Friday, March 03, 2006Jill....Who?My apologies. I've been on a Blog Strike. I'm not sure why, really. Maybe it's just one of those female hormone things. Then again, maybe it's just life in general. Spring is in the air, and I've been getting the "nesting and organizing" itch. You know what I mean -- fling the unwanted clothes to Good Will, clean out the homeschooling closet, buy frames for all the unframed photographs lying around. I've also been reading Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages. I am probably the only person I know (besides Eric, whom I think is slightly allergic to books) who hadn't yet read the Love Languages book. Truly, it's fascinating. Potentially marriage-saving. Aren't you dying to know what my Love Language is? Actually, I've got two. (I know, nothing is ever simple when it comes to me.) I'm all about Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch. Now Eric thinks that all he has to do is pat me on the shoulder and say, "Nice dinner," and I'll be in Nirvana. Men. On the writing front, I've finally begun to move forward again with my new novel. There's nothing quite like being stuck in the middle of the same chapter for weeks on end....and then suddenly it all comes flowing out. You know how I know when one of my chapters is good? Jonathan rolls up the manuscript pages and whaps me over the head with them -- many times. That's his way of saying, "Dang, this is so good and it just STOPPED!" I wonder if that's the way the New York editors respond to good stories. "Hello, Ms. Boehme. I'm Gimme A. Deale from Lotsaschlock Books. Could you come over here a second?" WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! Hmm. Aren't you glad I'm back? A big thank you to those of you who checked up on me. No, I wasn't lost. Well, not physically lost, anyway. One more thing. I'm giving CheezWeezil a WONDERFUL PERSON award. But if he wants to know why, he'll have to ask. In the meantime, pop over to his blog. He's a good writer and he adores his wife -- two gold stars in my book! |

9of my readers are feeling chatty:
I am officially asking. :)
Up for some chapter swapping?
Oh... and welcome back.
Oh, I am so glad that you are back :). I truly missed your humorous writings - it was always something I looked forward to...
Regarding the book you are reading - well, I have to admit - haven't read it either. I would think mine would be physical touch.:) I am all for that ~ ah, those hugs give me a boost.
It's my first time to your blog. I have to say, I do not think it will be my last.
You are a funny lady...
...And just for the record, I haven't read The Five Love Languages yet either.
Yay, you've been found! ;)
Glad you're back, Jill. I know what you mean about needing a break. And once you're off-line, it gets harder to go back in. Surrendering to the break is much better. Glad you have that love language thing all worked out. How does your husband fare?
Above is from Kathie at housewifecafe...sorry for the wrong sig.
I just wanted to say hello to another fellow YA writer and good luck with the continuted writing.
DANG! This blog was so good and then it just stopped!
:-)
Glad you're back.
Cheezy-Weezy -- I owe you an email!! Soon!! I promise....
Kathie -- We're still working out the love language thing. Interestingly, we're both bilingual and we share one language, which is SUPPOSED to make things easier!
GeminiWisdom -- WELCOME!!
Ken -- LOL It's rare that you don't make me smile (and make me feel missed!).
