I’m spending the day getting ready to leave for the RWA conference in DC (can’t wait to see my Plotmonkey pals!
). Since it takes a good 8 hours to get to DC from Oregon, I’m taking a red-eye flight out tonight at 10:30 so I can be there by morning and not waste a day flying!
It sounded like a good idea at the time, and as long as I can sleep on the flight I’ll be fine.
I hope!
Anyway, I don’t have a brilliant blog for you today. Just a fun quiz to find out what your name says about you.
This is what the quiz has to say about “Janelle Denison”:

What Your Name Says About You |
![]() Your name says that you are mostly: Talented but unmotivated Your name also says you are: Ambitious but stubborn |
Overall, very interesting. I can’t agree with the “unstable” and “flighty” part! But yeah, I CAN be unmotivated at times. Can’t lie about that!
Click on the blue highlighted link above, type in your name, and post back here what your name says about you (and if you agree/disagree!)

Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

Let’s just say, I am not agressive (but the rest is pretty spot on). Weird. I am totally high strung (ask any one of the boys’ teachers); Very stubborn; not really artistic (unless I am pregnant) and VERY extreme (I get on something and I go full throttle).
Miss you all

Brilliant but obsessive
Hm, I wish I was energetic! But I can be impatient. I am ambitious and known to be stubborn. Fiery, maybe; unbalanced, no (I’m one of the most balanced people in my family). Brilliant – thank you, I’ll take that. Obsessive – not as much as other people in my family!

Glamorous but snobby

Definitely slow, although I prefer “methodical”
The antithesis of glamorous, and I hate snobs so I can’t possibly be one. Can I?
Unconventional is completely false. I’m so square I’m a cube. The unstable part is dead on LOL
Love the new look!
