I created a different version of this graphic for the National Day on Writing in 2015. Since it's been a couple years, I thought I'd spruce it up a bit. I took this picture in October 2015 - it has my journal, athame, and pen, placed on a granite stone the woods behind our house... Continue Reading →
NOTE: Now that my ophthalmologist determined my vision issues are situational and not a sign of impending blindness, I'm feeling much better about being at my keyboard. However, since the blurriness still makes screen time challenging (and triggers headaches), I'm going to be scarce for a bit longer. I do have a ridiculously detailed health... Continue Reading →
NOTE: The good news - all of my tests so far have come back normal. The bad news - I'm not feeling any better, and still have no idea why. Given that I'm wearing an eye patch on my right eye (for what it's worth, my pirate name is Bella "Big And Brazen" Inch, The... Continue Reading →
NOTE - If this message is here, it's because I'm still trying to figure out who to bribe to make my health issues go away. For now, I've scheduled some posts to go up on MM, TT, WW, and FF at 8am (EST), and connected WP Publicize to auto-share them to Facebook, Twitter, Google +,... Continue Reading →
A couple weeks ago, I shared a writing prompt from my old writing group (we started in 2007) for #ThrowbackThursday. Since the monthly meeting for my newer group (started two years ago) is tonight, I thought I'd share another prompt from my former group. This one is also a flash fiction piece, and I actually...

Tomorrow is Pi Day! For those of you unfamiliar with this "holiday," here's a blurb from the official site - Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to... Continue Reading →
I won! I won! I won the Liebster Award from Em Linthorpe, one of the many wonderful and wicked awesome people I've met through the #SundayBlogShare tag on Twitter! Whoo hoo! According to her blog post, this is what it means - "What is the Liebster Award? It all seems a bit vague to me,... Continue Reading →
For the first time since 2010, I have a NaNoWriMo quandary. My original plan was to write something based on the fictional Internet Geek character I created for my old blog. However, I couldn't seem to puzzle out exactly what I wanted from that story line, so here I am - ten days away from... Continue Reading →
The NaNoWriMo countdown is on! One week from today, in addition to being Halloween and Samhain, it will be National Novel Writing Month Eve. I've done it every year since 2007, and crossed the finish line seven times. This year, even though I'm a big fan of pantsing, I might just give plotting a go.... Continue Reading →
Last Thursday, my computer shut down and Microsoft updated with nary a please or thank you. By Friday, my rig was toast. Thankfully, hubby is Hardware Geek to my Internet G33k, and got things straightened out by Saturday night - a process made easier by the fact that when he built my computer, he installed...

I never really watched Mike & Molly, but I saw this clip called, "Writer's Remorse" floating around the interwebz ages ago. Now that I'm knee-deep for the bazillionth time in revisions on my novel, "Wrecked" it popped in my brain again. Switch the Wild Turkey for Boru, and this could almost be me right now....

During the process of creating links for last Monday's post, I stumbled upon Zilpha Keatley Snyder's website (author of my personal favorite, The Velvet Room, among many others). One of the first things I noticed was a section called, "To Fellow Writers." I clicked on it, saw it contained a reprint of a 1993 article... Continue Reading →
