Anna Black's Salon: December 2006
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Friday, December 29, 2006. Another New Year will soon be upon us. I'm not going to say how fast this year has gone by because I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. With each year I get a year older and, I fear, no wiser. But I keep plodding along, hoping that something of what I've experienced has seeped into my mind and my soul. I have, as always, the same old resolutions. Lose weight, exercise more, save money, etc, etc, etc. Posted by Anna Black at 5:39 PM.

http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Monday, March 26, 2007. Comes out on DVD Tuesday, March 27th. I saw it the other night. This week, next week, whenever you can. Posted by Anna Black at 7:50 PM. Saturday, March 24, 2007. The Tudors and William S. Burroughs. I'm going to be busy writing all weekend as I've gotten a bit behind on my WIP. So, for my blog post for the weekend, just a reminder that if you have Showtime, the mini-series. Starts on Sunday, April 1st. Lovely risque sex scenes, but risque nonetheless.

Anna Black's Salon: February 2007
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Monday, February 26, 2007. Words on a Page. I'm breaking with my usual posting on the weekends to say that I watched the Oscars last night, as I always do, and then find myself regretting having stayed up so late. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I loved the way they announced the nominees for best original and adapted screenplays. Kudos to whoever's idea that was. Posted by Anna Black at 6:30 AM. Saturday, February 24, 2007. Okay, I'll admit it. By Frank Miller. It's a r...

Anna Black's Salon: Writing a Mystery
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007/11/writing-mystery.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Sunday, November 04, 2007. I'm writing a mystery for NaNoWriMo. Which means I probably won't win this time around. Getting my 50,000 words done by 11/30, that is. That's okay. I've "won" twice before and both of those manuscripts are still sitting on my computer. This time around I want a workable first draft. And, since I've never written a mystery before, the learning curve is steep. I've read mysteries, of course, but writing one is a whole 'nother matter. Trying something ...

Anna Black's Salon: Throwing in the Towel
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007/11/throwing-in-towell.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Saturday, November 24, 2007. Throwing in the Towel. Well, I'm throwing in the towel regarding NaNoWriMo. I started out with high hopes on November 1st that I'd finished, but that's also the day I started my new temp assignment. Which requires me to not only go in earlier but to drive farther. That's why I liked writing in the mornings. And, I should not have tried to do NaNo knowing I had a 30,000 word novella to revise in November for a submission deadline of 11/15. Here's a ...

Anna Black's Salon: The First Day of the Last Month of the Year
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007/12/first-day-of-last-month-of-year.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Saturday, December 01, 2007. The First Day of the Last Month of the Year. It's the first day of the last month of 2007. As the year winds down to a close, I'm taking stock of what I accomplished this year, writing-wise, and what I hope to accomplish next year. November was a mixed bag for me. On the one hand I did submit my longest piece yet, a 25,000 word novella and last night I submitted a 4,000 word short story. I have three projects I'll be working on, two of which have s...

Anna Black's Salon: One More Blast!
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007/12/one-more-blast.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Wednesday, December 12, 2007. Another five inches of snow yesterday on top of the 17 inches I know we must have already gotten since December 1st. But we finally get a break. No snow, rain, sleet or freezing rain is forecast until next Thurday. Or so the weather-shamans say. I hope they're right. We need a break! I refuse to show pictures of snow as I'm already sick of it, so another tropical paradise adorns this post. Click on it for a larger view of it. In the middle of the ...

Anna Black's Salon: June 2007
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Sunday, June 17, 2007. Have very bad summer cold. Still packing for move in two weeks. Writing on hold until I get moved and over this cold. Also hot and sticky here. No A/C at current residence. New place has central A/C. Posted by Anna Black at 8:11 AM. Sunday, June 10, 2007. Another busy weekend. Lots of writing, lots of throwing out and packing. I would, however, like to recommend two books. The first book is Snoopy's Guide to the Writing Life. There's a section on that...

Anna Black's Salon: April 2007
http://anna-black-salon.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Where Desire Meets Destiny. Sunday, April 29, 2007. Back to Reality II. The first week of work went okay. Since I've decided to keep my private life and my writing life separate I won't say on this blog where it is I work but let's just say it's a place where there's a procedure for everything. And it's also heavily regulated by the government so I'm having to learn a lot about such things. So, all in all, as for my new job, it's a job. I'm grateful for it, but the job of my dreams? Sunday, April 22, 2007.
