Golden Heart Update - I'm a Finalist!

Bitchpants = TIGHT

My paranormal romantic suspense "Underbelly" is a finalist in the 2009 Golden Heart Paranormal category.

OMG. When you send your manuscript off into the ether, you might momentarily imagine or even dream that you might make the list of finalists. But to actually receive that phone call? I about crapped my pants.

More on this subject soon, but... all of a sudden this writing thing is no longer under the radar. So, accordingly, I'm coming out:

Bitchpants Codes

Following are the Bitchpants ratings I plan to use in this blog:

Bitchpants = Loose
If my bitchpants are loose, I am not at all annoyed about the topic I'm writing about. All is well. Compliments may well be uttered. Think ...(MC) Hammertime!

Bitchpants = Snug
If my bitchpants are snug, I am experiencing a... wee bit of angst about the topic at hand. These jeans are pinching me in the crotch. Annoying, but not agonizing.

Bitchpants = Tight
If my bitchpants are tight, I am highly, monumentally annoyed. Maybe angry. I can't breathe in these pants. I need a pliers to get these damn things zipped, and my genitals are going numb. May be modified by decade. e.g., '70's jeans' tight. This is as high as it goes.
