The Mask She Wears by Jennifer Leeland

themaskshewears_150x225.jpg

In the BDSM lifestyle, Catherine Lanyard is an extreme submissive with serious baggage. For years, she’s avoided her pain and hidden dark secrets. Now, an experienced Dom has broken through her barriers and forced her to face her fear. Sex was always a give and take for Justin Travers. He’d always kept his “lifestyle” practices separate from real life. But when Catherine blurs that boundary, he must decide what he really wants.

So Depressed

I'm having a down day today. I wanted to have my short polished and ready to sub by the end of the month (meaning next Friday), but I can't stop re writing the first half long enough to get the edits done to the second half. Why does this have to be so hard and why do I have to be such a perfectionist? It's making me all gittery and I feel like I have butterflies in by stomach. Am I ever going to get to the point where I like a story enough to sub it? *sigh* These thoughts run through my head all day long. Please tell me that I'm not the only one going through this! I need some encouragement. *sniffle*

*Please excuse any spelling errors. The spellcheck seems to be out of order. ;)

He’s about to show her ...


On the management fast-track, Breeze Cohen has no time for family. No interest in love. No inclination toward romance, lust, dating—or anything that doesn’t include retail business strategy and cornerstone client Nitrous’ most important product launch ever. No way is she going to let a live-for-the-moment, life-is-only-about-fun guy like Logan Chandler tarnish her professional reputation and derail her career.

... his plan for her isn’t just for kicks.

Recovered from a near-fatal bus accident, Logan has successfully moved from professional athlete to key player for Nitrous Kicks athletic shoes. Only one woman is capable of managing his project the right way, but the proper kind of management will take time together. And that’s exactly what Logan Chandler is counting on to help him get close to her heart and stay close—if he can ever catch up with her.

I Hate Rewrites!!!

So now that I have completed the first draft of my 50k WIP I am putting it aside for about a month so that I can look at it with fresh eyes when I start the rewrites. In order to keep myself occupied in the mean time, I am polishing my short so I can stop procrastinating and sub the thing already.

On Monday I began the rewrites to the short and it's like pulling teeth! I don't think I've successfully edited three pages yet. This is going to take forever! I really do try to have patience but I just don't see how that's going to be possible! Patience what's that? *sigh*

Does this ever happen to anyone else or am I just a lone duck swimming in circles in an empty pond?

Anyway I just needed to get that off my chest before I blew up from all of the nervous energy that can't seem to stop bouncing around in my over active brain. Thanks for listening. *waves*

Woohoo!!

Today is a good day! The sky has opened, the heavens are smiling down and the angels are singing. Why, you ask? Well, after plugging away for years and years trying to complete a manuscript I have finally done it. Yes ladies and gents the first draft of my MS has been completed. *happy sigh*

I was filled with such a wonderful feeling of well being that I had to go out and celebrate. So I went and picked out new funiture for the living room that we've been wanting to redo since who knows when. Then we went to pick out new appliances for the new kitchen that we will one day have. Later on, me and 'baby daddy' had a coffee date. I love coffee. *sigh*

And now after having shared my happiness I would like to know how many of you have shared in this wonderful experience of having finished a WIP? Come on now, don't be shy. I would love you hear about your own personal experiences.

Thanks for stopping by. XOXOXOX
