Yet another Blog Flog. (EDIT: Two blog-flogs in one, since she wrote two entries that needed assaulting!)



"Then the next day arrived, the adrenaline rush receded and I hit my moody phase. I do this after every book. Jon and Darla know this and anticipate it. It always seems to catch me by surprise."

Okay...and you've written HOW MANY books? And are still supprised with a mood swing that happens every time? I'm sorry, but that's...well...shit. It sure explains some of the books and their plotlines porn content.

"Today I'll start the editing on MISTRAL'S KISS."

AUGH!!! NO!!!! God help us all, woman, HIRE AN EDITOR! One that isn't...yanno...YOU!!!

She claims to have mild dyslexia, yet she EDITS HER OWN BOOKS? Everyone, pray to the diety for guidance.

"Begin to finish up the editing on the short story collection, STRANGE CANDY, that's coming out in the fall."

Seriously, she needs to hire a NOT-HER editor. No, REALLY.

"Well, truthfully, I won't get both of those writing tasks done today, so I guess sufficient unto the day."

Does this sentence make any damn sense? I mean, I get what she's trying to say but it's worded in the most god-awful of ways.

I've said it before, I'll say it again...and this woman is a PUBLISHED WRITER?

"Trin had expressed a desire to learn archery. The desire has survived the causal mention stage, so for Easter she got her first bow."

Uhm. The kid is how old? This is her first Easter where she admits she doesn't believe in the Easter Bunny? UHM. I say this now as the most rabid weapon-lover of all time, with my own adoration of getting kids started young...THERE IS SUCH A THING AS TOO YOUNG.

"Jon and I had thought about archery, but neither of us had done it in about twenty years."

Oh yes, GREAT idea, guys! Hand a weapon to a CHILD when you yourself have probably forgotten every iota of weapon safety!!! Do not fear my sarcasm.

"Jon and I got fitted for bows, and arrows. We split a thing of arrows, and Wade cut them down to our respective sizes, mine being smaller than Jon's."

Point in case, it isn't a THING of arrows, it's a QUIVER of arrows, you dolt.

"Next weekend we get her fitted for arrows, and we'll begin a new hobby, as a family."

Yeah, uhhhh...as parents, you guys should have brushed up on your archery before getting the wee one involved. No, REALLY.

I dearly wish she'd mentioned what kinds of bows they all got...since they're talking about cutting arrows down to size I highly doubt they've gone with compound bows, and anything BUT a compound is a bitch-and-a-half to use. Ten to one we get future angst over her kid getting sick of the physical strain of using the weapon, if it is indeed not a compound.

As a hunter and weapons enthusiast, I will say it now...these are the kind of people who make me angry. An adult who can't even properly name the equipment is NOT suited to teaching a CHILD how to operate a weapon. This is...just...bad. Goddamn.
