One of my pet peeves is when the word ‘unique’ is qualified. The word means being the only one, one of a kind. Either something is unique or it is not. There is no such thing as almost, somewhat, or very unique. So all you young radio/TV announcers and writers, please stop modifying the word.

Observations on the writing life
I Am an Author
It’s an overcast, cold, damp day in Central New York. I’m wearing my sweats and have a cup of steaming tea at my elbow. There are revisions on my laptop. Sounds like I’m a writer, doesn’t it? 🙂
The Next Step
Received my first round of copy edits and revisions on Monday night. Needless to say, I’ve abandoned all other projects to focus on getting these done.
Weekend Recap
I had a fabulous weekend. Saturday was my monthly Central New York Romance Writer‘s meeting, where I learned I won the election for president next year. The chapter also held its quarterly celebration of great news, so I received roses for having sold a book.
After the meeting, my besties (a/k/a The Purples) and I went out for a light dinner and a few laughs.
TV Stevie and I started watching the series, The Newsroom, which we both enjoyed.
Sunday was lovely, too. An extra hour of sleep started the day right. TV Stevie and I went out to breakfast, then he gave me a private tour of the new facility where he works. He’s been there since the end of February, so this was kind of overdue. I spent the rest of the afternoon editing, then cooked a nice meal (Chicken Parmesan and green salad, with red wine).
I wish I could enjoy every day as much as I enjoyed these two.
Started working on my Facebook author page today. Photo shoot for my cover/banner.
Believe it or not . . . 
this was a lot more difficult than it appears.
