*Note: after you read the review, please scroll down to the end of this post and answer the question I've asked. Thank you, beloved readers. Waking Up in the Land of Glitter by Kathy Cano-Murillo I've followed Kathy Cano-Murillo for quite some time on her crafting blog and lately her writing blog. Why? Because she […]
I have a reason for asking the question in the title. I've been going on and on about how I'm re-organizing my office, down to sorting through the oldest papers. And the work continued this weekend. I'm down to a box of old CDs to sort, which I'm not entirely sure what to do with, […]
Book Review: Write Right Online by Andy Hayes Transparency is a big buzz word around the internet these days.Everyone is supposed to be transparent and tell their audience every single little thing about them. I like this trend. At least I like it in others. But when it is time for me to be transparent, […]
The Future That Brought Her Here by Deborah Denicola Before we get started, I want to make one thing perfectly clear, just in case the FTC happens to be reading my blog (stranger things have happened, but not many). I have an ulterior motive in writing this review: I got a free book to do […]
The thing about bookcases is that you always need more of them. At least I do, because the stream of books in my life is never ending.

Today I chose the winner in a most scientific fashion–I wrote the names of the people who commented on pieces of paper, and had my daughter choose. So, drumroll please…. The winner is…. Heather Justesen! Heather's new […]
A ritual from an energy-healing technique that shall remain nameless ends thusly: it is done, it is done, it is done. This is meant to be the signal that the healing has taken place. But today I am co-opting it to announce that the novel is done. Finished, finito, fini, DONE. I can hardly believe […]
When my kids were little, it seemed like every other week there was a social event I didn't want to attend. I'm a pretty social person (all these hours I spend alone writing need some balance) but sometimes there were things I just didn't want to do–school parties where all the mothers seemed far more […]
I'm a junkie for writing books. The good ones get me so excited about writing that I have a hard time finishing them because I put them down to go write (sort of like what I hope this blog does for people). And even the bad ones generally offer some tidbit or another. So when […]
