I woke up this morning with two sets of characters playing tug-of-war in my mind. I went for a run and decided to ignore both groups. Today, I’m going to revise (yet again) The Chase is Over, my first ms. I’ve decided to get it ready to pitch at the RWA National Conference in July. […]
Well, it’s been almost a month since my last post, and I’ve been busy doing everything but writing. I raced another Ironman Race in Louisville, KY just over two weeks ago and I finished remodeling our kitchen just the other day. My mind as been storing up the scenes I need to continue with in […]
It seems I’m on a monthly cycle – with my posting, I mean. I’ve been so wrapped up in my daily writing goals that I’ve lost track of time. Not a bad thing when cranking out the pages of creativity. I did take time out this past weekend to attend the NJ writers conference, where I […]
Ironman Florida – November 3, 2007: A recap by Christine (Crash) Mazurk The alarm buzzed at 4:30 am, and we both groaned into the darkness. The air conditioner had so chilled the room, I didn’t want to come out from under the covers, but the start of Ironman Florida was fast approaching – and it […]

Thanksgiving weekend in St. Louis was chilly and wet. We needed the rain, so it was good, but hubby and I were a bit under the weather as we were both fighting colds, a normal occurence several weeks after a competition. As it turns out, both were a blessing. Being sick forced us to slow […]
Today I have the tedious task of packing for Nationals, the almost week long RWA Conference. I’ll be pitching my mss again, so searching the closet for that perfect outfit requires some thought. Something professional is a must, but since the workshops run from early morning into late evening, the outfits must be comfortable as well. I […]
Happy Holidays from my family to yours. May all of your wishes come true. We hope that 2007 has been good to you and that 2008 brings health and good cheer, and plenty of laughter for all to hear. May the sun shine upon you, the rain cleanse your soul. May the birds sing you love songs and the […]
There is a buzz in my ears and electricity in my blood; I’ve just returned from the RWA National Conference in San Francisco. For those of you who have attended one, you know what I’m talking about. If you’ve never been to one or you simply wonder what it’s like, here is a fun laundry […]
