SNOW DAY!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Well, as people in other parts of the country may or may not know, there's a blizzard here in Colorado. And my job, in its not-so-infinite wisdom has declared not one but TWO snow days! Hell yeah! I've spent the day sleeping, watching trash television, and reading. Tonight, I will spend writing. I do my best writing between 1 am and 5 am. I have a process. I like to sit in a dark room with my laptop and write. So that's what I'll do tonight.

I also got my official membership to Romance Writers of America. Yeah me! I now plan to join 2, possibly 3, chapters: Heart of Denver Romance Writers; Passionate Ink; and Colorado Romance Writers Inc.

I am so excited to meet other aspiring and published writers!

Happy Snow Day!

Random Thoughts

I haven't blogged in like a month. You may ask what have I been up to? Well, I'm STILL polishing my novel and writing-and re-writing- my query letter.

I'm also realizing that I'm WAY behind the times. A couple weeks ago I checked out the first season of 'Queer as Folk' from my local library. Luckily they have self-checkout because I felt just the tiniest bit conspicuous with that box in my hand. Kind of like when you go to buy condoms. Everyone knows what you're going to be doing later that night.

Anyhoo, I don't have cable so I never got a chance to watch QAF when it was new and exciting. But I did watch 'The L Word' and I really enjoyed that show. With 'L' I was hooked immediately. I have to say that it took at least 4 episodes of QAF before I really got into it. I don't know why. Maybe because it was so raw. I mean, all they needed was to show an actual erect penis and it would've been gay porn. Shocking!

But eventually I came to enjoy the show. And now I have my faves. Emmett cracks me up, he's my favorite character. I think Ted is really hot. Michael I can take or leave. And Brian can't act. Also, aside from Brian and Michael, the other characters get no play. Except for that little boy, Sunshine. Seriously people, that's like illegal and kind of creepy.

There are still moments in that show that make me cringe in a way that doesn't happen with 'L.' Maybe it has to do with the more gritty storylines. I mean men, even gay men, are still men. I don't know many men that go for softer, more emotional storylines.

So, what about you? QAF or The L Word?
