Who we are and why we are.

About two years ago, I was in the middle of writer hell. A horrible place to be, believe me. Nothing was working. My heroine was wimpy with dry, fly away hair and chronic halitosis. I couldn't buy the hero's love. No one would. She sucked. I sucked. I was lonely and slowly going insane. Because of writing. My husband didn't get it. My kids could barely talk. My mom just nodded politely like and asked if I wanted some Panda Paws ice cream. The lady knows me.

Then, one day, whilst talking with my cuz on the phone, I realized something amazing. I. Was. Not. Alone. She was in the same writer's hell! Since that time we have suffered together, laughed together, and basically bonded over the extremely maddening yet highly enjoyable (we couldn't Live without writing!) art of putting our stories on paper.

Over the years, we have discovered many things about each other and our writing. Kellie doesn't have a problem killing off her heroines (which might I note, only happened one time) (yeah, but it made me cry! damn you!) and I have a thing about demons. Sexy demons. Oh, and frogs with evil red eyes. Thus, Dangerous Scribes were born. We enjoy torturing and or killing off our characters. It amuses us. It gets us through our days without killing actual humans. What can we say? Whatever keeps us off the Most Wanted list, right?

At this point we are both at different stages of writing.

Kellie went to RWA National Conference in DC this summer and had fabulous time meeting other writers and partying with my new friends and favorite authors. Yes, she did meet Nora Roberts....3 times! Her ms, Homecoming, was requested by an agent along with a synopsis. That's where she's stuck. In synopsis Hell!

As for me, Lisa, I am in the process of editing two manuscripts. Demons Bite is a Young Adult paranormal that is finished but needs editing. And Dancing with Willie Shakespeare, a Chick Lit Space Opera (yeah, I know) that needs editing and oh, yeah, finishing. We both have NANO manuscripts from 2008 that need editing and polishing!

Our ultimate goal is to be published authors. Maybe National Bestselling Authors. Sure, it could happen. In the meantime, come along on our journey. Do not be afraid. Chocolate will be eaten, objects may hit the wall (our manuscripts perhaps?) and cuss words may be used. We mean no harm. If you have similar experiences, please share with us. If you just want to blow off steam, leave a comment. All are welcome. Once a week we'll share our writing joys and miseries. We may even just review a book we admire or a movie we have become obsessed over. You never know, we are just that unpredictable. Such as life.
