    Hey, Jeanne, I was down 1.5 pounds this morning, too! I just hope I didn't gain any back today. I did my aerobics, but didn't go to the gym. They say aerobics are best for losing weight, but I find my gym days are my "losing" days, and I only do weights there, not treadmill or anything.

      Hi, glad to hear we're both heading in the right direction with our weight and health. I know that lifting weights burns calories too, so perhaps it's helping more than you know.

      I'll be going on the 'I feel sick and can't eat diet' for a few days so hopefully I'll lose a few pounds after having my gb out.

      Hey, Joy - so nice to hear from you! Thanks for the well wishes. I just had my gall bladder out this morning, so, I'm at least 3 ounces lighter already, lol ;)

Writing Process Blog Hop

I would like to thank my friend, Tina D.C. Hayes for tagging me for the Writing Process Blog Hop. 1. What are you currently working on? I have three works in progress, however, one is more “done” than the others. It’s a romantic thriller titled, Love, Lies and Deception (the title has been changed from Undercover Hero ). The tagline for the novel is, “What’s a girl to do when she falls in love with the man whose mission it is to bring her down?” My other two novels are paranormal thrillers which is my usual genre and the genre I’m most comfortable writing in. 2. How does your work differ from others in the genre?   I don’t think Love, Lies and Deception is much different than other works in that genre. It has all the typical elements of a romance, but I do bring in aspects of the paranormal into everything I write. So, even though LL & D is, at its essence, a romance, it definitely has a touch of the paranormal. 3. Why do you write what you do? ...

When a Review is not a Review

After receiving plenty of great reviews and ratings for Invisible , yesterday, I went through a rite of passage, I got my first ever one-star review from a reviewer on Goodreads - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/278254425 . It's okay, really, I'm fine with it. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But what really got to me was the reason why! There is a gay character in my novel. Her name is Charlie and I love her. I think she adds dimension and depth to my novel, but the reviewer hated her. The reviewer's stated "I don't do gay." So I ask, is this really a review or an opportunity for the reviewer to tout her so-called Christian values? All I ask is for a fair review. Review the book as a whole. A one-star review is fine by me, especially when it comes from a narrowminded individual. I would have thought in this day and age that such prejudice and hatred would not be so prevalent.
