[Writer Post] Weird Wednesday
This is another weird Wednesday post. I’m deep in the throes of FenCon Prep (because I’m on staff). I have another event in East Texas on September 8th (which I have all my books packed for, because we were pulling FenCon stuff). There are 3, count ’em THREE family birthdays in the next two weeks.

[Writer Post] From Idea to Plan in Three Easy Steps
This week’s blog post…how a random idea can become a “Full-Fledged Plan” in Three Easy Steps. 1. Agree to something you wouldn’t normally do 2. End up with a brain worm of an idea 3. Mention it briefly on Facebook and have it bloom Yeah…that happened yesterday. You see, I had this idea for converting […]
[Spotlight Post] Shanna Swendson and the Enchanted Series
This week’s spotlight is on Shanna Swendson, a fellow Dallas/Fort Worth author, FenCon Staff Member, and fangirl. If it weren’t for Shanna and our friends, Todd and Sam, I would have never discovered Phineas and Ferb (it’s all their fault). Though I’ve mentioned her work before in blog posts, it’s been quite a while, and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] [Writer Blog] The Dallas Pen Show

I participated in FenCon and The Dallas Pen Show – thankfully they were on opposite […]

Professionally, a lot of writers can either have deflated or inflated expectations. Frankly I prefer having deflated expectations. It makes having a grand time out in the world easier to accomplish. What […]
[Life] USPS Impossible FAIL
Today I was part of the “impossible” at the United States Post Office. That’s not necessarily a Good Thing – and because the stress of the Week before FenCon isn’t enough… it happened today. The result is a change in PO Box address – and the invalidation of every single one of my new business […]
[Writing Post] SQUIRREL!
I’m deep into “SQUIRREL!” mode right. I admit it. This is the last week before FenCon. FenCon is one of those rare times where I have to be three people all at once. I am FenCon Staff (worker chick). I am Panel Participant (writer chick). I am Friend of Fen (fun fangirl chick). My “to […]
