Shell-Shocked!!!
Okay...so what would be a perfect start to my SweetMan and I's Romance Writers of America National Conference Week in DC?
What started out as an innocuous (SweetMan thought of that word...oh yeahhhh...he's a real Webster) trip to the Smithsonian National Zoo turned into a rather "shell-shocking" experience...
Talk about erotica romance...how's this for observing animals in their natural habitats...?!!!
These giant turtles are creating their own steamy scene...

It's All About Happily Ever Afters...Well...And The Fabulous Farces That Get You There!!!
As a wanna-be Romantic Comedy Queen, it's up to me to take my sexy, sassy, smart, career-driven women and hook 'em up with some smarter and sexier-than-hell hero to create a fabulous fairytale of a Happily Ever After.
How fun is that job?!
And to take it wayyyyy up a good notch or two...by writing Romantic Comedies, I get the added bonus of coming up with an outrageous farce to bring my hero and heroine together, threaten their sanity by staying together, then going-for-the-gusto of love by keepin' 'em together for that Happily Ever After.
You know the type of story I mean...that 'When Harry Met Sally', 'Because I Said So', 'Something's Gotta Give' keeper kinda' story that you can watch or read over and over and over and laugh and/or cry a thousand times.
And as much of a hoot as the characters are on their own merit, there's something just sooooo wrong that it's sooooo right about the way they get together - that magical farce of a first meeting that forever changes their destiny.
Some of us writers have experienced that same kind of once in a lifetime happily ever after, and writer Janie Mason has created a very special page to honor the end result of those serendipity-like moments. Check out her Happily Ever After Page at

Do any of you out there have your own farce-ful, slap stick comedy Happily Ever After stories?
We'd love to hear 'em...c'mon don't be shy...post your how-you-got-it Happily Ever Afters right here with us!

P.S. I'll be posting soon about one such story. Here's a prequel...check out Speed TV's "Wrecked: Life In The Crash Lane". I just met the Gratziannas, the stars of the show, and wow do they have a heckuva story! Here's the link: www.speedtv.com/programs/wreckedLabels: Lovin' and Livin'

Looking Through Love-Colored Glasses
Since Sweet Man became the guardian of my heart and soul, my life hasn't and will never be the same.
The everyday became magical carpet rides. The good in life became better still. And the not-so-good became tolerable, not-so-bads...shared burdens, stumbling blocks to walk through, around or over together to secure our future and happiness.
It feels so different, but different in an amazing and wonderful way, traveling life's journey with your soul mate watching your back. Laughing with you about your missteps. Loving you for successes and failures. Leaning on you for the same support you never hesitate to give him in return. Sweet Man's unconditional love has forever colored the glasses with which I see the world. And trust me, I can't see crap without those puppies!!!
I've always embraced my life with gusto. Gone for all or nothing. Grabbed my fears by the neck and squeezed the life out of 'em. But even though I'm using those same MOs now that I used pre-Sweet Man - because that's who I am - the results are amplified beyond amplified because I'm living, loving and chasing dreams for not one heart but for two.
And here's why I know the love I have with and for him is soooo damn right...
I'm not losing myself, my dreams, my goals, and/or my happiness for his. There's no trading in my heart and soul for a new model built on his joys, likes and dislikes. I can be who I am - every quirky, that just ain't right piece of me - and he still loves me and is there for me, complete with his own quirks and imperfections.
He's taught me I do need someone. But that it's still okay to dance to my own crazy beats and beatitudes. That at the end of the day, nothing else matters. It's just you and me, he says.
Damn. He's one smart man.
Or am I smarter for listening to him?
