Oooh lah I'm a happy little cookie.
Why you ask? First...best friend got her first review and she ROCKED! She's garnered 5 flags from Euro Reviews and they said all this wonderful stuff about her: Kate Lang has written two very hot stories. The tension has been skillfully crafted and written so well that I almost cheered when the heroes made it into the bedroom with the heroines. Chelle and Diego's story was especially intense for me. I could almost hear the Latin beat playing in the background. Of the two stories, this one was my favorite. Torrid Teasers Vol. 8: Do You Want To Dance? and I Like It Like That are off the charts as far as steamy reads go. I wholeheartedly recommend readers to download a copy today and not miss out on these two stories. How friggin' cool is all that? So if you haven't gotten your hands on a TTV8...what the hell are you waiting for?
Plus Lily Ashford sold her second book to LSB! See, we were rookies together at LSB last fall and so I guess that makes us LSB sisters. Haha. Whoot! Lily!
All these successes...make me want to write. WRITE!!! Sweet sweet words.
Hopefully I'll get some wordage in before a bbq I'm going to tonight (at least I think I'm going. Hm...I should find out.) Oh and then there's a girl's night Saturday night meaning...Best Bud and I are going to sit around, get drunk and watch movies. Maybe some sappy romance...I'm thinking The Transporter.
I know, I know. I said "smokin' hot posts" but I'm just so darned pleased with all this good news vibrating amidst my small little writer's community. I never thought I'd be like this. Truly. I thought I'd be one of those petty bitchy writers who says "Congratulations dahlink" then bitch slap them behind their backs. I've seen it happen and I confess this has been one of my biggest fears. To become one of "those writers". But...I'm not. I whoo-hooed when I heard about the review for TTV8 and I whoo-hooed when Lily sold. I love when my fellow writing buds succeed even when I'm doing crap-all. Because I know when something fantabulous happens - they'll whoo-hoo just as loud.
It's hard to ponder writing a sexy hot post when I want to stand on the railing of my balcony and howl to the world that my Best Bud's book KICKED ASS and my LSB Sistah sold her second book. Well...maybe not stand on the railing, more like leaning over it. Yeah. Leaning over it.
Congratulations writing chix! You guys so deserve a frosty, alcohol laden beverage. I'll buy this round. You get the next ones because you're so successful now! Mmmmwah!

Ooooweee! First? YEAH BABY YEAH!
You know, leaning over the railing is much better as the alternative had me white as a sheet, almost sheeting my pants in fear, FEAR I TELL YOU, for this bohemian has vertigo and MERMAIDS ARE NOT MEANT TO STAND ON RAILINGS I TELL YOU!!!
Having said that, congrats to your fellow writers and as for you, you doubted how much you rock? For shame Ladee, FOR SHAME!
Cause let me tell you, YOU ROCK! Why else would I hang with you otherwise and go on super secret life saving, butt-kicking missions, huh? HUH?
That is SO cool!!! If I even get a 200 word article published, I think I will throw a million-dollar party!! Never mind that I have no idea where that money shall come from. Small matter. Bleah ;)
I can't see you being any way but wanting to celebrate good things happening to your mates. Mermaids are supposed to be all heart, no??
What do u mean "think" you're going to bbq? Thought it was all set, the one with no takeaway boys, right? Don't forget hangover posts Monday!!
GG xo
Morning Jenna,
A toast to all the sucessfull writers out there swimming in the sea. I do believe that you are *next*? Woo hoo!!!
I second GG, you *think* you are going BBQing????
When you lean over that railing, make sure you are securely bound, feet shoulder width apart...for safety.;)
B }\
Ahh..that should give you TONS of motivation for your own writing. Congrats to all the sistahs :)
Oh, and enjoy the BBQ!!
Congrats to your buds. And enjoy some mouf smackin' bbq.
Yooow-eee! Of course you're first Yummy Mummy!! No this mermaid shouldn't really be ANYWHERE near a railing.
Good Girl & Brian: I think I'm going. Have to find out today.
Dabich: yep...motivation.
Fuzz: Mmm...you make it sound so tasty!
Woot X's 2!!! You ladies really do rock and you ARE next!
