Wel\u00adcome! Anoth\u00ader week in par\u00adadise over here. We\u2019ve had some won\u00adder\u00adful weath\u00ader! So after a very stress\u00adful Tues\u00adday, the US<\/span> can now put the elec\u00adtion behind us. I was nev\u00ader so hap\u00adpy to see those yard signs come down. On a relat\u00aded note, yard signs in Wyoming are pret\u00adty lethal.\u00c2  This image is the US<\/span> dis\u00adtort\u00aded by pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion and by votes for Oba\u00adma (blue) and Rom\u00adney (red). Pret\u00adty cool.<\/p>\n

Work in Progress News ~<\/strong><\/span>I\u2019ve been more pro\u00adduc\u00adtive this week than I have in a long time. I used to have a 2K<\/span> word goal per day, but now I\u2019m lucky if I get 1K<\/span>. I\u2019m present\u00adly in the mid\u00addle of the inti\u00admate scene that just won\u2019t end. Also, I was going to make this a Christ\u00admas sto\u00adry, but decid\u00aded to just take that thread out since I already missed that dead\u00adline. Still chug\u00adging away!<\/p>\n

Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/strong><\/span> I\u2019ve shared a Jack\u00adson Foote cov\u00ader with you before. This is a new one and I just love it: Mer\u00adcy (orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly by Kanye West)

\nTweet of the Week ~<\/strong> <\/span>So many good tweets! The most retweet\u00aded tweet of ALL<\/span> TIME<\/span> was one sent on Tues\u00adday by Barack Oba\u00adma right after the elec\u00adtion<\/a>. But here\u2019s a dif\u00adfer\u00adent kind of smile:<\/p>\n

If writ\u00aders took the \u201cwrite what you know\u201d rule seri\u00adous\u00adly, most new nov\u00adels would be called Con\u00adstant\u00adly Dis\u00adtract\u00aded By The Internet.<\/p>\n

Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/strong><\/span>\u00c2 Ama\u00adzon has announced a Month\u00adly Prime Mem\u00adber\u00adship<\/a>. The $7.99 month\u00adly fee will direct\u00adly com\u00adpete with Hulu and Net\u00adflix for stream\u00ading video (did you know Ama\u00adzon has stream\u00ading video?) and for book lovers, you can bor\u00adrow eli\u00adgi\u00adble books! You end up pay\u00ading almost $20 more than if you pay the $79 annu\u00adal price, though.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m read\u00ading ~<\/strong> <\/span>Shy\u00ading Away, a con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary west\u00adern m\/m. Blurb:\u00c2 Quinn Don\u00adahue will do any\u00adone once, so when Aaron Miller spots Quinn mak\u00ading his moves in a Van\u00adcou\u00adver gay bar, Aaron thinks he\u2019s found just the guy to relieve him of his unwant\u00aded vir\u00adgin\u00adi\u00adty. Quinn, how\u00adev\u00ader, has appar\u00adent\u00adly decid\u00aded to make an excep\u00adtion to his usu\u00adal open-bed pol\u00adi\u00adcy. He may be an unre\u00adpen\u00adtant con\u00adnois\u00adseur of one-night stands, but he\u2019s not going to dis\u00adap\u00adpoint a sweet kid like Aaron by giv\u00ading him a hot night and then leav\u00ading while the sheets are still warm.<\/p>\n

Search Term of the week aka How Peo\u00adple Found My Web\u00adsites ~<\/strong> <\/span>I love typos. Some\u00adtimes they make great new words. Here\u2019s what found me last week: \u201cthe sis\u00adter found my eroth\u00adic books\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Book Snip\u00adpet ~<\/strong> <\/span>From Cov\u00ader Sto\u00adry, my short con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary cougar sto\u00adry about a cov\u00ader mod\u00adel and the old\u00ader woman play\u00ading the part of his lover:<\/p>\n

Click.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I\u2019m just going to unbut\u00adton your shirt. We\u2019ll leave it on as long as you\u2019d like.\u201d Anoth\u00ader but\u00adton slipped free.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Stop me if you start to feel uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Click.<\/em><\/p>\n

He released anoth\u00ader but\u00adton. Then two. \u201cTouch me Cate. Let me feel your hands all over me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those clicks were from the cam\u00adera, if you could\u00adn\u2019t tell. Some\u00adtimes it\u2019s hard to get the full effect in a short excerpt. Okay folks, I\u2019m back to writ\u00ading. See you next week!<\/p>\n\n
