Okay, so I have this whole, long, drama-queen story about why I’ve been offline almost all day today . . . but that’s not why I’m posting. I’m posting to say: get on over to Krista Phillips’s blog before midnight (central) Thursday, November 4. ...

Last year, I shared a list of the “scariest” movies I’ve ever seen. (Proving once and for all what a total wimp I am when it comes to scary movies. If you want to see a list of movies that’ll scare the socks off of you, check out cousin Caleb’s Horrorfest on his blog.)

Kaye Dacus I've updated my appearances page with events in Nashville in November and December; a book signing in Mandeville, Louisiana, Dec. 21.; and a workshop at the NOLA STARs conference in Shreveport, Louisiana, next March.

Kaye Dacus Since when did being a Size 18 disqualify someone from being beautiful and worthy of love?

Source: kayedacus.com
Those of you who’ve read Stand-In Groom know that I gave the character of the romantic heroine (Anne) a somewhat unusual twist: I made her a plus-sized woman at 5′11″ tall and a size 18. ...

As I mentioned at the beginning of the month, my local writers’ group is doing our own version of NaNo in October (I’m way behind where I should be!). I’ve been sending out encouragement and challenges every day, usually a word count. But yesterday, Tuesday I sent this:

Kaye Dacus Writing Marathon and Ransome’s Crossing Updates

I would have posted this earlier, but I had to type in what I hand-wrote yesterday so I’d have an accurate word count to report. While the volume is nowhere near what it needs to be to get this manuscript ...

For me...which to see again...Grand Canyon, Yosmite, Yellowstone, Mesa Verda...I wish I could take my kids to those like my dad did for us. Like someone said last night, it's like going home and nothing has changed.

Kaye Dacus What are you doing in October?

Source: kayedacus.com
Today is October 1 and that means one thing: MTCW Marathon Month. That also means that I’m only two months away from the deadline for Ransome’s Honor and, as per my usual M.O., I barely have a third of the book written. So, something’s gotta give.
