Okay it’s been a month since I’ve posted so I feel like Celebrate the Small Things Friday is more like an entire month. My dad turned 80 and we had a lovely surprise party. He also has received a completely unsolicited offer for our childhood home which is a bittersweet blessing because it is time […]
It’s June and the first Wednesday of June and that means it is time to post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where once a month we get together to share our insecurities, our successes, and generally help share the burden of the writing life. This past month has been a bit crazy. I had […]
Lori MacLaughlin, author of Lady, Thy Name is Trouble, is releasing her sequel novel Trouble By Any Other Name today May 23rd. Congrats Lori! Trouble By Any Other Name Tara Triannon is no stranger to trouble. She’s yet to find an enemy her skill with a sword couldn’t dispatch. But how can she fight one […]
This week for Celebrate the Small Things I am celebrating: Getting lots of writing done. 2. Getting a free Cinco de Mayo t-shirt from Moe’s (one of my favorite chain eateries ever!) I got there at opening time and there was literally a line around the store. Someone had even brought lawn chairs to […]
AND Happy IWSG Day AND Happy Star Wars Day! Today is also Jane Jacobs and my mother’s birthday. (I only knew the first one because of Google.) Today is also a day for me to celebrate those who made it through the A-Z Challenge and all the inspiration I got personally from that great communal […]
Okay, that’s it. It’s been a long month and I’m done writing made-up stories. Today, I’m going to tell you a little about myself. My name is actually Zarknon. I am actually an artificial life form engaged in a complex Turing test to see if people will believe I’m actually human. I don’t need rest […]
I’ve had a super-productive week writing-wise. I decided mid-month to enter CampNaNoWriMo to give me that extra shove to finish off a novel draft, which I just did. I managed to do posts for the A-Z Challenge (though I didn’t spend as much time I wanted to.) And now that I’m feeling all creative I’m […]
There was something I was really supposed to tell you. I remember writing it down somewhere. Was it on my iPhone? No… I forgot to charge the stupid thing again last night. I didn’t have my journal at the time, so it couldn’t have been my journal either. Agh, where did I write it down? […]
There are two things that I would like to take a moment to clarify – well, at least two. First, Socrates my husband would have been nothing without me. I was the real brains of the operation. Have you ever heard of the Socratic method? Yeah, it should probably be called the Xanthippic method – […]
I’m not angry. I’m not even sad anymore. I am simply riddled with invisible bruises, like how a long ago broken arm twinges before a storm. Why were you so cruel? Were you insecure, not ready to have a child, blaming yourself for my faults, real and imagined? I stand by your grave like standing […]
