Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
For the first Monday of 2015, I wrote about changing up the look of my blog, and remembering how my late father taught me to code. Now, for this last Monday of the year, as I get ready to head to my four week post-surgical checkup, I'm finding it kind of awesome that I'm in... Continue Reading →
A few minutes ago, I hit "publish" on my Witchy Wednesday post for last week. I still haven't started a Fandom Friday for the 18th, but I figured I'd jump ahead to today's post so at least one of my last three posts will be on time. *grin* The title of the post is, "Yule... Continue Reading →
Hubby recently had a schedule change at work, which means we now wake up before the sun (I get up with him and make his breakfast and such). Even though I'm still off the clock and recuperating, I can't help but go out to the kitchen and keep the eldest company while she does my... Continue Reading →
It's been one week since my hysterectomy, and I'm amazed by how incredible I feel. Yes, I'm still tired and sore, but at 6am the morning after the surgery, I was standing by my hospital room window when the surgeon arrived to check in. She said, "Hey, look at you!" and I replied, "I know... Continue Reading →
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...

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 →
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 →
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 →
"NaNoWriMo has begun, So much writing, so much fun If you type words every day You will win a novel." ~ Traci York (apologies to the Teacher's Meeting rhyme from my childhood) Once more into the fray that is 1,667 words written every day for the month of November. This year, I'm working on the... Continue Reading →
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 →
Tomorrow is the National Day on Writing, and I plan to participate. Here's the blurb from the official site - Why I Write: 2015 National Day on Writing What, how, and why do you write? October 20, 2015 The National Writing Project, NCTE, The New York Times Learning Network, and the Teaching Channel invite you... Continue Reading →
Last Monday, I whined..., err, wrote about my frustration with my plot difficulties. In a beautiful show of synchronicity, my FB newsfeed this week has been full of things related to my story (the Akashic Records, Technomancy, and the veil thinning, to name a few). While I enjoyed my little pity party (because it's not... Continue Reading →
