The Non-writing Life
October 21, 2007 | Uncategorized
Let’s face it, I’m easily distracted. All too frequently, I get through only one page before something else (anything else) demands attention. Yes, the house and yard have been neglected for sometime and truly need lots of work. Leaky roofs, non-functioning furnaces, and the like require action. And then there’s the fact that I like things clean. Whether I move or stay (one of those big decisions I’m postponing) sparkling and tidy works for me.
Clutter makes this goal more challenging, hence the great sorting out project. Toss, donate, or sell are nice sensible designations. But honestly? At least half of the time I have no idea what it is. Here’s where ebay helps. They sell almost everything. Not sure what you have? No problem. They’ve got a search function that works almost as well as Google’s. Since I’m a newbie seller, I started with DVDs, figuring I’d work up to other stuff eventually.
Last week, I branched out, adding a pair of boots, a purse, and a couple of pairs of panties to the movie list. Everything is selling well, except the underwear. Apparently, intimate apparel doesn’t fly on ebay. They’re brand new–still in the package. I bought the thongs on clearance and tried one of the four pairs, finding them surprisingly comfortable. Still, I’m not thrilled with them and I like to be happy with my undies. Sadly, I’m shallow and vain, despite being both fat and old.
Inbetween polishing, cleaning, sorting, and selling I did get to the end of the most recent romantic suspense story making lots of nitpicky changes but finding nothing alarming now to input all those small corrections, and then on to a new pirate story. Even at my turtle pace, I may manage a sequel to the first pirate story this year.
When both Hunter and Tru bond with Amber their mating triangle threatens everything they hold dear.
Determined to help rescue the princess, Cassandra agrees to act as the dragons’ sex slave, but can she guard her heart from the dominant males?
Camille, a plump, sweet-natured breeder, is caught in New Eden’s endless war with Baldor. Her mates, Jaxon and Aegis, need cunning and courage to rescue her. They need a miracle to capture her heart.
Werewolf-whisper Daniel is the only one who can heal Scarlet’s broken werewolf connection. If he succeeds then the pack’s needs will eclipse his claim on her heart. But if he fails, they'll both die.
A lonely woman finds passion with a dominant much younger lover, when she tries to leave she learns her new master plays for keeps.
One dangerous warrior woman plus two rogue demon males equals a love to threaten an empire.
Getting paid to watch Eduardo is Desiree’s dream assignment, but when he reaches out to her, crossing the line, everything changes.
Deep in her secret heart, she lusts for a sexy pirate who’d be her master and commander in the bedroom. But, this man may be too dangerous
She finds paradise in the arms of twin brothers, but their law demands she chose one warrior to mate and one to die.
One woman, two men, three wounded hearts--though already mated their love is still forbidden.

Congrats on finishing the project!
With our move to a smaller house, we’re doing a lot of the decluttering you are as well, using the same three categories, toss, donate, sell. It never occurred to me to consider e-bay. What a great idea!
Though my underwear isn’t nearly as interesting as yours. LOL!

Lori, the um interesting underwear wasn’t really me LOL that’s why it’s on ebay. Though I was amazed by the comfort–just couldn’t get past the look.
