Today, as I work feverishly on a literature review, I have to pause and do an excerpt. It’s not writing, but it’s at least something creative.

Hope you enjoy.

In the meantime, check out the first few pages of my NaNoWriMo ‘09 project, Educating Sophia.

All of you who have known me for awhile know that I’m an outliner. I have to have an outline, some character sketches, and all that jazz before an NW event. This go round, I wasn’t sure I would even make the time or have the time to do it, but I decided last minute to do it.

Now, I started with a title, a main character’s name, and a loose idea for the beginning, which has changed already…as you will learn in this podcast. LOL

Enjoy. Leave thoughts!

Up FIRST is To Catch a Cheat.

Cheater Investigator Carter Devlin, co-owner of F.A.C.E. (Finding All Cheaters Enterprises) lives by two rules: 1) all cheaters must be exposed and punished, and 2) never, ever fall in love. Playing patsy to her mother’s numerous infidelities as a child helps Carter keep #1 in check. Being assigned to Cheater Number 5302, Kenneth Stevenson, a man with George Clooney looks may lead Carter to break #2.

Carter finds herself falling in heat with Kenneth despite the facts that he’s a possible cheater and his wife, a vocal client during the investigation, happens to look eerily like her. When the investigation leads Carter to believe the wife is the actual cheater, she lets her inhibitions with Kenneth go, only to learn that her best friend and F.A.C.E. co-owner Vince Clark may be in love with her. As she battles her newfound heart over Vince and Kenneth, Carter has to keep one eye on Kenneth’s wife for as the saying goes, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Enjoy my taste of Carter, and LEAVE comments.

Every first of the month, CLG Entertainment will air a new TWL4U podcast.  The Write Life for You is based on a series of articles I write for APOOO Books.com.  The purpose of the series is to illustrate to writers – both new and old – that as wordsmiths, we must be lifelong learners of the writing craft.  This set of articles, which will be compiled and published some time in 2010, is part of my contribution to helping writers become better.

For the premiere episode, I want to talk about ADDICTION, primarily MY writing addiction!  If you would like a transcript of this show, please feel free to e-mail me! 

I would love for you to share with me your writing addictions!  You can head to clg-entertainment.com and under the CLG-E PODCASTS and leave me a comment there, or you can e-mail me personally at info@clg-entertainment.com.  If you tell me your addiction and a bit about the work you do, I’ll promo you on CLG-E’s blog.

Thanks so much for checking out the premiere podcast for The Write Life for You.  Come back July 1^st – there’s a lot of writing to talk about.
