The NaNo sends out a storm of cobwebs and crickets to blogs. I’m not complaining, just making an observation. 🙂 Hopefully lots of writers are furiously meeting daily goals. And if not, I sincerely hope there isn’t any self-flagellation going on. The NaNo is supposed to free up the creativity, open the mind to unrestrained ideas. But…

My Bathtub is Magic
Michele Smith tagged me with a seven weird fact meme. I’ve done these a couple of times before here and here. So, this time, I’m sharing one weird thing. I believe bathtubs are magic. I don’t know if I’m just able to truly let life and worries go when in water, or what, but if I’m…
Sweet Life Revisited and Kasey MacKenzie’s News!
Tonight, I took this recipe The Pioneer Woman’s Best Lasagne Ever and made it my own. What I changed: Ricotta instead of cottage cheese. Diced tomatoes in basil and garlic instead of whole stewed. Shredded Mozzarella instead of sliced. Shredded Parmesan instead of powdered ground. I also added a bit of oregano, a little extra…
La Dolce Vita!
Yes, I feel like it’s time to live the sweet life. I’m very happy about the election results–feel we finally came together and picked hope over fear. But I’m aware some people are still coming around to the idea, so for now, how about we celebrate La Dolce Vita! I’m getting ready for a fun…
Election Nerves=Book Spree!
I voted. Only saw one long line and so I settled in with my book. Then I heard a lady ahead of me wish her name started with a letter before K. When I asked why, she pointed to the line I should have been in. It had TWO people. So, I got in and…
Partied Out and Possible Writing Challenge
I’m glad one huge gathering is down. They’re fun, but sooo exhausting. I clean before and I clean after. Lots of tile floors with sticky, dried food and spilled wine. Found food directly on antique tables… But the costumes were fun! I’ll post the pics as soon as my sister forwards them. As for the changes…
This Site Needs Work
See all the missing photo links to the right? The site I used to host these shut down without warning. Today. Nice, eh? So, it’s going to look a little ratty around here until after Halloween. I’ll have to reload images and find a place to store them now. Grr.
Hectic Lately
This is my life–only I think this is a London Taxi. 🙂 But the pic fits in that life is going on crazily around me while I’m somewhere in my fictional world. I’ve been focused on my writing project and I really like it. Sent the synopsis to Rachel this week and she really likes it,…
Important Meme
I will soon be making an announcement about my involvement in something seriously cool with eight other FANTASTIC writers. One of them, Lilith Saintcrow, posted this meme today, so I’m breaking my “until Thursday” promise for it. From her blog: “A meme worth, well, memeing. Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you’re in a heterosexual…
Concentrating
Still alive here. I’m digging in to get my writing goals met by Wednesday night. Discovered plot hole in my own story. Grr. So, I’m putting all the focus into patching it. I’ll be back Thursday. 😉