BBQ.. I've forgotten what that tastes like.. :(
Congratulations to your friend! Bring on the smut!!! ;)
Yes yes, Paige. I know I know
Isabella: Mmm...bbq.
b..b..q..? Hope you're having fun in whichever form it comes in this Friday night!
I think I'm heading down to the pool. Sunny!!!
Smooches from a floundering fish to a Mermaid Extraordinaire,
GG xox
Thanks, Jenna :-) I'm not sure I deserve the accolades but I do appreciate them! And since we are LSB sisters...I'm dying waiting for the dark, dark sexy werewolves! (Have I mentioned I luuurve werewolves? *smacks lips*)
And...lean over the railing, my dear. I've tried standing on one, and it did NOT go well. Trust me. Not well. And I was a ballerina! Oh, and I was a bridesmaid in a wedding party, once, and they made us stand on this narrow stone ledge in 4 inch heels for a picture... Yeah. Fun.
Morning Jenna,
I hope you will have a wonderful weekend, have some fun writing and take a break when needed. We will be out shopping this afternoon, but drop me a line and let me know how you are doing with the book.
Apparently I was lied to GG...the bbq is today (Saturday) and it morphed from girls only to families. However, it's also Good Girls do Vanilla Vodka at Jenna's place tonight so it looks like I'm not going to the bbq.
Lily: You, my Piscean Sistah (whoo! we made a decision!) deserve all the accolades and more. So...hush it.
Brian: oops, *dashes off, opens up word file*
I just read the post below... cutting down on blogging? DAMMIT! SO who is gonna "eth"away with me and be a funkay Piscean Ladee clutz? WHO????
Oh crap this sucks! But, *sigh*, I understand!
Oh I'll still "eth" away with you because I'm a LADEE!!! And a Pisces one at that! K-kish!!!
Good girls doing Vanilla Vodka sounds like a recipe for delicious disaster. It's 3am where you are. You're either plastered and passed out or plastered and jumping on bed.
I'm not sure I know which to place my bets on :-)
GG xo
What about my reviews? Why don't I ever get four flags?
The entire weekend was a bust GG. An utter bust. Sigh.
That's not gasp! Kay Richardson commenting on my blog is it? Gaspity gasp gasp gasp.
Congrats to your buds! So glad you can be excited for them. You're sure to hit the big time soon, I personally can't get enough of your writings. While you're on an emotional high, write, girl, WRITE!! D
*GASPETYY GASP* He misses us I tell you Jenna!
About fucking time Kay!!! Hmph!
Yep, dropped by to tell you I got a visit from the K man himself and lo and behold, here he is!
Funkified! But you know? Ladees must be maintained with tender loving care! Especially Piscean ones at that!
Not so good, Mermaid? I assume girls night got lost or watered down by other detours.
Sigh away. I'm always good for a cyber shot of vodka :-)
Hugs,
GG xo
I don't know how Kay can ignore his ladees. I'm not feeling so forgiving because I know why he came by. To bump up his numbers *pout*. No love. NO LOVE!! You can ignore me for months and then swing by and say "yo". You can't! YOU CAN'T!! We have been blatantly neglected Yummy Mummy. You're absolutely right! We must be maintained. *sob* MAINTAINED!!!
Felinefrisky: Yay you have a blog name now, Diane!
Oh GG *sob* first the bbq was Saturday night NOT Friday but then Saturday was to be slumber party but that was cancelled because the slumberee went hiking (like UP a mountain!!) and was too pooped to slumber and I was to pooped to host because I had cleaned ALL FRIGGIN' DAY!! I mean once you go after scuff marks with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...you're gonna be exhausted. I can't believe I crawled over my floor. Now...I hurt. My knees, my back, my fingers from scrubbing. So...no slumbering was had.
I can't believe you scrubbed your house down to prepare for a party that you were too tired to host for a guest who was too tired to slumber.
LOL! Jen, somewhere in your DNA is a mutant whatever-DNA-carrying-things-are-called that says Murphy's Law.
I suggest you get that lasered out immediately. And then, please tell me all about the procedure.
PLEASE ;-)
GG xo
Oh you know it, GG.
And now I have aching thighs for no good reason. Sigh.
Aching thighs for no good reason?? LOLOL!!!
Must. Rectify. That.
Must!! ;-)
GG xo
Awesome post. I love your enthusiasm for others' successes--it will make our celebrations of your successes all the sweeter!
