After much thought, I have to decide to pull my novels out and start re-writing them, cleaning them up and then I am going to try whole-heartily to get them published. Even if I never write another one, I want these three and a few short stories I'm writing to be published.
I'm sure there will be comments and complaints about some of the content, but it is nothing that I am ashamed of having written. It was a place in my life, that reflected the world, and I don't think there is anything really wrong. The contemporary romances do reflect a life that doesn't really always happen. Most of my characters are rich or in a few of them, but for the most part, it is just life.
I hope you won't judge me to be wrong in this matter. I will be looking for comments, and support, and you will occasionally get to read a small excerpt from one of them.
Thanks for being my followers. I'll have some movie reviews soon.
Come into my world of writing. Here you will get glimpses of characters as I bring them to life on these small pages. Please stop by and visit often. Whether you are looking for warmth, fantasy, romance, or inspiration, comedy or just the ordinary, you have come to the right place.

What is Your Opinion
I have a dilemna and just want to get some opinions. I have written three romance novels and I have not done anything with them since I wrote them, except one, which I tried several times to get published. These were written some years ago, but I'm not ashamed of them, and they aren't pornographic. They are however a reflection of a lost world, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I wrote them for the most part, when I wasn't in or attending church. I no longer read romance novels, I read the occassional short story, or article in a magazine. I would like the opinion of my readers, especially those that are Christians. Do you think it is wrong to read or write/publish a romance novel?
My novel does depict intimacy between a husband and wife, but not graphic and not really detailed. So I really need some help here. Do I just throw them away and forget them? I spent a lot of time on them and although I know they need some work, I really don't want to see them ditched. Any solutions? Opinions? Help?
Love, L

Repo Men
We recently watched the movie Repo man with Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Liev Schrieber and a multitude of other people. It is based in the future and it is about a company called The Union who manufacturers hearts, livers, kidneys, etc. You sign papers, they finance the transplant, and if you forget to make payments, they repossess them. Now, it is a very weird movie, but it is good. I'm still trying to figure out the ending, as the DVD skipped at one place and threw us forward. Any way, I do recommend this for the watching if you haven't seen it. Rating it at three and half stars, because the jury is still out. Have a great day!
