[Writer Posts] Using TV for Fun and Characters
I watch too much television. It’s true. I do. But I love it – for the most part. There is a lot of crap out there, but there’s some good stuff. I’ve used my time watching TV to help refine some of my own writing – seeing character relationships that work, figuring out genres and […]
[Writer Post] Behold the Power of Voice
New writers hear a lot about “voice” when they’re learning their craft. And while that is important… I’m going to talk about the more traditional voice and how that can shape characters and fandom. I’m a huge fan of certain voices because they’re distinctive – and even iconic. I blame a radio background – I […]
[Random Life Post] E-Pub Question and Anniversary Week
I have a question for readers. If you buy both e-books and print – how would you feel if you bought and e-book (like a collection of short stories) that was significantly longer than a print version? Would you consider the ebook a “value add” situation or “bonus tracks” kind of thing, or would you […]
[Pen Pencil Review] The Ohto Promecha 500P by Guest Blogger Jimmy Simpson
This week’s pen/pencil review is done by my husband, Jimmy. Little did I know when I married him that he had a love of mechanical/drafting pencils that nearly rivals my pen addiction. Brad from Jetpens.com was kind enough to enable both of us in his shipment – since Jimmy was the one who introduced me […]
[Website] GoDaddy Saga Part 4
And the cursing and anger continues…in public forums. I’m making my feelings toward GoDaddy VERY, VERY clear… After manually changing the DNS contact information. After fighting through DomainsByProxy. After getting my hopes up that the DNS transfer was finally going through… I get this email from GoDaddy… ****************************************** REGISTRAR TRANSFER DENIED ****************************************** Dear Rhonda Eudaly […]
[Website] GoDaddy Saga Part 3
The website transfer from GoDaddy to HostGator still isn’t over. There’s light at the end of the tunnel – and I don’t think it’s an oncoming train – but it’s not OVER. At the end of last week, I finally got the DomainsByProxy privacy lock cleared – after getting the GoDaddy Office of the President […]
[Website] GoDaddy Saga Part 2
So if anyone at home has not been beaten over the head with my website woes of last week – the first part of the story is a public story on LiveJournal – here. There have been some developments since that writing, and – especially for the one user on LiveJournal – here’s the follow […]
The .Net Test Post – now with PHP changes
Thanks to to the support folks at HostGator and my personal support folk, Jimmy. I think I can now post to the .net account. The plan is to turn off the forwarding to Twitter and FB once I know things work and basically double post to both sites while we work out the DNS issues. […]
[Writer Post] Sometimes Being a Writer ROCKS!
The last several days have shown me why I LOVE being a writer. Despite being in a bit of technological crapshoot at the moment (the website will be down a bit on Wednesday while domains are renewed and shifted and STUFF), there have been some major upticks. Friday of last week, I had a phone […]
Possible Disruption of Website Service
Be aware that I am in the process of behind-the-scenes website maintenance. There could be a disruption of service in the next couple of days while some filebots duke it out in a death match. Hopefully all will be well by Wednesday.
