Whiny Wednesday: Conference Report

by Sherri Browning Erwin

You’re reading this while I am at my happy place, in Walt Disney World, waiting for the start of the RWA Conference. Today, I’m probably in the Magic Kingdom (or possibly the Disney Hollywood Studios park) with Dee Davis, Julie Kenner, Kathleen O’Reilly, and anyone else who tagged along with us. We’ll be visiting my [...]

Jammie Fashion: Fashion Friday

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

I’m on deadline, and thus, spending as much time in my jammies as possible–staying in them until as late as possible in the day since I get up and go to the computer until it’s time to do school with the kids, and changing into “real” clothes only when it’s time to go out for [...]

Good Buys/Books: Ya Think?

by Sherri Browning Erwin

(Classic Kath- from 04/09/08) I’ve just found this great product that’s right up the Whine Sisters’ alley. Even if it’s only half as effective as promised, it will help relieve some of the symptoms we all suffer from. I’m going to rush right out and buy a caseload! Sherri adds: But seriously, some of us [...]

Writer’s Corner-Writing with a partner

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

So, for a while now I’ve been working on what I’ll call the Project with a friend. This is the second time I’ve written with a partner, not counting writing prologue’s and epilogues with Kathleen and Dee for our Hell With The Ladies and Hell On Heels anthologies, or with Kathleen for this month’s Just [...]

Not Really Pop Culture Monday…

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

So I looked at my calendar wrong, and thought I was writing about Good Buys, which would be an easy subject for me because I found the Best Freaking Buy Ever recently, both because I need it desperately as I finish up this book, and also because it’s free. It’s Mac Freedom, and it’s this [...]

Question of the week: Conferences. Love ‘em? Hate ‘em?

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

As you read this (unless you’re reading it very late in the day), I’ll be participating on a panel and delivering the keynote speech at the Tarrant County College writer’s conference. And on Friday, I was at the Irving Club’s Tea in Lockhart speaking about being an author (I’m writing this on Thursday, but I’m [...]

Good Buys/Good Books: Gone With The Wind

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

I recently finished reading Gone With The Wind (following a viewing with my husband for the umpty-millionth time), and I have to say I am truly blown away by this book (haha – “blown” – get it?). (And, yes, by the movie, too, though this is Good BOOK Tuesday…). One of the things I find [...]

The Internet has Destroyed my Pop Culture IQ

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

So, you’d think that the Internet–with all it’s connectivity and info at your fingertips yada yada yada–would have made me more pop culture aware. It hasn’t. Now, granted, I’ve never been the most pop culturally aware gal on the planet. I don’t think I’ve ever watched the Grammy’s (the Oscars are a different story–I used [...]

Question of the Day-What the heck is this???

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

I have a tendency to not only work late, but to also scribble notes to myself that end up scattered around my desk. Usually, they’re about the work-in-progress, especially if I’m in revisions. I’ll have a gazillion Post-its about Things To Do as I’m revising, and I know when revisions are complete when I’ve a) [...]

Pop Culture Monday: SAG vs Golden Globe

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Comparisons are fun! Shall we have a look at some different style choices for SAG/Golden Globes? Christina Hendricks. Full figured gal, on the hit show Mad Men. I love that she has amazing curves. And she knows how to play them up or down, clearly. For the Golden Globes, she let the globes come out [...]

Writers Corner: Spurring Creative Juices

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

My oldest daughter is about as creative as they come. Okay, that’s a significant part Mommy talking, but the kid really does make up some wild and crazy stories. And she’ll invent worlds and friends and bizarre situations. Leave the kids in their room to play for a couple of hours, and who knows what [...]

Fashion Friday: Weighing In

by Sherri Browning Erwin

I’m currently fashion-challenged, as in it is a challenge to find fashion to work with my current body. I like food and wine, and it shows. Darn. So my next order of business in the new year is to kick-start the healthy eating-fitness regime. Thin may be in, but thin’s not my goal. Staying healthy [...]

Whiny Wednesday – Airport Screening

by Julia London

Recently, I flew through Tulsa, Oklahoma, which has those full body scanners. I had never been through one before, so when they suggested I step in, I did. I lifted my arms. They took a picture. I got the okay and walked through and got on my flight and never thought about it again…until the [...]

Pop Culture Monday: The Ubiquitous Gift Card

by Julia London

Gift cards were apparently the thing to give this Christmas. Personally, I used to be a bigger fan of the gift card than I am now.  Since most places offer gift cards, I find that I get them for places I probably wouldn’t go.  And even if I were inclined to go there, they are [...]

Question of the Week: What Kind of Wrapper Are You?

by Julia London
crapwrap_ex8

In the years that the Whine Sisters blog has existed, I have come into the self-awareness that I am not very domestic.  I don’t cook, I don’t decorate, I don’t do crafts.  I do, however, clean up pretty well and can make everything look nice and neat, which probably suggests that in a previous life, [...]

Welcome to Whiny Wednesday.

by Kathleen Givens
Christmas Presents

Wednesdays have a whole new agenda at the new Whine Sisters.  We’ve set this day aside to talk about weird things we’ve found in the news or in life, or to whine.  Sometimes both.  Sometimes about the same thing.  I’m going to start the Wednesday madness with a whine (now really, are you surprised?).    But along [...]

Whine Sisters, Reloaded

by Sherri Browning Erwin
fireworks2_davegreen_470x354

Celebrate! We’re back! We missed you, and we have big news! First, there were three. Julia London, Kathleen Givens, and Sherri Browning Erwin got together in 2004 to bring you whine and cheese (and snark, plenty of snark). Then, we realized we had one more sister out there ready to whine along, and the delightful Jacquie [...]
