• Goodie bags …

    So, I’m going to a women’s expo event in late October, and I’ve been asked to make some goodies to give away.

    And I have to idea what to do.

    I don’t have cover art for Karma Girl yet, so bookmarks are out of the question. So is anything else I could put the cover on, like mugs, nail files, mints, etc.

    I’m pretty much reduced to slapping my business card on something … I just don’t know what that something should be yet. I’m leaning towards chocolate, though. You can never go wrong with chocolate. Unless you put coconut on it. ;-)  Maybe I could find someone to make me some chocolate-shaped business cards. Not very practical, as they would get eaten, but they’d definitely be fun. Hmmm …

    What about you? What sort of goodies do you like to give and get at conferences? What do you keep? What do you throw away? Inquiring minds want to know …

  • Too much TV …

    2 Comments

    I have a confession to make — I watch way too much TV. Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Heroes, CSI, Project Runway … I watch all those shows and about a dozen more on a regular basis.

    My TV addiction doesn’t leave me much time to write and do writing-related things in the evenings. Which I need to start doing more and more of as my publication date creeps closer. 

    I just can’t seem to tear myself away from my programs. And I’ve liked just about every new show I’ve watched this year, which adds to my conundrum.

    Yes, it’s definitely time to cut back on the TV. I just don’t know where to start. I need help. Serious help. Here are the programs I watch and the new ones I want to keep watching, in no particular order:

    Desperate Housewives, Without a Trace, Prison Break, How I Met Your Mother, Heroes, CSI: Miami, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, NCIS, Veronica Mars, Smith, Lost, Project Runway, My Name is Earl, Ugly Betty, CSI, Grey’s Anatomy. I’m also going to give Friday Night Lights and 30 Rock a chance when they premiere.

    Which ones would you give up? Which ones would you keep? What about you? Has the boob tube taken over your life lately? Inquiring minds want to know …
