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....

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 →
This past Friday (the 26th) was National Dog Day. Naturally, I spent it at the Veterinary Hospital with our dog, Sandy. He had an infected gland, but thanks to the kind ministrations of the wonderful people there, he's feeling much better. At any rate, here's a bit more about the holiday (which I will hopefully...

I know my Facebook friends are probably tired of hearing about this, but I felt the need to share my bat and the full moon story here as well. Around dusk on the night of the full moon (August 18th), I took our cat out for his evening constitutional (yes, we take our indoor cat... Continue Reading →
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 →
Tomorrow, August 9th, is National Book Lovers Day (although there are some who celebrate in November instead). To mark the occasion, I've decided to share 9 lists of 3 favorite book-related things. Be sure to shout out in the comment section with your own faves. 3 bookstores. Crackskull's Coffee and Books. Water Street Bookstore. RiverRun... Continue Reading →
Given how the calendar has played out, today, I'm doing a Witchy Microblog Monday post. Lammas falls on August 1st, which I wrote about last week (click HERE to check it out), and tomorrow is the Dark/New Moon in Leo (my favorite sign). First, a little info about the Dark Moon, from someone more well-versed... Continue Reading →
They're back! While I didn't blog about the Ghost Flowers I found last July, I did post about them on Facebook. I'm happy to say that while they're in different locations this year, I've still found some popping up in the woods surrounding our yard. First, a little blurb about what they are, from USWildflowers.com... Continue Reading →
Last month, some of the members of my local writers' group decided they wanted to start doing a monthly writing prompt. It then occurred to me that I haven't written a new short story since I moved away from my other writing group, seven or so years ago! Since I already posted a few of... Continue Reading →
First, apologies for any earworm caused by the post title, "On the radio." Even after I added, "Ghost Chronicles," Donna Summer refused to leave my brain. *grin* Next, as promised last week, here's the info about my guest appearance on the radio show, Ghost Chronicles Morning Edition. This is the blurb about the show -... Continue Reading →
Today, I got to be a guest caller on a local radio show. It was such a blast! I'll post more about it next week, when they have the episode loaded on iTunes. For now, here's to hoping everyone has a great, sunbow filled week! Oh, and thinking of Scott Cunningham today, on what would... Continue Reading →
I planned to post about this latest visitor to my yard last week, but went in a different direction instead. Today seems like a good time to introduce Rascal Racoon - so named because soon after his appearance, my yellow finch feeder was pulled apart, and one of my suet cages disappeared completely. The day... Continue Reading →
