So it’s been a while since I’ve blogged with any regularity. I could give you all the reasons (most if not all of them very valid), but I’ll spare you the boring details. Trust me, they’re not that exciting.
It’s not January so it’s way too late for New Year’s resolutions. And I’m not a true believer in them anyway since it’s usually things we want to do yet most often times do them for a few weeks, or months at best.
Instead I’m starting fresh. I’ve got a new line up and I’m thinking this will keep things running smoothly.
Here goes:
Monday Musings – thoughts about Writing…it is a writing blog after all. :)
Tuesday Ten – Ten things about, well pretty much anything. And during the summer we’ll have a guest blogger, SB Jane, who will be doing the Tuesday Ten.
Wednesday Wanderings – Rabbit trail day. Anyone who knows me – knows that I’m pretty good at rabbit trails. LKap’s been known to have a few rabbit trails which I think has come about from hanging with me.
Thursday Rambling – LKap’s day to tell it like she sees it, perhaps a rant, or really anything that’s on her mind.
Friday Fun – What kind of fun? Anything from jokes to yummy eye candy to what we’re reading at the time.
Tomorrow starts our Tuesday Ten with SB Jane and she’s talking all things Twilight. Come back to read her ten things and leave your own comments.
Yes I know, I’ve just started / restarted and today’s is supposed to be about writing, but really, you got start somewhere. :)
So, what do you think about the new line up? Is there something else you’d like to see?
And if you’d like to guest blog on one of the days please send me an email at vickilanewrites@yahoo.com. We’d love to have you.
Hugs,
Vicki

Welcome To Vicki's World
Today’s my first official blog. Who will read it? Maybe no one but I decided to start doing this after our TARA (Tampa Area Romance Authors…see link on the right) meeting in March. We had Shannon Aviles as our speaker. One of the things she spoke about was blogging and how we needed to do this now before we were published. So, here I am.
I guess for the first blog I’ll tell you a little about me. I’m a writer. I write paranormal and romantic suspense. Okay, so you probably figured that out from the header.
Actually I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember. Writing short stories and even little plays that my sister and I would act out when we were very young. Not much else to do on a Friday night when your 8 years old.
My favorite memory of writing, the one that made me realize that I could do this was when I was in 8th grade (hmmmm….could be a pattern here with the number 8). Our teacher put pictures on the blackboard, yes, I said blackboard. They didn’t use whiteboards back then. Anyway, she asked us to pick a picture and write a short story. Somewhere in the story the scene in the picture had to take place. I was so proud of my story and couldn’t wait for the “A” I was sure to get. Nope, not even close. The lady gave me an “F” and wrote a note to my mom that I should not be allowed to copy a story from “True Romance”. Now, you must know that back in the day “True Romance” was considered erotica by many. My mom had to go to the school and tell the teacher that I had not copied it but wrote the entire story myself. I got an “A” but the teacher always gave me weird looks after that.
I currently live in Florida with a wonderful man who I’ll call Science Guy (no it’s not Bill Nye). I have two grown people, can’t really call them children anymore, but they’re my kids and I’m so proud of them. My daughter is a teacher in Arizona and my son is in college and works full time.
The other two loves of my life are my puppies, Meshia (a Shih-Tzu) and Sassy (a Chihuahua).
I love to read and at the present time I’m reading J. R. Ward. Wow. She is an incredible writer. Even if you don’t like paranormal I promise you will love her books.
My favorite place to chill is the beach. I know, I know what about the whole sun thing. Wear sunscreen and a hat. I love to hear the water hitting the shore. To me it’s one of the most peaceful sounds and I can truly relax there.
Okay, enough about me. Why don’t you tell me something about you like where is your favorite place or who is your favorite author. Do you have pets? What kind of music do you like?
Enjoy your day.
