Dear God, As you will recall, heavenly Father, I used to have this other blog series, where I wrote increasingly pointed letters to God my Spouse aka Yeshua aka Jesus, about the state of affairs, about where was God anyway. Every now and again, people ask me if I still blog. I stopped – for […]
If there is one single group of people that has tended to stomp on my sense of self-worth and my belief in God, it has been members of the organized religious community. For the most part, atheists and agnostics and members of small religious communities are perfectly okay to nod agreeably. As long as I’m […]
*Trigger Warning* This post has SUI references. . . . . . . When I was 14, I voluntarily committed myself to a mental hospital. This isn’t something I put at the top of my resume. If it ever comes up, I often find myself glancing around to make sure no one is listening. Looking […]
True confession: I don’t see dead people, and I don’t hear audible voices, but I do “hear voices” in the sense of thoughts that are not mine, that suddenly appear like a dream in my mind. A lot of people will say that I am crazy and nuts. There are drugs and treatments for people […]
Like many people, I’m still adjusting to the reality that I’ve been stuck in my house for the past couple of months and … rituals have been hard to keep. This past week, I finally accepted that my “real/regular job” isn’t coming back any time in the foreseeable future. I started to do what I […]
This is the first Wednesday of the month, and that means IWSG Day! Like much of the “free” world, I am currently writing this from inside my home in the course of a weeks-long lock down to help slow the spread of a deadly disease in order to make the terrible less terrible. I know that […]

March 4 question – Other than the obvious holiday traditions, have you ever included any personal or family traditions/customs in your stories? I’m stumped on something to say this month. This question […]
2020 is here and it’s now the second Wednesday of 2020, but the Insecure Writer’s Support Group graciously gave us an extra week to write our posts for the month – and to go around and visit. This January, I was somewhat amused to discover that all of us in this Science Fiction/Fantasy Writer’s Group, […]
Hard to believe, but November is finally here and that means the first Wednesday and IWSG Day. This month’s optional question is a fun one: What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever googled in researching a story? This month is NaNoWriMo, and as always I seem to use November for writing crazy, wacky experimental stories. This […]
Hard to believe October let alone IWSG Day is here. I have had a busy couple of months including a new job which I love! My job is appropriate to the question of the month: It’s been said that the benefits of becoming a writer who does not read is that all your ideas are […]
