7 random facts ... again

Captain's Log, Stardate 11.24.2008



Debby Giusti tagged me on this meme, so here goes again!

1. I can only knit one thing at a time, right? So why do I have TEN knitting projects on the needles at once?

2. I like reading knitting and yarn catalogs while I’m on the can.

3. My friend Ronda Wells sent me a pink feather boa and a pink tiara, which I wear while writing. It fires my creativity. Really.

4. I like wearing hats solely for the purpose of hiding a Bad Hair Day. Which is why I’m currently working on a Chevron stripe beret, La Parisenne, using KnitPicks.com Essential yarn in Flint Tweed and Tuscany Multi.

5. I am watching the end of the third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I have to say, I’m getting bored. (So this proves I’m not a slave to the hype around this series.) The beginning of season three was rather dull, and while it has picked up now, it’s still not exciting enough to make me need to see more. I will probably continue to watch it until it loses me completely.

6. The weather’s getting colder, and I warm my office not with a space heater or by turning up the thermostat, but with candles.

7. At a loss for something else weird about me, I asked my friend Cheryl Wyatt, who tells me I have weird friends, herself being one of them.

I think it's cute that you like to wear hats!

I love the old-fashioned, antique hats. It takes a very brave day for me to wear one in public, but I really love them!

As for Buffy- Season four goes down-hill even more, but there are a few good episodes. Even if you skip the rest of the season, watch "Hush." That one rocked.
Season five you can skip completely, except you may want to watch the last episode, so you have some context for season six, which starts to pick up again. Season six is only ok, but there are some decent episodes, particularly "Once More With Feeling," and the two or so before and after it.
Season seven picks up again- GREAT ending for the series. Gives you some good closure.

And no, I'm not obsessed... why do you ask? :)

LOL thanks for the scoop on the Buffy seasons, that helps. How sad it went downhill for so many seasons, though.

Brainstorm - character occupation

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...

I sold to Steeple Hill!

Captain's Log, Supplemental Remember that romantic suspense proposal I blogged about earlier? Well, it just sold to Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired Suspense line! I am so jazzed! I am beyond jazzed! The story’s working title is Sinister Spa The story's title is Deadly Intent and here’s a blurb (but it’s probably not what will appear on the back of the book): Massage therapist Naomi Grant could use a massage herself. With her father at home recovering from a stroke, Naomi is put in charge of the family’s elite day spa in Sonoma county. The new responsibilities sit awkwardly on her shoulders, and things only get worse when handsome Dr. Devon Knightley breezes into the spa, demanding to see one of the female clients. And the woman is found dead in Naomi’s massage room. Suddenly, Naomi is a suspect and her family’s spa is shut down. How could God let this awful thing happen? Devon only needed to see his ex-wife about a family necklace she still hadn’t returned, but when she dies and...

New book idea a la Captain Caffeine

Captain's Log, Stardate 04.14.2009 So my husband, Captain Caffeine, had lunch with a few friends a few days ago. And they asked about my writing, and if I’d been on Oprah yet. (Yeah, right) They then discussed NYT bestselling books, and why can’t Camy write a NYT bestseller. (Sure, let me just open a vein over a blank page and it’ll come right out.) So Captain Caffeine came home with ideas for my new NYT bestselling novel. First it starts with vampires, because Twilight is so hot. But not just any vampires. This one’s an Amish vampire. And he’s not just an Amish vampire, he’s a cop in disguise, infiltrating the Amish community to protect a witness. (Hmm, that storyline sounds familiar ...) But wait! There’s more! To add more conflict and stick with my brand of Asian fiction, we introduce the Tibetan monk! Who joins the Amish community to get away from the pressures of monkhood. But in reality, he’s protecting the Chinese princess on the run, trying to escape from her father’s Hong...
