It’s time for another give-away! There’s a signed Print copy of A Touch of Heaven waiting for the winner of this contest.

This time, we’re going to have a little fun. Have you ever played the game, Dirty Minds? Well if not, put on your thinking caps!

I’m going to list 10 descriptions of every day items/things and you have to guess what they are. The ‘trick’ is…you have to keep your mind OUT of the gutter to get them right! No answer is ‘dirty’ in nature, just the clues.

The person who emails me with the most correct answers will win the book. I’ll list the answers and the winner on November 30.

Mail your answers to lily.graison@gmail.com with ‘Contest 5’ in the subject line.

There’s sometimes lipstick on my stick when you’re done.

6. I have to roll up my hose when I’m done.

I’m thrilled to announce a brand new ePublisher that has just opened its doors today. Alinar Publishing is the home to a growing list of authors offering romance ebooks, free reads and short stories, many of which are under a dollar! Go take a look at the beautiful website and have a great read!

I managed to write 3,000 words yesterday. It’s not much, but after the months of sitting here staring at my manuscript and nothing coming out, I’m pleased. I hope it wasn’t just a one time thing. I’ve been working on this particular story for 3 years now. Yes, I know. Get it done already! But – it isn’t that easy. The plot is full of twists and I hate outlines, so I have to try and keep everything in order in my head. It’s a lot of work but I can’t do it any other way. I’m a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ kind of writer and having everything all planned out just–sucks the fun out of it for me. I’d rather be surprised by the twists and turns just as my characters are. The story is always more interestig when I experience everything right alone with my Hero and Herione. It keeps it fresh. Plus, if I already know everything that is going to happen, then why do I need to bother writing it down? LOL

The short Halloween story I’ve been working on…is trash. I hate it. Actually hate is too mild. It totally sucks to be honest. I’ve changed it around, deleted, added on and still–its garbage. *sigh* Why can’t I write anything usable!

Off to sulk and try to think up something ingenious.

Since my book is finally available in Print, I’m going to be giving away a few signed copies. The first contest is running now. Visit the Contest page on my website to find out how to enter. The deadline to enter is September 30th.

Well, I just cut 5 pages of text out of my current WIP. Man do I ever hate doing that. It seems like such a waste. And this isn’t a case of just using it somewhere else. This can’t be used again in this story–maybe not any. Oh well, it happens, right?

Of course–we now have the task of re-writting a fat chunk of the beginning which will drastically change the entire story line. Hopefully it’ll be a better change and not leave me with a big gapping whole I can’t work myself out of, which is why I had to cut the beginning to start with.

A viscious cirle. Thats what it is.

My website is back online. Luckily it was only down for a day, so all is good.

I’ve been going through my story files and found an interesting little story I started way back when. I don’t think it’s anything BOOK worthy but maybe a free read? It’s at 6 pages so far so you may see it sometime soon. I have tons of others too. If I had a full novel for every snippet I’ve started, I’d have enough material to last me the next 10 years! Too bad the usual dead-end always puts the breaks on a good start.

I’ve been working on the Newsletter and for the life of me, I can’t find one intersting thing to put in it! There’s no new ‘news’ to report – no books to feature…nothing. I really hate resorting to eye candy but it looks like it may be my only option. Cross your fingers I find something interesting to say other than “Oh…look at those abs!” lol

lilygraison.com is down. I apparently didn’t renew it. It looks like – they’d send a NOTE or something telling you – “Hey, this thing is going to shut off if you don’t pay me.” but no – you have to wait for someone to try and access it and email you before you know. *rolls eyes* I guess I need to make myself a note for next year!

I finally got the blog template working. There seemed to be an issue with the original files the template maker had hosted. It exceeded bandwidth constantly. So, they moved them and viola! The layout is showing up.

No writing this week. I’ve been helping Gayle Eden/Eve Abury. She needed help with her website, so I tore in to it and completly overhauled it for her. She’s thrilled with the way it turned out – which pleases me to no end. I still have her links page to go through. Some of her links were dead and I just copied them as is, so – a little more work there and we’ll be done.

I got a rather ammusing story idea yesterday. I won’t say what it is other than it involves naked cowboys! LOL It should be interesting and FUN to write. It’s looking to be a romantic comedy of sorts, so it should be a hoot to write. Now I just have to find the time to actually WRITE it. Oh well. It’ll go in the ‘story’ file with all my other brilliant ideas. LOL
