Beth Williamson’s Blog

Geez, it’s 3 pm and the day has gotten away from me! New Year’s Eve in my house is fun finger food and movies.
I finished (yipee!!!) my final edit on The Education of Madeline. Gawd, did you hear that big gust come out of me? That was a sigh of relief. It’s like giving birth, I tell ya! :clap_tb: Look for this erotic historical to be pubbed by Loose Id in the spring. She is already under contract. :happy_tb:
Next, some business with synopses (which I suck at), and some rewrites for The Trouble with Packer.
My game face worked, even if I haven’t gotten to my Muse story yet. :grin2_ee:
Hey! Starting in January, I am a TRS Blue feature. Stop by and take a lookee.
Everyone have a wonderful, safe New Year!!

Remember my game face? :grin2_ee:
It’s working! I finished the first draft of my WIP, The Education of Madeline, yesterday! Wooooohoooo!!! :clap_tb:
So what’s next? I’ve been working on editing The Trouble with Packer to bulk it up to submit to Amber Quill for their HeatWave contest. Should be done today along with my Maddie edits! :thumbup_tb:
Next I think I’ll do my Loose Id proposals and leave my Muse story for last. :grin2_ee:
BTW, y’all, don’t forget The Reward is the cover of the week this week on Erin Aislinn’s site!!
And, today is the official kick-off f the Vixen Virgins Tour 2006! Woohoo!!!
Join me and Robin Danner as we celebrate the release of Vixen Virgins, our anthology from Liquid Silver Books publishing January 2, 2006! Yeehaw!
Our first stop is the Behind the Muses Yahoo Group on Friday, December 30 from 6 to 10 EST. Join us for some fun!

For all you men out there that may be reading this, you may want to find something else to read today.
I discovered a lump two months ago with my regular GP. She sent me for a diagnostic mammogram/ultrasound which came back negative, meaning no lumps or masses.
So I’m imagining things? :unsure_tb: I waited another month, checking to see what I found. Still tender, still lumpish. Sigh… so I went to a breast surgeon yesterday and she confirmed the lump diagnosis. It’s the size of a small pea. She took cells with a needle (ouchity ouch) and I am now scheduled for a lumpectomy next week. Surgery. Knife. :sad_tb:
Y’all I was okay until I talked to my Mom, then I bawled like a baby. No, there is no history of cancer, just fibrocystic disease (fibrous lumps). But the possibility that it may be something else is terrifying.
Okay, I’m sure it will be fine. I’ll keep y’all updated. In the mean time, forgive me if I forget shit or call you by the wrong name.
In the true tradition of carpe diem, I’m seizing the day to say thanks for reading my blog. To all my online peeps - love ya, dolls.

Stole this from Cece.

What’s Your Dream World Like?
brought to you by Quizilla
In your dream world there are faeries . . . and dragons, and elves, and ogres. Your mind is like a page out of J.R.R. Tolkiens books, full of action, adventure, and magic. You can be an evil sorcerer, or elfin hero. You can slay the griffons, or enslave the humans. Whatever you want, its your imagination, there you can do anything . . .
Interesting… I love the statement that my mind is “full of action, adventure, and magic!” That’s very cool!

Here’s my game face: :grin2_ee:
Why do I need one? Because I have the next seven days to write, write, write. I’m on holiday from my “real” job and home with my two boys.
Sounds busy? Nah, they’re 13 and 9, very self-sufficient. Besides, they are very busy playing with their Christmas loot. :happy_tb:
So, I’ll be finishing my WIP, The Education of Madeline, coming from Loose Id in 2006! Yay! (Hope you’re listening L2). :clap_tb:
Then I’ll be polishing up The Trouble with Packer to submit to the Amber Quill Heat Wave Contest. This is the story I wrote for my CowboyLovers Yahoo group. It fits the criteria, so what the heck? They all said “go for it!” so I am. :thumbup_tb:
Next I need to write my Clio muse anthology. The rest of the muses and I are writing a series of three anthologies with three stories each for Triskelion. It’s only about 20-25K so it won’t take me long.
Then, last but not least by any means, are the full proposals for my bowling series. What’s that you ask? Well, it’s a series of three novellas called The Perfect Score about three women in a bowling alley in Texas that find love, along with hot, sweet sex. I’m subbing them to Loose Id so keep your fingers crossed. :wink1_tb:
Okay, then, game face on! :grin2_ee:
