This is the first line drawing of the tattoo Mary Joy Scott is designing for me. I don't know how I got so lucky to find and artist who loves drawing Victorian roses, but I adore what she's coming up with. Even if I’m not the girl at RWA as the girl with the most tattoos, I might win for the biggest.
Okay, I really have to write now. I have a goal of completing 7K by Monday night. That may not sound like a lot to many folks, but for me the act of writing is like running through water. It’s slow and hard and takes all my energy. This book has been especially challenging because it’s totally different for me. Magic, a little BDSM, urban fantasy setting…I’ve never done all of the above in one book before. But these characters just surprise me at every turn, and I really have no idea what the heck’s going to come out of their mouths. My heroine just told my hero that she came from the circus. Turns out she got turned on by watching the Lion trainer tame the beast. Who knew?
Also, I’m behind on my word count because we have had houseguests for over a week. Not just one group of folks but three different arrivals. I’ve been having a blast, but I am seriously behind on my word count now.
And I really need to stop watching The Pick of Destiny.

I know you can make your goal! Oh and I love that tat design. It's gorgeous!
Thanks, RG! I can't wait to see it with color!
Very beautiful Victorian roses. Hope they turn out just the way you hope.
I love your image of writing as walking underwater. I can relate in so many ways.
Oooh, pretty! How long will it take to get a tat that size? Wait, never mind -- you can tell me in Dallas. Write, write, write!
Thanks Julia, so do I! I'll make sure and post a picture as soon as I have one.
Robin, she says it will take two three-hour sessions. Good thing I like pain. ; )
What a lovely drawing! I can't wait to see a picture of the tattoo when finished - I bet it will be gorgeous.
Happy writing!
That's going to look so amazing!
Good luck with your 7K. I think that's a lot.
Ha! How big you going? I want Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii, across my right shoulderblade. Nice and big and kinglike. Oh, and a small dragonfly on my ankle. I have a can can dancer on my left bicep, and she's good and raunchy. Rock on!
Ohh! I fnailly decinded on 7 orchids down my side, one for each bebe.
Crap. That was a mess. And I love yours, too!
I have a weird question. Do tatts change the way your skin smells? Dh is worried.
Eva, if you get a tattoo of a flower your skin will smell like that flower.
That is exactly what I will tell him.
And writing is like running through water for me too.
Seriously, Eva, your tattoo will be awesome!! Sounds beautiful!
I'm getting a baby bird for the kid.
And your skin will smell the same. So tell, me what does Eva Gale's skin smell like, ayway?
Roses rock as a tattoo!
Biased? How am I biased? (quickly covers up left arm...)
Seriously love that tat design, girl! I'm still wanting to get a new one myself and the whole "refresher" I did on my existing ones didn't help that at all. Gonna do something to celebrate my celtic heritage on my right ankle, not totally sure what just yet...
