Here’s an opportunity for you. Check out the Writing Divas. As a great way to get to know them, they’re having a scavenger hunt contest with a lovely sounding gift basket as a prize. It seems like it’s geared toward women, but you guys, pay no attention to that. Check … Continue reading →
I’ve had Orson Scott Card‘s Ender’s Game in my TBR pile for a year and a half. Since I have the opportunity to have lunch with him next week, I dug down and read it. I was missing a darn good story–as is likely the case for numerous books in … Continue reading →
I finished Lynn Viehl’s Way of the Cheetah last night. If you’re a writer, you can’t go wrong with the one-two punch Way of the Cheetah and Holly Lisle’s Create A Character Clinic provide. I’m off to a slow start in 2006. I’m slow in all areas of my life … Continue reading →

Create A Character Clinic is a step-by-step course for creating characters who will come to life in your fiction. … Continue reading →
So hubby found an iPod nano on the streets of Chicago over Thanksgiving. It still worked, but the bottom half of the screen is damaged. After purchasing a USB to iPod cable (Apple has decided to abandon FireWire for these guys, I guess, because, while I can charge the nano … Continue reading →
I just learned a co-worker lives on the same street I do. If it were, say, Broadway in New York, this wouldn’t be a big deal, but my street is, technically, one block long, and, realistically, about two and a half blocks long. I’ve lived here for six months. I … Continue reading →
I’ve encountered two annoying things with WordPress 2.0, and neither thing is directly WordPress’ fault. Both are a problem with ZoneAlarm Pro, my firewall. One, the “enable referrers” problem surfaced tonight, and I think it’s solved–I had to enable Private Headers for my blog site. Easy enough. If you’ve encountered … Continue reading →
