But I just drank them up. Probably partly because they were so far removed from what I write. They do say a change is as good as a holiday, right?<br /><br />Ally<br />xXxAlly Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352564320902831489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2126642202567930486.post-66939831258540948982010-10-28T11:37:04.969+01:002010-10-28T11:37:04.969+01:00Waving to Lacey!!!

I remember r...Hi Joanne! So nice to see you here.<br /><br />I remember reading once that whatever you do when studying for an exam, you should also do just before the exam as it stimulates the part of your brain that remembers what you've learnt. Eg. Do 100 push-ups before studying, do 100 push-ups pre-exam. I've used that philosophy ever since when it comes to my writing. My muse is used to chocolate and caffeine, so I simply must indluge so that he works at a premium!<br /><br />Moral of the story - get thee to a muffin shop!<br /><br />Ally<br />xXxAlly Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352564320902831489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2126642202567930486.post-69239464556809304602010-10-28T11:25:01.260+01:002010-10-28T11:25:01.260+01:00Suzanne, I hope my Flynn lives up to the picture! ...Suzanne, I hope my Flynn lives up to the picture!

You certainly have a gorgeous crew here.<br /><br />Since moving I've found a few writing haunts with yummy cakes, but none quite made it to dedication status whichy the raspberry and white chocolate muffins received. Until today.<br /><br />Today I met the chocolate brownie. Slight crunch to outside. Soft and warm in the middle. Followed by a cold and creamy iced coffee. <br /><br />Excuse me while I clean up the drool from my keyboard...<br /><br />Ally<br />xXxAlly Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352564320902831489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2126642202567930486.post-40278791935149349002010-10-28T11:17:26.471+01:002010-10-28T11:17:26.471+01:00Sri Pammi, awwww you're too sweet!

I'm thoroughly stoked that you enjoyed it so much!<br /><br />And a man who can change nappies is a true hero! In fact just about my most popular heroes spent a night holding the heroine's hair back as she suffered the effects of food poisoning.

21...Thank you for turning minxy for the day Allie!<br /><br />21 books - WOW! Way to go, that's some achievement. <br /><br />You a real inspiration for aspiring writers, I love your light touch with Modern Heat - Winnie & Dylan's story in 'Getting Red Hot with the Rogue' was one of my absolute fave romance reads. <br /><br />Totally with you on the definition of real romance - a man who will happily change a nappy is more valuable to me than one who can buy a bunch of flowers. :o)<br /><br />I think I might try out writing somewhere other than home once the kids go back after half term, we have a new coffee shop opened locally that I am eying up. Hope their muffins are up to scratch, lol!<br /><br />Lots of luck with your upcoming releases,<br /><br />JoKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241471777598194240noreply@blogger.com
