VAAAACATION!

Bon Jovi is taking over my life this week, so no writing for me.

It may happen that I doooo some writing while I'm out and about, but I kinda doubt it. LOL So--you can follow my nutty antics on Twitter along the side there. I can't guarantee anything will make sense as there will be drunk texting involved I can safely say.

LOL

So--be forewarned! LOL


I'll be back March 1st to start work again.

Hopefully I'll get to see this one LIVE on Monday night!

Progress 2.5.09

Ahhh another list from Cari. LOL Er...Helen. Hmm--I'm always wrapped into these things from SOMEONE! LOL

6 Things That Make Me Happy

1. Friends and Family (Lame, but true! LOL)
2. Bon Jovi (Yeah, pathetic, I know...but they reeeeally do!)
3. My Laptop w/Internet. (Honestly, I'm nearly dysfunctional without it! Proof this week!)
4. My Dog - Stu (Stupid puppy grin gets me every time!)
5. Creating a character. (I love to go online and find pix, figure out details and faults...well except with Nate. GRRRRR. LOL)
6. The Zone. - I love when it happens. That perfect place where the writing is just FLOWING like every clichéd liquid anything. LOL

Progress: Home's just about finished. I have the entire day to myself tomorrow so I'm going to play with Nate and Miranda and see what happens.

Consecutive Days of Writing = 2

Word Count = 1200 + (still working)

16 Things...

Cari Quinn (crit partner extraordinaire) put this up on her blog, so I'm just going to answer mine on my own blog. ;)



1) Favorite beverage? Mt. Dew--almost all varieties--except Code Red.

2) I started writing by entertaining a childhood friend with a story about our favorite rock stars. I was oh...about 14.

3) I used to be a storyteller--see #2. I used to tell them out loud first. Then changed to paper soon afterward.

4) I'm an epic JoviHead. Even have a bit of fanfic out there. My 'first' book isn't in a drawer. The good, the bad and the ugly is on the Internet for anyone to see.

5) I've been to 3 colleges and only have an AAS in Graphic Design.

6) I finished my first NaNoWriMo right out of the gate--first year I tried it, I finished it.

7) I'm an official member of the RWA!

8) Facebook is my current addiction, with a quickly mounting obsession with blog building.

9) I've seen Dirty Dancing, literally over 100 times. My Mom and I watched it twice every weekend for just about a year. It was also the first movie that I paid to see twice in the theater.

10) I have no sense of direction. It's comedy at its best when we do roadtrips! BUT, I always make it there! GPS does help, let me tell you!

11) I'm a self taught egghead. I love the computer. I should just officially call it my BF.

12) My favorite author is Nora Roberts/JD Robb. LaNora is my inspiration. I ran out of books from her (is that possible?! LOL Well, it was back in the late 80's, she wasn't as prolific yet.) and decided to give it a go. Oy! Talk about terrible. LOL But she's the reason I picked up the pen.

13) I'm a little addicted to TV. Yeah--it's a sickness. Sexual Tension and couples that just may never be are my favorites. LOL ie. Bones. *sigh* Hellooo DB!

14) Cari and I are Rhapsody addicts. Half of our crit night is passing songs back and forth.

15) I'm petrified of the R letter. I know I have to get at least one. LOL I just don't want to see that thin little letter in the enevelope with my name on it. Bills are bad enough, man!

16) Two things I really want? To make my living as a writer and to have an office that's shaped like a tower with a wrap around desk and me in the middle with walls of books and electronics.
LOL


Okey doke--there's me! Feel free to pass the 16 around.

Welcome

Hello there!

Welcome to my little corner of the world. I've been writing for...gosh, over half my life now. Talk about crazy, huh?

I figured it was high time I figure out this blog thing for personal things. I've been blogging in the Jovi world for quite a long time, but I needed a place that was just for me and not my Jovi persona. Tara is...

• a writer.
• a tech head who loves her gadgets.
• a jewelry designer
• a Jovi-head (aka - Bon Jovi fanatic)

I'm working on my first novel, Strength in Numbers (SIN for short). It's a paranormal romance that's hopefully going to fit in over at the Harlequin Nocturne line of books. *crosses fingers*

I'm also planning on doing the November, National Novel Writing Month contest at NanoWriMo.
This is the topic I'll be freaking out the most about. LOL

I drool over the Best Buy and Circuit City circulars every weekend. I want, I want, I want is always in my vocabulary.

I'm putting together a website for the jewelry thing. I love beaded design.

I'm a Bon Jovi fanatic! If you love Jovi, drop me a line, I'll always respond! Hell, drop me a line at all and I'll respond.


Okay, that's all you could ever want to know about me. So...I'm closing this badboy up. Normal blogging crap on it's way soon.
