A minute void
This was just adorable. Kittens are the best little murder muffins. And sometimes when the stress gets too much, kitten pictures help. Very small worlds… One smile at a time. (header image: Friday (calico) and Kettlebelly (gray) while still in the fluffy jellybean stage.)

Coping Skills
I started reading a book the other day, on the recommendation of a dear friend. It’s not an easy read, for me. I have to stop sometimes and read something else, while I deal with the brain dumping chemicals… But I suppose I just started in the middle and ought to come back around…

Russian Black Bread
I got inspired to make bread (thank you Bustednuckles) and didn’t want to just toss together a quick n’ easy loaf. So… This one. Dark, a touch bitter, complex, chewy, and takes all daggone day to make. So worth it. Note that this is a very heavy bread dough. I love my stand mixer…

Baen Books
Anyone who has read my blog or who knows me, knows of my deep and abiding affection for Baen’s Bar, which led me to Baen Books. This week, a ham-handed and libelous attack was made on the forum. I’m including Toni Weisskopf’s response below. To Whom It May Concern: What is it we do…

Odd Prompts: Wonderland Snip
So! I have had a little extra time (two snow days!) and with rest, the writing brain started to come back online. This week’s snippet is short, but I’ve been working on this story trying to splice together all the bits and pieces into a cohesive whole. At 16K words I can say… it’s…
