As another NaNoWriMo draws to a close, I am happy to say I've crossed the finish line yet again. This year though, since today also marks the end of my uterus (as you read this, I'll either be in surgery or recovery, depending on the time of day). Since I'll have free time to spare...

As NaNoWriMo winds to a close (I have just under five thousand words to go), I thought this quote would be appropriate for this Fandom Friday. I've paired these words of wisdom from Neil Gaiman with a picture I took last winter of a Tufted Titmouse (and yes, I'm five years old, and I giggle... Continue Reading →
Tonight is the depressingly titled, but very seasonally appropriate Full Mourning Moon in Gemini. I found the best explanation of this particular moon at an unexpectedly place - Refinery29 (yeah, the fashion and style website - I was wicked surprised too!). The article is called, Why You Should Care About Tomorrow's Full Moon by Sara... Continue Reading →
Now that I can faintly see the NaNo finish line shimmering in the distance, I figured I'd share this short, mostly unedited blurb from the start of "Aground." Context - Maeve and Jack are on vacation, and Maeve has misplaced her amber, ghost repelling necklace. Also, for those of you who were interested in my... Continue Reading →
This past Wednesday (November 18th) was the 30th anniversary of the publication of the first Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. Yes, I'm not ashamed to admit I'm old I used to read the newspaper all the time just for the comic section, and Calvin and Hobbes was one of my top, all time faves. The... Continue Reading →
Over the past few weeks, I've noticed a Tarot card type trend with the witchy people I follow on Facebook and the Blogosphere. Many kindhearted and generous readers are offering either free one card readings, or posting three cards and revealing the interpretations later in the day. Two people in particular have inspired this post... Continue Reading →
Last week, I felt like a real writer. This week, even though a kind journalist quoted me in an article about NaNoWriMo, I'm back to feeling like I'm writing nonsense. Thankfully, this appeared in my NaNoMail (this is only the beginning - click on the link to read the rest of his wise words) -... Continue Reading →
Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of Sir Tim Berners-Lee's proposal for the entity we all know and love, called the World Wide Web. From the Nov. 12, 1990 (for the full text, click here) - HyperText is a way to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the... Continue Reading →
It's somewhat ironic, in an Alanis Morissette kinda way, that as a writer, I had a hard time writing a Dark Moon Release spell. When I first started studying Wicca, all the books (yes, back in the dark days before the interwebz was a thing) had beautiful, poetic spells that I felt needed to be... Continue Reading →
Today marks the day that I feel I've become a real writer. No, not because I'm working on my fifth Maeve Sawyer book (for a total of seven, first draft novels sitting on my hard drive). And not for the other bazillions of reasons I should know I'm already a real writer. But for me,... Continue Reading →
I can't believe I've done almost a years worth of Fandom Fridays, and haven't yet mentioned World of Warcraft! I've been playing since the second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King (so, around 2008-ish). We have a family guild called, "Unholy Humanity" because we acquired it, in-game, from someone selling it for gold (now, after... Continue Reading →
A week from today, Wednesday November 11th at 12:47pm EST the Dark Scorpio Moon arrives (also known as the New Moon in Scorpio). According to the site, Cafe Astrology, the Dark Scorpio Moon is a good time for - taxes, accounting, intimacy issues, psychological examinations, research, self-examination, getting rid of old things. I plan to... Continue Reading →
