Sweating with This, that and the other thingMarch 10, 2008
From author Carly Phillips: I have decided to jump start my next book by embarking on the Sweating with Sven - 70 Days of Sweat Challenge, a support blog whose goal is to get authors to write 4 - 6 pages a day, resulting in a book in 70 days. 252 writers have signed up for the challenge which runs from March 1 - May 16. I admit to being behind already, but I'm raring to go now and with the knowledge that others are sweating along with me, and with daily blogs of encouragement, I'm ready to tackle my current work in progress." Carly says to ask her on May 17 how she did. Admitting it publicly here gives her even more added incentive! (Heck, I'm sweating just thinking about, but good luck to all you brave souls out there who sign up. I'll let you know how it ends.)![]() From author Linnea Sinclair: P.E.A.R.L. (Paranormal Excellence Award for Romantic Literature) is a reader's choice award naming the "best of the best" in ten paranormal categories. Sara Reyes became the Manager of Publicity and Promotions for PNR (Paranormal Romance) and PEARL 2008 marks the 10th Anniversary. PEARL has been responsible for bringing our genre to the attention of the romance reading public as well as for the growth of the paranormal romance egroup to 2811 members as of today. And the award winners are: Anthology - On the Prowl by Sunny, Karen Chance, Patricia Briggs, Eileen Wilks And I found this on Marjorie Liu's blog: Because books are beautiful, here is a list of the world's best digital libraries. Some may require membership before you can access their resources, but oh, I love the web. (Me too Marjorie, unfortunately I've become somewhat obsessed with the internet. Darn that MySpace!!)

In response to: Sweating with This, that and the other thing Jennifer St. Giles commented: Hey Barbara! LOL, guess there's no way to hide a particular fondness I have for a certain Scot. Combine some fun, him, and raising money for the breast cancer foundation and other charities that focus on women and children and you have a great time.

In response to: Sweating with This, that and the other thing Swansong commented: I was very fortunate to have been one of the recipients of a hug from Mr Butler at the first GALS convention, but even when HIMSELF is not in attendance, the GALS fan conventions in Las Vegas are a blast. I am unable to attend this year's event, but hope to attend as one of the Gerry inspired published authors in 2009!

In response to: Sweating with This, that and the other thing IListen commented: Unfortunately, I have not had the please of meeting Mr.Butler, but that has not stopped me from being a proud GAL and supporting all of their endeavors. This will be my first year at the convention. I'm looking forward meeting all of my new friends, helping a worthy cause, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, meeting published authors, including Ms. St. Giles (being an avid reader and librarian makes that an exciting activity)and generally having a good time. Thank you for mentioning the event. Come and join the fun!

This will be 3 for 3 for me, and it is going to be spectacular. Can't wait to see all my friends again and to rally for a great cause.

In response to: Sweating with This, that and the other thing Susan commented: Wow! A mention for the Gerard Butler Fan Convention in Las Vegas - how cool is that! I've attended the previous two and can't wait for #3 this year. It is a spectacularly good time, shared with friends who "get" what it is we see in that hot Scot, Mr. Butler. I always look forward to meeting the published authors as well, and seeing what new treats they have for us! And this year we get the added treat of seeing Gerry in The Phantom of the Opera on the BIG SCREEN again, as it should be seen! ***le sighs***
