Give me t hose tunes from the 60s and early-mid 70s and I'm in my glory. Singing always puts me in a good mood. On occasion, I get out the records and cassettes and flex the vocal cords. While in school I always participated in choral groups. Loved the auditions, too. Music makes the whole body smile :)<BR/><BR/>ShawnaShawnaMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396205878623438185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-74862385898100436382007-11-27T10:56:00.000-05:002007-11-27T10:56:00.000-05:00Hey Kelly!Many thanks for your compliments of my t...Hey Kelly!<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for your compliments of my titles and covers :) Most times, my titles are in place before the writing process begins. I choose something relative to theme, character or sometimes a line from the story. My beloved mom really enjoyed when authors pulled a line or a couple words from the story as the title. She'd mention finding the reference on page such and such :) Another one of my fond memories of the dear woman who positively influenced my life more than any other. If not for her, I likely wouldn't be writing stories today.<BR/><BR/>I'm definitely planning on featuring more rugged, cowboy-type heroes in the future. They've always been one of my favorites, too :) I jested with hubby that someday I want to pose beside my cover model for ROUGHRIDER wearing the cowgirl hat I found in Dallas while attending RWA National.<BR/><BR/>Your de-stressing idea sounds perfect :) Very relaxing and positive-mood-inducing. Write away and enjoy a terrific week, girlfriend! <BR/><BR/>ShawnaShawnaMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396205878623438185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-57056157267820610812007-11-27T02:20:00.000-05:002007-11-27T02:20:00.000-05:00Hi Shawna, a belated welcome to Fierce Romance!

I used to love Clint Eastwood too.<BR/><BR/>My favorite ways to de-stress are by sitting in my front yard in the sun with a book and a Diet Coke watching my boys skateboard, and to sing really loudly in the car.Carol Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957449133993571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-41600970525405200582007-11-26T21:33:00.000-05:002007-11-26T21:33:00.000-05:00Hi Shawna!I've said it before and I'll say it agai...Hi Shawna!<BR/><BR/>I've said it before and I'll say it again, you come up with the Best titles and have covers worthy to drool over!<BR/><BR/>We sure share a love for hunky cowboys. :)<BR/><BR/>To release some stress, I like to have a couple of glasses of wine, put some music on, read or jump into a story I'm writing. <BR/><BR/>Happy Holidays Girlfriend!<BR/><BR/>Kelly CournoyerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-90413485189560334392007-11-26T17:58:00.000-05:002007-11-26T17:58:00.000-05:00Hi, Nicole!I do the same thing with the syndicated...Hi, Nicole!<BR/><BR/>I do the same thing with the syndicated episodes of Daniel Boone :) As a reward for a good stint of writing, editing or plotting, I occasionally lounge and watch an enjoyable program for an hour.

I was really excited how well he meshed with the character as I'd written him.<BR/><BR/>What a great way to relax, too. I can well understand how package wrapping sloughs off stress. The motions of folding, contouring and smoothing result in a gorgeous finished gift that makes one proud. Thanks for sharing :)<BR/><BR/>May your holiday season be filled with magical moments and bring fond memories :)<BR/><BR/>ShawnaShawnaMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396205878623438185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-10925402849959082782007-11-24T19:35:00.000-05:002007-11-24T19:35:00.000-05:00Hi Shawna, at the risk of repeating what everyone ...Hi Shawna, at the risk of repeating what everyone else has said about Roughriders cover model *shewolf whistle* If I was single I wouldn't mind sharing that Cowpoke's bedroll. *grins* Smokin hot!!!!<BR/><BR/>How do I de-stress, I find wrapping presents very relaxing. I've wrapped so many presents over the years I can do it on auto pilot. Also knowing I am getting something out of the way that needs doing, adds to my relaxation. <BR/><BR/>Reading a book for enjoyment and relaxation is year round thing for me. I'd love a fire right now but the wood needs another year to season.

Music has always brought joy to my life, and I enjoy singing. Haven't played the guitar in many years.

They were both big fans of the Westerns, and mom loved reading those cowboy heroes in category romances :) I agree some of those movies should have had a little more steam heat and sexual tension. Glad you enjoyed my Roughrider cover. It's my favorite and likely to remain so :) May you and yours have all the bounty and blessings of the holiday season!<BR/><BR/>ShawnaShawnaMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396205878623438185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-7249591606628321562007-11-24T10:35:00.000-05:002007-11-24T10:35:00.000-05:00Hmmm.
