Progress Friday
No actual writing progress to account for today, but good news and progress in other aspects of life to squee about!
Finished my last exam today - the last ever paper to complete this darn degree I started last century it seems! Managed to recall my study material, answer all the questions, and still hand in the answer book with 15 minutes to spare on the countdown. Go me!
So that's all my update for today. Now I can come back to the world of the living and get some work done.

Link Thursday: Top 9 Lies Women Tell Men
Hey peeps!
D-1 to the dreaded exam. Consequently, being immersed in textbooks and other persuasive text parlance that reads like utter gibberish and makes no sense whatsoever - I didn't subject you to a Wednesday ramble. Still, it's hard to be away from the blog, especially when blogging seems to be one of the sane things in your life.
So without further ado, here's today's link up. I got it from the Cosmopolitan Australia site, and you can access the to get the pics accompanying each '...

Tidbit Tuesday: The Revolving Book
Hey beautiful people
It's exam time so I'm not gonna be much into content-intensive posts this week. However, that doesn't mean there won't be any content whatsoever on the blog!
For today, I have a message from a dear friend I want to put across. Her name is Joanna D'Angelo, and I met her through Facebook a couple years ago through the group she had on there, Love Romance Novels. We went on to become friends, and Joanna invited me to participate in her pop culture blog, originally called MissM...

Random Thoughts' Monday: Catching Up...
Hey peeps
Do you know this feeling when everything is catching up with you? Rolling, snowballing, a huge swallowing of dread gathering just behind your back and waiting to engulf you the minute you let your guard down? That's where I am right now.
D-3 to the exam, and if you ask me to sit for that paper today, I can assure you I will fail. I have no idea still what I am studying. Yes, the study guide and textbook material make sense, in a weird twisted way, but do I recall what I'm reading? Nop...

Six Sentence Sunday
Hey beautiful people!
Thank goodness Blogger is up and running today. Haven't been able to get on for the past couple of days and it's a huge relief to find everything working normally today.
Gotta say I'm getting addicted to posting out these little snippets for Six Sentence Sunday. Lol, no one said it gets this addictive, something you just have to do, and that you wait for every week. I hope these tidbits make you peeps happy too. :)
So, without further ado, here's today's six. Remember last ...

Link Thursday: 18 Clues He's Still Crazy About You
Hey peeps
Apologies for no Writing Wednesday post yesterday. My Internet connection was hit and miss for most of the day, and add to it the fact that my brain is also in hit and miss mode at the moment, I didn't want to subject anyone to a totally senseless ramble (yes, even more senseless than usual!).
Back on board today, and wanted to keep it light and sweet. Digging through my Links trove, found this one. Perfect for all the in-a-couple women out there - whether in Real Life or fictional! S...

Tidbit Tuesday: Spotlight on Hollywood Swinging
Hey peeps!
Today I'm featuring a book by my good friend and critique partner, . This is Chicki's 3rd published book, and, on top of having critted this ms for her, the cover has been designed by yours truly (okay, okay, I'm allowed a shameless plug, aren't I? *grin*)
Here's the blurb:
Newlywed author Shontae Nichols Burke is trying to adjust to her life in Hollywood as the wife of actor Devon Burke, one of the film industry's brightest upcoming stars. She's left her home and her frie...

Random Thoughts' Monday: Routines and, uh, stuff...
Hey peeps
New week, new routine. Yeah, I know - how can routine be new? Well, if you're like me, juggling different tasks so much your whole persona starts to change with every cape you don, you'd have a routine for everything.
There's the housewife/mum routine, where super-early-tweeters that are your kids bulldoze your sanity to kingdom come the minute you perceive they are awake from the depths of sleep, and where the TV and the GameBoy or Playstation console is your BFF/nanny/super-dumper. ...

Six Sentence Sunday
Hey beautiful people
Once more, it's Sunday! Whew - where does the time go, eh? I sit down on most weekends (when I do find a minute to sit down, that is) and wonder where the past week has gone. Half the time, I have absolutely no idea! [not to mention that this past week has been one amazing ride - check the blog to see what I'm talking about]
So, Sunday... SSS... and if I'm not mistaken, it's Mother's Day today in the US. We celebrate it on the last Sunday of May here in Mauritius, but anywh...

Hey beautiful people
I'm sorry I haven't posted for the past 2 days. It's been a whirlwind here - if you think it all ends with netting a publishing contract, you're soooo far off the mark! It all starts with the contract.
So, since Tuesday, I've been dealing with the amazing folks over at Noble Romance Publishing. They're a huge, huge help with setting everything up and figuring out the lay of the land, so to speak. And... I have a release date!!
