Wednesday Musings

Wow, I'm getting a great response to the contest! If you are a first time visitor to the blog, the contest information is below this post. Hurry and get your entry in. Thank you all for stopping by my new blog!

So while I'm finishing up my manuscript, I'm starting to think about my next book. To do that, I tend to absorb everything around me, including TV commercials. It's totally the opposite of what I do while I'm deep in the middle of writing a book, which is shut out the world.

Anyway, one of the things I'm noticing in commercials is the big "push" for Dr. Phil's prime time special with Paula Abdul. I think it's tonight. What caught my attention is "Paula breaks down in tears with Dr. Phil." That's the hook--watch a famous person cry in misery.

That doesn't really hook me. Am I missing something here?

Hmm, maybe I need to get deep into another book so I can tune this stuff out.

I hope everyone had a terrific Valentine's Day yesterday!
