I had another nightmare about werewolves! I finally got some sleep last night and wouldn’t you know it, I spent the night running. Ever since I’ve started writing The Calling, my dreams have taken on an odd twist. Not that they weren’t odd before but I rarely have nightmares. Now, I find myself waking tired. You would be too if you spent the night running for your life! LOL My husband thinks I’ve gone over the deep end when I tell him about my dreams. I guess I would too if someone told me stories of blood and gore at breakfast. The worst part of the dreams are… I’m such a GIRL in them! LOL I run through the woods, screaming like a banshee, and end up in some life or death situation with some snarling, hungry thing that I just KNOW wants to have me for lunch and I end up turning into some sniveling snot-bag. Why can’t I be a kick-ass heroine in my dreams instead of the simpering little thing that always dies after the first act? I guess the werewolf dreams aren’t too bad. It DOES give me new ideas for my stories. At least I’m not dreaming of burying bodies now. That was last month. Of course, my husband wasn’t amused about those either, especially when I told him I had him helping me (in the dream) to dispose of nameless corpses. LOL He thinks there’s something seriously wrong with me. He’ll be carting me off to therapy soon. I’m sure of it! All material &copy2005-2012 to Lily Graison

I’m procrastinating again. I tend to do that quite often as of late. Pre-book release jitters, maybe? Of course, when a book is finally released, I tend to procrastinate then, too. And after I finish writing one. I don’t really ‘need’ a reason, apparently. LOL My muse is just lazy. (muse = me, but I call HIM Benny!) I’m 38 pages into The Sequel now. I think its garbage, though. I sent it off to one of my test readers to be sure. Still waiting to hear from her. As soon as she tells me something, I may be able to move on. Or maybe not. It’s IS the weekend, which means I can relax and play if I want. Plus, my husband is at work tonight so it’s just me and the dog and he isn’t in a talking mood at the moment. Maybe I need music. I have ‘7 Days Away’ lined up on my iTunes player for this werewolf book. It worked with the first novel and for most of the Wicked books. Maybe I’ll dig around through the 1,000’s of songs I have and see if I’m inspired. Got any rec’s for good, paranormal sounding songs? I can listen to anything so suggest anything you like. Chances are, I already have it downloaded! All material &copy2005-2012 to Lily Graison

I’ve been chatting with another author about the differences between men and women when it comes to their sex life. A man, who has a sexual appetite to make even the most adventurous beg for a night of peace is hailed as a stud, the virtual ‘Playboy’ while a woman with the same desires is nothing but a slut, for lack of a better word. Also, an older man can bed a twenty-year-old and no one bats an eye. They give him high-fives and congratulate him but when an older woman takes a twenty-something year old man to her bed? She’s stamped with the moniker of ‘Cougar’ or ‘Cradle-robber.’ This entire conversation came after discussing a story where, the young college-bound girl didn’t want to start her ‘adult’ life as a virgin so, she naturally asked her very hot, best male friend to deflower her. Of course, he waffles around a bit before finally agreeing because you know, he’s secretly IN LOVE with her and she doesn’t know. Now, take that entire scenario and reverse it. A young man wanting to end his ‘virgin’ status and asks his best ‘girl’ friend to do the honors. Doesn’t that make it a bit sleazy? It’s almost as if he’s saying, “I don’t care for you a bit but can I have sex with you? Any girl will do, right?” Would the girl just say, “Okay,” and flop down on her back? Not any girl I know. She’d slap the dude silly and ask him, “What kind of a girl do you think I am!” It makes you wonder if the standards will ever change. I doubt it. It’s been like this forever. Almost every historical novel you read is like this to a certain extent. The young virgin bride who has to … Keep Reading! →
