Imagine that Facebook, WordPress, Reddit, Snapchat, World of Warcraft, and the Stock Market got together one night, had a little too much to drink and did things they regretted in the morning. Then, nine months later, a baby appeared. That kid would be Steemit. This relatively new (March 2016) social network built on a blockchain,... Continue Reading →
Please pardon the mess – website tweaking in progress
Yes, please pardon the mess. Just wanted to let everyone know why this site looks a bit different at the moment. As some of you are aware, for months now I've had issues with the site going down, lagging, and other such shenanigans. I spent a great deal of time at the end of 2017,... Continue Reading →
I’m in a polyamorous relationship… with Steemit and WordPress
I've had the refrain from Torn Between Two Lovers playing in my brain for days... "Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules" Only I hear it as - Torn between two platforms, feelin' like a tool Posting (on) both of you is breakin' all the...

Resolving to take a Steem-y break for January
Happy New Year! via GIPHY Since this is traditionally the day for starting resolutions, I figured it was wicked perfect for one of my own. First, a bit of backstory I've been running the Ello Pagans page since October 2016, after the uber-talented Terry kindly asked me to take over. At some point over there,... Continue Reading →
Welcome to #WitchBlogWed – a way for Pagan and Witchcraft blogs to connect!
Merry meet and bright blessings to all those who stumble across my humble little spot on the interwebz! I've had my Twitter account for ages and recently became aware of the magically awesome power of the hash tag. Over the years, I'd made many half-hearted attempts to connect with other bloggers, but it wasn't until... Continue Reading →
Two years later, Sir Terry Pratchett lives on in the clacks
We're coming up on the two year anniversary of losing Sir Terry Pratchett (March 12, 2015), so I thought it would be a good time to revisit this post I wrote a short later.

I Won The Liebster Award From Em Linthorpe
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 →
Revisiting Frozen – an old post about my old friend depression
I was talking to someone recently about my old friend depression, and was reminded of this post. Funny thing - when I went looking for it, I realized I'd written it at the end of February 2011. Something about this time of year... While I'm happy to say I'm feeling tons better these days, my... Continue Reading →
Microblog Monday – My 11th Blogiversary
My 11th Blogiversary is this Wednesday, September 7th. I wrote about my decade of (kinda sorta, then really) blogging last year, so this year I'll just sum up a few things that have happened since my 10th. I wrote two paid posts for BlogHer, and two featured (non-paid) posts for SheKnows. My Fandom Fridays morphed... Continue Reading →
MM – I’m a REAL Writer
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 →
Microblog Monday – Consistency is key
As the one year anniversary of posting three blogs a week (plus once a day for NaBloPoMo) approaches, I decided to peek at my WordPress stats. Now I can say I agree with all the bloggers who say consistency is key. 2013 Posts published - 7 Visitors - 37 Views - 200 2014 (prior to... Continue Reading →
MM – Writing woes
Tonight is the first time my writing group meets without me (thanks to circumstances involving my impending surgery), so I'm singing the writing woes blues. Yes, I'm writing in a way. I'm blogging consistently, but every single day, I think about Maeve and how I'm letting her down by not giving her a decent storyline.... Continue Reading →
