Okay…so the post title has NOTHING to do with today’s post, but I was recently revisiting the movie The Wedding Singer and for some reason that line keeps sticking in my head.
The other day we (me, my husband, and my boys) went to the store.
Always a nightmare situation, but we were out and about
and needed to make a quick stop. I walked in and saw a small tub of chocolate covered pretzels (which I just finished polishing off, by the way).
My husband looks at them and says, “You want those?”
I debate for a minute and then respond. “No. That’s okay. But I love chocolate covered pretzels. Just one thing I’ve yet to reveal about myself after nine years of marriage.”
So, I pass on the pretzels, we continue with the shopping. My children are acting like they’re on speed, running around the aisles, yelling, and doing some sort of battle thing, that frankly, has me wondering if they are from some alien planet. By the time we finished our trip inside the store, I thought I was going to tear my hair out. We make our way to the checkout line, but I keep on going. My husband asks me where I’m going.
I keep on walking. “I’m going back for the pretzels.”
And, yum, let me tell you, they were good.
By the way, I’m getting the itch to redesign my website, but I can’t decide what kind of layout I want. I’m also trying to come up with a good tagline for what I write. “The author that thinks she knows what she’s doing”, just won’t cut it. I think I want something that incorporates both contemporary romance as well as suspense, because I’m leaning towards maybe trying to build a career in single title romantic suspense and category contemporary romance (like Harlequin Superromance). Any ideas on either the website layout or the tagline?




That’s always a hard decision…I think for me it might be finding a tagline that fits across genres (?) and a format that you can change color or image without too much hassle or too much impact. Good luck!

Your kids in the store sound like my kids in a store. Solidarity, sister! Glad you went back for the pretzels.
As far as the website and tagline, I’ll give that some thought.

Glad you go those pretzels..making me hungry…I’m going to the store tonight! Hmmm, I know how hard that whole tagline/website problem is – having just gone through it myself. I’ll think on it. Good luck!

Thanks Lynn! Thanks Deb!
So far, the best I’ve come up with is using this cool Arizona red rocks picture I’ve found and write something like:
“Where the roads to romance and drama converge”
Or something….still thinking….
