Last week’s progress: Three blog posts as per usual. I Just discovered an email I had overlooked; “Truth in Advertising” was actually rejected back in November, so I’ve lost three months of shopping it around because I thought it was still under consideration. My commenting on others’ blogs continues to be adequate. My March 1st … Continue reading

Meandering Monday about You Mortals
I joke a lot about being immortal (well, most people who hear me think I’m joking, so let’s go with that.) Healthwise, I’ve been very lucky. I am seldom ill, and when I do succumb to illness, I’m over it in a couple of days, versus the week or two that others get to enjoy. … Continue reading
Fractured Fragment Friday: “The Unreliability of the Mature Mind”

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Bugging Out”
In “Bugging Out” I was exploring a couple of disturbing observations about impermanence – the way that buildings seem to instantly appear (yes, I know they were probably being built for weeks and I just wasn’t paying attention) and also how common objects that I know I just saw simply vanish (where did I put those … Continue reading
Writing Wednesday: Remember the Reason for Your Goals
So, from last week: Three blog posts. Still don’t have an open market to send “Date Night” to. It’s been a long time since I checked to see what markets have opened up (and I’m still too cheap to pay for a service since Duotrope Digest started charging. I need to update my market list … Continue reading
