Back in the Real World
Temporarily!I finished the revisions on "Tate" over the weekend, and pretty much did nothing else. The book has gone to my editor--PHEW--and now she will do her magic.Today, it's on with "Garrett", the second Texas McKettrick, and Tate's brother.I'm not sure about the...
Blog Challenged AGAIN
Still?I finally gave up on yesterday's blog--it simply wouldn't post, no matter what I did.I am a persistent ole cowgirl, but I finally decided it just wasn't meant to be.I wanted to tell you that I finished "Tate" and I will be revising for the rest of the week, then...
Tate is DONE!
The book is done.I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'll do a little of both, probably.Time to water the flowers, write in my journal, get dressed, wait for my editor's verdict.:)Maybe I'll paint something. Maybe I'll cook something.The possibilities are...
A Cowgirl Never Quits
She may back off for a while, though, and figure out how to take another run at a challenge. I must have written my blog three times yesterday, but when I tried to post, all or most of it would crumble and drop away into cyberspace. I finally decided those things,...
Tweet On
This morning, there is a photo of a huge pink dahlia from my garden at www.twitter.com/lindalaelmillerWelome to all the new Twitter followers! I'll do my best to keep it interesting and fun.Look for shots of my horses soon, as in later on today.Yesterday I had a...
Truancy
The temptation was just too great. I sneaked away from my computer yesterday and went downtown to see a movie. I think it's the first one I've gone to, instead of waiting for the DVD, since last December, when I was alone in Vegas and killing time.You won't be...
Twitter Fiend
If you haven't checked out www.twitter.com/lindalaelmiller , you might want to go there. I just managed to put up a picture of Sadie--and also the zinnias I wrote about on today's blog.Zowie. I'm going to be a picture-posting maniac now that I've figured this out!
Perfection is…
A mason jar with zinnias in it! Honestly, this bouquet is so beautiful--the colors clash, but I don't care. I picked some of the prettiest blossoms and put them in a jar that once contained spaghetti sauce, and every time I look at these flowers, my heart soars. It...
Tweet, Tweet
Yesterday I included a twitter address, and today I changed it. Those of you who already signed up will be transferred over, so no worries, but for everyone else it's: www.twitter.com/lindalaelmillerI mostly tweet about cooking, and from my cell phone. It's a lot of...
Spaghetti, Etc.
Well, I made a pretty good dent in that baked spaghetti last night at supper, and I thought it was delicious. I would definitely make it again, with a few tweaks. Maybe a little tomato paste and some garlic. That's the fun in cooking--you can always tinker a little,...
Good News and Baked Spaghetti
I'm loving this book--"The Texas McKettricks: Tate"--it's among my best, but it's been a long, hard pull, too, for reasons that have nothing to do with the book itself. I expect to be finished in a week, and zooming right on into book 2: "Garrett". These Texas...
Dahlias
I'm always going on about zinnias--and they ARE beautiful--but it occurs to me that I might have given dahlias short shrift in the process. Three giant lavender blossoms grace my table as I write this--I did not intend to cut them, but (gardening lesson #422), the...
