Daydreaming
Which is another way of saying this is a catch-all post. My schedule for today is homework, more homework, work-work, possible lunch with friends (yay!), and if that happens and I have my homework done, I get to go shoot butterflies. Yes, I know you need a teeny-tiny calibre to shoot butterflies… you all are…

Uninspired
I think it’s that I’m not hungry this morning. I should be writing a blog about food, or a restaurant, but… Well, the last really great restaurant meal we ate was at the City Cafe in Chattanooga TN. We always go there when we get down to LibertyCon, they have the best food, and really…

The God’s Wolfling: Snippet 6
The end is near… I can’t believe how fast time is flying, and this book’s launch date is looming ever nearer. I’m so not ready. But I will be, I promise. Even if print editions are a week late (I say that with every launch, don’t I?). Vulcan’s Kittens, book one in the Children of…

LibertyCon 27 AAR
First of all, I’m back, and I’m sorry for my lack of planning! I thought I would have a few minutes to put up a post Saturday and yesterday, and it didn’t happen. Next year, I will plan ahead for this. We arrived in Tennessee on Thursday, early, treating that first day as a vacation…

Review: Double Dipping
Yes, I’m going to review two books again this week. I’m not saying it’s going to become a trend, but you can expect to see it again next week as well. I’m relaxing, enjoying summer, and a little more time than I ordinarily have. So I get to read more. And I have some great…

The God’s Wolfling: Snippet 3
You can find snippet one here, and snippet two here, and I really need to make a sticky post for these, hadn’t I? As always, this is a work in progress. Let me know what you think! Oh, and this is a long snippet today, almost 2000 words, but I think you will be familiar…

Bubble Warp
No, that’s not a typo. You keep a person in a bubble, you’re going to warp them, physically and emotionally. Bubble wrap, the other spelling, is also an apt metaphor for over-protection. Mirror-posted at According to Hoyt I was working at an indoor playground this weekend, and in between the mad rush of what I…

Perpetual Adolescence
I wrote a paper for Human Growth and Development close to two years ago now, and it came immediately to mind when the latest example of childishness popped up on the internet. Larry Correia delivers a brilliant fisking of the article. I really should expand on this paper, I didn’t even touch on the neural…

500 times
WordPress tells me this is my 500th blog post on this blog. It’s a milestone… I was thinking, again (a dangerous pasttime, I know) about this blog, and why I do it. It started out as a mommy blog, a way to share pictures and anecdotes of my family with far-flung relatives. Scattered updates, and…

The Rule of Fives
Mirror-posted at Mad Genius Club today. I found a post on Passive Voice about the Five Finger Rule, which I wasn’t familiar with. I had a good chuckle over his one-finger salute of it, and read the comments for further insight. In the comments, Will Entrekin came up with a lovely rebuttal, and one I…
