It has been a good week for interesting links around the web, and I have saved several in my travels. As regular readers know, I usually do this post on Saturday. But this week on Saturday, I was co-leading a workshop called The Ins and Outs of Publishing, which was held at an awesome bookstore, […]
Yeah, so I know I wrote a whole post about being grateful and I am, truly and all. But today, two days after I wore myself out cooking for 14 people and a baby, I have one more thing to be grateful about–and that is that Thanksgiving is over. At about noon on Thursday, after […]
Today is Thanksgiving day in the United States. For those of you living in other parts of the world, our Thanksgiving is a day to feast and be grateful (never mind that it is slowly getting co-opted by big box stores trying to sell Christmas stuff early). It began waaaay back in the day, when […]
It is a sunny but very cold Saturday here, and I’m holed up inside trying to finish up my NaNoWriMo word count for the day before I start in on yet more cleaning in anticipation of hosting Thanksgiving. But, as always, or at least for the last two weeks, I have saved up a lot […]
I do have some good links that I’ve been collecting for you all week. But my heart is so, so heavy today and I am distracted as I read the news about my beloved city, Paris. It is so hard to know how to react or what to say in the face of such a […]
Took awhile for it to register that it is actually Friday the 13th. I always choose to think of it as lucky day, but today has been anything but. The attacks in Paris destroy me and now there’s been an earthquake off the coast of Japan. But I guess the rest of us have to […]
Yeah, I know. It’s November and you’re holed up in your writing cave. Because, NaNoWriMo. You’ve got words to write! 50,000 of them, to be exact! And even if you’re not participating in that NaNo thing, you’re doing your best to get tons of words on the page every day because that’s what we writers […]
I started this new blog series a little over a week ago, on Halloween, with the intention to publish a new post every Saturday. And, well, as the title says, s%# happened over the weekend. Like Wordstock, for instance, our local book and author fair (more on that in a post later this week). And […]
Hola! Its a beautiful Friday afternoon in Portland, Oregon, and I am posting the very first post on my new blog. Well, its not exactly new–just the design and the host (WordPress instead of Typepad). So, there’s a bit of a learning curve here and I’ll be playing around the next few weeks. But seeing […]
Happy Halloween! And so we come to the beginning of a new blog feature called Otherwhere. (It's a word, for real, I found it on Thesaurus.com.) In my travels around the internet, I find lots of interesting things that I post on Twitter, or once in a blue moon, on Facebook. But I've realized that […]
