I so don’t understand computer programs. Working my way through a maze of info I don’t understand, I finally found nine comments that Spam Karma 2 harvested (don’t you love that term). Now I don’t know how Spam Karma is doing this since on another page it’s marked as deactivated. Hmm. And I definitely don’t know what to do to fix the problem. It doesn’t give me a nice easily understood choice like “restore harvested comments.” Guess that would make it too easy. It also doesn’t give me the option of reading the comments. Or maybe it does and I’m just too confused to find the instructions. I also haven’t found a link to a living person. Well, I’ll keep working on this problem, but be aware that I know you guys are out there posting and I appreciate it. Oh, I tried to comment last night and it harvested me right along with you.
Still fighting the good fight,

Michele let me know that she tried to post, but a big butt-ugly (my words, not hers) antispam program wouldn’t let her. I haven’t a clue how to solve this problem. My webmistress won’t be back until May 15, so I can’t ask her. I’ll try to contact a human who knows what to do. I’m sure that all the problems I’m having are easily solved, but I’m just not into technology. Again I’ll put out the call, if anyone has WordPress give a shout.
If anyone is just hanging tomorrow night (Monday), I’ll be chatting with other Leisure/Love Spell writers at writerspace.com (9:00pm ET). Drop in and say hi.
Take care,

What do you write when you’re tired but determined to keep up with your blog? Probably nonsense.
I’m really struggling with WICKED FANTASIES. The beginning isn’t working for me, and I don’t have a clear picture of where I’ll be going with the plot. Thank heavens I have critique partners to brainstorm with. I’m thinking of leaving Ganymede out of this book. I don’t want to bog readers down with too many characters. Well, we’ll see.
It’s rolling into summer down here near Galveston. I’d love to have a second home somewhere in the mountains. I’d move there during June, July, August, and probably September. I’d also want to spend one month during the winter there to get my snow fix. Guess it isn’t going to happen unless I write a blockbuster. Any ideas for a blockbuster out there?
I’ve been watching DOCTOR WHO every Friday on the SciFi channel. What a great show. My only problem is trying to understand what everyone’s saying with their English accents. I love time travels, and I keep thinking about writing another one.
That’s about it. You could call this my token entry. I really have to come with something more coherent than my ramblings. Maybe I’ll visit other blogs to get some ideas.
Take care,
Nina

I had to race Sparkle to the computer. She wanted to share a new way to enhance everyone’s sensuality. You didn’t want to hear about that, did you? Didn’t think so.
Hmm, now that I’m here I don’t know what to talk about. I’m setting my next Dorchester book, ONE BITE STAND, in Houston instead of the Woo Woo Inn. I think I need a change of scenery. Besides, Sparkle will love the big city. So many more potential victims.
I’m looking forward to next year. Both the Romantic Times and Romance Writers of America conferences will be in Texas. I’ve never gone to both in one year, but I can’t pass either one up when they’ll be so close. So anyone who’ll be going next year give me a shout.
My cat, Abby, is calming down as she matures (thank you, Lord). Next year I’m planning to tear up the carpet and put in wood laminate. She’ll be so sad. She does love to claw the carpet. Abby has the run of most of the condo, but I still won’t let her in my office. Those chewed phone lines remain fresh in my mind. If I ever get the room organized and find a way to protect the cords, I’ll let her in.
I don’t go to many movies, but I’m really looking forward to THE DA VINCI CODE. I can read about blood and gore, but I’m not much into watching it in living color. From what I remember of the book, I’ll be covering my eyes quite a bit.
Anyone been reading any good books they’d like to talk about? I’m open to a discussion. I’m looking forward to Janet Evanovich’s next Stephanie Plum book. It should be out in June. Isn’t that when she usually releases them? I notice that the next Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunter book, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, is coming out in hardback. Bummer. I won’t have the patience to wait until it comes out in paperback, but I don’t have much room to store hardbacks. It seems that so many of my favorites are being released in hardback now and they’re keepers. I need to have a whole wall of bookshelves built.
Okay, I’ve rambled on long enough tonight. Sparkle has given up and gone out for the night. Whew! Maybe I’ll come up with something really interesting to talk about in the next few nights
Take care,
Nina
