Guidance
I would have added an entry sooner...if my internet was working. (GRRR..ok I'm over it) I have been thinking about the this whole book deal gig again. I have sent off an enquiry letter to another agent and I'm awaiting any type of response. But the longer it takes the more I wonder if I'm really cut...

Yay, Christmas...no, seriously.
As wonderful as this book opportunity was, I, in the end, didn't take it. I read the contract they sent me by email. It was by email-I was expecting a hardcopy and I wasn't expecting it so soon. That made me feel like something wasn't right. So I googled them, the agents. What I read about them was...

Hands up if you like writing?
Book Update: The agent is NY is very interested. The review was positive and the most delicious words I have ever read in an email were written to me: ''We would be proud to represent you'' Delicious right? All I need now is a critique done, to see what needs a-polishin'. But even so, the beginning...

Both Sides of the Page
Okay I know I haven't been around as much. I know, I know, I'm sorry for that. The only time I get to write daily is after I get back from work. And we all know what happens to me when I get back from work, so I'm not going to open up that pandora's box. Sugar sips cup of coffee to focus herself. I...

The Music that He Made
I have come to realize that the music I listen to has one thing in common. A saxophone. Or at least, a pretty large big band in the back ground, with a saxophone as part of the wind section. 'I must have been a saxophone player in a past life,' I tell myself, 'Or at least married to one.' I imagine...

The Break Up
The girl I work with today had a dilemma. She and her boy had been going out only a few months and now he was proving to be uninterested in her blaming it in college work. A couple weeks before today she had said to me that she sent him a text message to check in with him, see how everything was,...

Nothing makes you hate people more than working in the service industry. Nothing makes you want to curse yourself for not taking a sick day than a customer who thinks they are completely right and you, the sales person, is a compulsive liar.Let me tell you this now. I may get paid to smile, I don't...

Interested?
Book update: the agent in NY is interested. I feel nauseous because of that. It's only the beginning and I may need to try and try again but this is the furthest I have ever come and hope that the manuscript will no longer just be sitting there collecting dust. Those 500 hundred words took, oh...a...

Sugar Kane: Cake Lover
Sugar Kane stands up yet again, proudly this time, and proclaims without fear: 'My name is Sugar and I am not afraid of carbs.' That's right. Now you may gasp at such a proclamation but it's true. Carbohydrates are my friends. They are there for me when I need them. They never fail on turning up...

Stuff and the Bad Economy.
'Oy gevalt!' I exclaimed in my head as I opened the doors to my closet, 'You have a lot of stuff.' No matter what I do to rid myself of unwanted belonging, more seems to grow out of the walls of said closet. I have a problem. Sugar_Kane stands up, puts her hand on her heart and proclaims: 'I am...
