[Writing Post] The Children of Tendu
It’s Wednesday. While I’m in the process of “re-redding” the hair in anticipation of a Christmas party this weekend (and I hate being called a blonde – I’m so NOT a blonde) I’m working on this blog. I’m not an early adopter of a lot of things – especially technology. So I’m generally late to […]
[Writer Post] Organized Forward Progress
Oh, look, it’s December. ‘Tis the season for Day Job Training. I’m going to be at my desk for a sum total of about 16 – 18 of my 40 hours this week. Not to mention all last week when I was in Maryland. Most of what I’m doing this week has no direct correlation […]
[Writer Post] Moving Forward
I’ve tried to write this blog a couple of different times today. Neither one worked. I could write about the elections, but I won’t. I could write about the vitriol, the fear, and the anguish on my social media feeds, but I won’t. That would just be adding to the noise. Instead… lets talk about […]
[Writer Post] Taking a Trip to Oz
Maybe the Wizard can give me a brain. I admit to being completely disjointed and unfocused for the last couple of weeks. My concentration has been crap. Creative output? A complete farce. I mention this because it’s NANOMO – or NANOWRIMO – whichever. It’s National Novel Writing Month, and I laugh in its general direction. […]
[Writer Post] Chaos, Disruption, and Spreadsheets OH MY!
It’s been a long week – and it’s only Wednesday. Not that it’s been BAD because it hasn’t. It’s just been very … weird. And long. And disruptive. The annual review went well – just a day later than I had scheduled so the head of self-esteem I had going had to be maintained and […]
[Writer Blog] Horn Tooting Epiphany
I’m not good at “Tooting My Own Hornâ€. I’m not! Really! Or at least it’s not something that comes naturally to me. Writing bios for conventions and websites almost makes me break out into hives. I think it comes from that super-ingrained cultural phenomenon that says, “Be quiet. Be humble. Don’t make waves. Don’t be […]
[Writing Post] Story Sale and Even Keels
What a difference a week or two makes. We’re in the second full week of October, and I can finally say I feel like all the weight and stress of the past few months is lifting. And if not completely lifting, at least shifting back to normal stuff. I SOLD A STORY! And not just […]
[Writing Post][Conventions] FenCon Part 2
My last post seemed to scare the bejeezus out of some folks. Let me ‘splain…no, it will take too long, let me sum up… I’m not giving up Guest Relations permanently, not even with FenCon. I’m just not going to be in charge. Guest Relations is not just something I do, it’s part of my […]
[Pen/Pencil Review][Conventions][Writing] COMBO POST!!!!!
YAY! COMBO POST! Pens, writing, and conventions because it’s just that week. Heck, it’s just that month. September is my most busy and stressful month of the year – and this week is the biggest week in the month. Day Job has a big event. FenCon starts (for staff) technically Wednesday. Parents 50th Anniversary is […]
