PSA: Attention Writers

From morrigandaughtr: My writing mentors, who kick ass and take initials, are teaching these highly sought-after workshops for the first time in years. If you are wanting to break into writing, or even just seriously thinking about becoming a writer, or are in a place with your writing where you want more information about writing fiction professionally, these are for you.

THE WRITING CAREER FROM THE FIRST SENTENCE TO PUBLICATION AND BEYOND.
(AKA the Kris and Dean Show)

Taught by Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith.

Why you gotta treat me this way, Monday???

I wish it would either decide to rain or not, because these yo-yo changes in barometric pressure are giving me a headache that hasn't let up since yesterday. I am greatly displeased about this. Somewhat relatedly, there has simply not been enough coffee in my life today! I keep hoping coffee will take care of the headache, but so far it hasn't even managed to clear away the morning brain fog. *grumps*

Yesterday was a complete laze-fest. I did nothing but read and watch t.v. all day! Go me! \o/ I finished reading Lynn Flewelling's Tamir Trilogy and it was fantastic! I really loved the way she delved into some really interesting gender issues in this series. Fascinating.

I also watched the Pro Bowl and Larry Fitzgerald was fantastic! His smile makes me SMILE!!!

And I watched the Grammys, where Jennifer Hudson was fantastic. I don't care that she's a product of the American Idol machine; I love her! I also really loved the last-minute Justin Timberlake, Al Green and Keith Urban number and Lil Wayne's tribute to New Orleans with Robin Thicke, Allen Toussaint and Terence Blanchard. Some great performances!

Not great, IMO, was saddling Stevie Wonder with those Jonas kids. And one of them yelling out, "show me what you got, Stevie." Really? Are you kidding me, child??? I would have liked to have seen Stevie slap him across his bushy-haired head!

But since we're on the topic of music, last week stormcloude gave me the letter M in that I-give-you-a-letter-you-give-us-some-music meme that was going around. ( So here's some music brought to you by the letter M. )

In baseball news, Alex Rodriguez has apparently admitted to steroid use. The truth was definitely the prudent choice here, Mr. Rodriguez. In better baseball news, though, PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORT THIS WEEK!!!!!!!! There shall be another installment of "The Hot Men of MLB" later today to celebrate. *g*

The Hot Men of MLB, Vol. 2 -- Hotass Catchers Edition

On the off chance that my frequent and excited babble over Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder hasn't made it abundantly clear, let me just state for the record that, yes, it's true, I've got a massive thing for catchers! I don't know if it's because good catchers are smart, and I'm a sucker for a smart man, or if it's the amazing thighs and ass that come of all those hours squatting, but whatever the reason I love me some hotass catchers!!! ♥ So, since catchers and pitchers report this week (!!!), today's installment of The Hot Men of the MLB features ( HOTASS CATCHERS!!! )

It's sometimes hard to see the man buried underneath all of that catcher's equipment, so I hope y'all can now better appreciate the sexiness that can be found behind home plate! *g*

If you missed the earlier edition of "The Hot Men of MLB," volume 1 is here.

And finally, if you're like me and you've found yourself lamenting the fact that April is still almost two months away, you might like these 'Is it April yet?' icons by awkwardiconic. I have the feeling that I'll be using them a lot between now and Opening Day.
