New Endeavors… New Challenges
The editing & proofreading tests are in. We’ll see what happens when I get the results back. However, I’m beginning a new phase in life — the freelance editor/proofreader. As well as writer. I’m still applying for stuff with companies and things, but I’m also going to be putting myself out there for freelance work. […]
What I’ve Learned Today…
Standard Manuscript Format is one of my Hot Button Topics. Who knew? I went on two different rants about it today. If you really care, the Follow Up Rant is here. I actually opened that one up to the public. The first one is a copy of the one below. But now I want it […]
Apologies to John Scalzi
I misnamed his book in my previous posting. It’s Ghost Brigades not Ghost Soldiers – which is INDEED the book J.Cheney refers to about the WWII South Pacific Theater and the atrocities done to the POWs. Sorry for the confusion. It has been corrected.
Convention Curses and Updatery
As most people who actually know me now know — I’ve once more been thrust into the Freelance Writer World. That’s upbeat speak for, my “day job” decided I wasn’t the “right fit” for them yesterday. At least this time it was a FULL DAY after I got back from the Most Amazing ApolloCon. But […]
SoonerCon and Google Alerts
I’m back from SoonerCon in OKC. There will be a more detailed report later when I can actually string words together to make sentences coherently. You’ve been warned… SoonerCon ROCKED!!! If you weren’t there, why not? If you’re a SoonerCon ConCom reading this — Thank you so much for the great party. We had a […]
Might be on the radio this morning
I love the Gene and Julie show on 103.7 FM (KVIL). I called in this morning. The topic was how women change names when they get married. Told my story. Not quite as funny as some, and yes, I use real names. But most of you know them anyway. D’OH… But seriously, cool show. Julie […]
Final Farewell, Robert Aspirin
I didn’t know Bob that well. I’ve met him a few times through other people and ConDFW. He was pleasant to me. I’m shocked beyond words at his sudden passing. I grieve for those who knew him, loved him, and are devastated by his loss. MYTH Adventures was some of the first SF Humor I […]
Dropped off the Face of the Earth
Yes, I know… Bad Rhonda, no biscuit. After teasing everyone with regular updates, I fall off the face of the earth for 2 weeks. Just so you all know, I started a new day job last week. It’s all writing. Writing about bankruptcy and social security and legal stuff. I’m THE writer on site. There […]
Battlestar Galactica Pens and Writing
I’m coming to the end of a couple of major writing projects (one to go into the submission process) and the last stages of the Redheads of the Apocalypse sequel. For the record — integrating four very different authors and their voices/characters/etc into one cohesive narrative? Tough work. Worth it, but tough work. So.what does […]
Scarborough Renaissance Festival
If you’re wondering where I’ve been or where I’m going to be for the next two months? I’m hanging out at Scarborough Renaissance Festival at the LA Williams Art Studios, Inc. booth. Don’t believe me? Here are some pictures from Opening Weekend… This is me on Opening Day, skirt was made by Tamisan… A shot […]
