Past my bedtime

I put off the ugly baby review for another day. Just can't get the gumption to write something I don't want to write.

But I have been working today. I judged two contest entries for my local RWA chapter as a discrepancy judge. One was ....not an ugly baby but.... and the other was almost perfect. Loved the story, the style and the premise. Not to mention the h/h tension. I think I'll be reading that as a published novel some day....

I've also been plotting the current WIP. I'm taking a different route on this one: tarot cards. Yeah, I know--I know nothing about them other than they're pretty. But I'm taking an online course by a very talented Tarot reader & novelist who is one of the best online instructors I've had. I've been toying with my hero's issues over the past few days, and tonight when I drew his Call to Action card, things started to fall into place. An English professor who hates the classics and finds myth overrated...that's the tortured soul I've been hearing about!

I also got a nice bit of news earlier this evening. An online article I wrote for a diabetes magazine was selected for the print version, due out in July or August. Just gotta get 'em a bio and photo. My favorite part of the writing process...

Off to draw a card for my heroine's Call to Action. I could do this all night...well, if I knew anything else about Tarot cards, I could...lol
