Meandering Monday about Musical Memories

I used to act (I think I’ve mentioned that a few times before), though the last time I was in a show was early 1979, and the last time I auditioned was probably near the end of that year. Almost FORTY years ago, and yet I still hold onto acting as part of what I … Continue reading →

Fun Friday: In Search of a Frying Pan of Doom

One of the greatest things about the internet is how it makes it possible to find ANYTHING you are looking for (if only I could figure out how to get people to look for my books… sorry about that self-serving digression.) Whether you want to rediscover toys from your childhood, or find special tools or … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about My Hidden Dreams

Can’t. … Continue reading →

I find it hard to believe that THAT would … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about the Shortness of Memory

9-11-2001. Every time this anniversary rolls around, it seems more and more unreal that it happened. But it did. I remember I’d gone into work early, and someone said a plane had crashed in New York, and sitting at my desk checking the news online. Getting home to my family and spending the day in … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: It Is Time to Stop Procrastinating

I plod along in pursuit of my goals… I’ve added eight markets that I didn’t have in my list before, but I’m having a little trouble making my seven-day max cycle from return to resubmission. I have eleven stories seeking publishers right now, and between the number of publishers that have closed permanently, or are … Continue reading →
