I’m kind of burnt out on Valentine’s Day at this point, so I’d rather talk about… Christmas. LOL

I’m probably getting ahead of myself, but as I wind down on writing my August book, handing in the revisions for that in a few days, I’m making the transition from cowboys to Christmas. Yes, I had to write my cowboy Forbidden Fantasy over actual Christmas (PICK ME UP, August 07) and now I am going to be writing my December Christmas Blaze, deadline in May, as the tulips appear for spring – (though that’s a ways off considering we’re getting slammed with a winter storm today.

Here's a picture of what Mike's doing this Valentine's morning (and we're expecting another foot or so today!):

That's My Honey!

Anyway, at least I have the right weather for thinking about the new book! :) The Christmas book is one I’ve been very much looking forward to as it’s about a hero and a heroine who both have sleep disorders, something I’ve struggled with over the years as well.

The hero is a burnt out EMT with chronic insomnia, and she’s a sleep-talker. A loud sleep talker – as she’s having erotic dreams, he hears every detail through a screen window, as if that’s helping the poor guy get any rest. They find some very interesting ways to spend their long nights, and solve both of their sleep problems, though.

Anyway, there will be more time to talk about that book in December, but it’s on my mind now, and this sleep pose quiz was a little bit of something I tripped across while writing – well, actually Mike found it, and it’s kind of fun. Give it a whirl and come back and tell us what your sleep position says about you. I did it twice and got the same result, which was interesting, and it was fairly right-on.

Mine came out The Colon (isn’t that nice? Couldn’t they come up with SOMETHING other than that??? Sheesh. I like how they change it to “colonist” in the descriptions, though that just makes it sound like I take over the bed…). But while the questions are really weird, I actually do sleep this way at least 50% of the time, and I think the analysis was pretty true: "The Colon is the chosen pose of individuals who, on their own, seem awkward or remote. But when a Colonist finds its mate, together they acquire a grace and ease that surprises friends and family." I don't know that I'm always awkward or remote in real life, though I can be, and I do tend to really like online communication better than the telephone. I really don't like the telephone, except with people I know well, and even then, it's not always the best form of communication for me. But, they got some of the other stuff very right on.

Mike’s was the Koala, and when I’m not being a Colon, I’m his tree – yeah, baby. That's how to stay warm in winter. ;)

How about you?
