Twas the night before nano ends
And I'm blogging :D
hee hee okay I've done squat with my nano this year, but admittedly more than last year. Everyone keeps talking about those darned Alphasmarts. Aptly named too. Those alphas smarts when you dont' have one! :P
I saw so many opportunities to write AWAY from the computer. Hopefully Santa will put one under my tree this year. :D
So I'm going to update my website soon and have it lovely with Christmas. I won't be putting up a Cristmas Tree until the 19th though. It's tradition for us to put it up on my Birthday!!! So until then I'll try to write a winter short story and fix my printer-- it's on the blink right now, but hopefully it's just a setting and I can tinker with it.
Have a Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

Dear Divas-
As some of you probably already know,we are experiencing technical difficulties on the forum-as of this morning we can read the forum but cannot post. Meanwhile, please visit the Diva blog at: http://romancedivas.com/divablog/
for messages and to keep in touch. You are also welcome to e-mail me here.
The steamy contemporary chat this Saturday, November 5th with Bronwyn Jameson, Nancy Warren and Lucy Monroe is still on! It's at 9PM EST and should last about an hour and a half. Please come by and chat with these fabulous authors!
Following is the message Jax posted today on the Diva blog:
Romance Divas is 1 year old this month!
Thank you for your support as a member of our award winning website and forum. Without your membership and participation Romance Divas would not be where it is today.
With this new year we plan on implementing more changes that may benefit our members. One of the major steps is to improve our forum software. We are happy to announce that we’re upgrading to a new forum which will be implemented this weekend. This new board should alleviate the issues that we face with our current board. As a way to have a stable forum for our increased membership we decided to do what is best for the site and we apologize for any inconveniences. I know some of you divas may go through withdrawal, but be strong. We’ll be up and running in no time at all.
Please be aware our forum will be down this weekend, November 5th, and may not be up and running until the end of the next week since we will need to ge acquainted and troubleshoot the implementation. We want to make sure the forum starts off on an excellent footing.
Again, we value your membership and thank you for your continued support as we enter into our second year. Please utilize our website by reading the book reviews, articles, etc. There is more to Romane Divas than just the forums. We also have our blog at www.romancedivas.com/divablog.
We will be posting updates on our main website, www.romancedivas.com, and will announce our new official forum launch from there.
Please feel free to contact us if you should have any questions. admin@romancedivas.com
Thank you!
Jax, Kristen & Lisa
The Romance Divas
