Insomnia (Anne Stuart)

I don’t know if I slept at all last night.  I went to bed listening to an audiobook, as always.  Well, wait, maybe I need to back up.  I’ve been pushing myself a lot.  So on Saturday night, exhausted, I went to bed at 9 pm.  Fell immediately asleep, and woke up at nine on ...Read more.

SQUALOR ON THE RIVER (Anne Stuart)

I’ve been spending the last week at Jennifer Crusie’s Mansion o’ Fun on the Ohio River, and having a wonderful time with her and Lani.  We’ve been shopping and going out for healthy lunches.     (see me having an foodgasm over a single french fry after all my dietary goodness)   But mostly there ...Read more.

Audio Redux (Anne Stuart)

God, so I love audio books.  I love them with a fierce passion, and it’s probably easy enough to understand.  I assume everyone who reads this is either a reader or a writer and a reader.  We all started out loving books. Nancy Drew, horse books, ballet books, Cherry Ames, our grandmother’s Harlequins.  It doesn’t ...Read more.

ADVENTURE TIME (Anne Stuart)

I’m sitting on the train, heading down to New York City, and the internet isn’t working, so I’ll write my blog in Word and transpose it if the internet ever becomes active again.  I shouldn’t complain.  I’ve made this almost 10 hour trip often enough before internet became available, so I shouldn’t be so spoiled, ...Read more.

PROGRESS REPORT (Anne Stuart)

So I decided it was time for an all-new me, even more fabulous than before, and I thought I’d give you a status report.  Progress, not perfection is a 12 step saying, and since I’m not a perfectionist it’s one of my favorites.   So here are my own babysteps, in hopes of encouraging the rest ...Read more.

REINVENTING FABULOUS (Anne Stuart)

It’s time for a change.  I’m 63 years old and fat fat fat (I hate that word).  I feel bad.  My back hurts, my knees hurt, my stomach hurts.  I want to live forever.  I want to be as glorious as I can possibly be (though I’m not sure the world is ready for that).  ...Read more.

BOXING DAY (Anne Stuart)

I’ve been sitting here staring at the computer in a dazed stupor for the last half hour.  I was going to go through a list of the high points and low points of the last year, but I don’t want to think about negativity.  I’m too tired.  Maybe I’ll do that next week. In the ...Read more.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS (Anne Stuart)

I just read two absolutely fabulous historical romances.  They made me laugh, made me cry, turned me on.  They were glorious. And I happened to write them.  So long ago that reading them felt like reading someone else’s books, but someone I really really liked.  No, it’s not that I’m totally infatuated with my own ...Read more.

IVORY TOWER (Anne Stuart)

I need one.  An ivory tower, that is.  I’ll need an elevator if I plan to leave, since I don’t do massive flights of stairs that well.  Then again, if I’m up there long enough and grow my hair down to the ground then maybe a very smart prince will climb up and then … ...Read more.

This ‘n that (Anne Stuart)

Why am I always overwhelmed?  I’m willing to be at least half of you are overwhelmed as well.  There always seems to be a million things I have to do, and never enough time to do it.  Today I have to deal with: 1. Writing a blog 2. finishing my copy edits 3.  keying in ...Read more.
