Back in September, Lynn Viehl gave away 10 ARC’s of her forthcoming novel, Evermore. I didn’t win one. She did, however, offer unbound galley copies to everyone who entered but didn’t win if they wanted one. What’s not to want? Of course, I greedily took her up on her offer … Continue reading →
I’ve been doing FlyLady for a little over a month now — we’re back to the Front entry and dining room. I think that’s where I formally began. Today I de-cluttered most of my kitchen counters. Boy does that feel good. Laundry is still on track. I remember to swish … Continue reading →
I can’t believe you asked that. But, I had it coming. The blog’s been perilously silent the last several days. Trust me, you’ll probably wish it remained that way after tonight. But somebody, somewhere has been wondering, so here goes. Clutter has been driving me nuts. My house isn’t that … Continue reading →

Holly’s publishing quest has me thinking. Work has me thinking. TECH is pressuring me to read quickly (because if I don’t, I know I’ll find some letter out of place in his book, and it’ll be my fault it goes national that way). The thought of writing new words still … Continue reading →
While waiting for stormy weather (which, thankfully, stood me up), I had time to finish reading Stuart MacBride‘s latest, Broken Skin. If you’ve followed MacBride’s work, you know he pulls no punches. The cover quote mentions “unflinching.” That’s attributed to the writing and the story you find inside. If you … Continue reading →
I’ve been reading a lot lately — both fiction and non-fiction. While I consider a pleasure factor, I’m reading to learn. The more I read with the Eye of a Writer, the more I realize I have a lot to learn about storytelling. Writing, if one is a writer, is … Continue reading →
I’m still struggling to write words, but I’ve composed a book review. I’ll polish it and submit Monday or Tuesday. Human Rights in the Global Information Society isn’t light reading, but it is enlightening. Unless you have a strong interest in maintaining something like this in your personal library, consider … Continue reading →
Technically, I don’t have a lot of perks with this job, but one I am thrilled about is the opportunity to get books. A co-worker stopped in my office to chat this morning and mentioned he had some books I could have. He’s the book monitor for his department, and … Continue reading →
That’s what they are. Maybe I’m just exhausted after reading about small town life last week, but I just haven’t found anything to be enthusiastic about here. Natasha had her 30-day check on Saturday, and she seems to be fine. If her cough resumes, we’ll figure it was bronchial asthma … Continue reading →
