Lurgy
The good thing is, I’ve been writing. The bad is that it’s slow going. Finding the time to write, around work and family, is hard enough, and I’ve been fighting both of the stories I’m working on. Beating my head against the story and having to backtrack to make sure my plot doesn’t wander off…

A Sense of Order
Yesterday’s post was about coping with chaos, so it seems fitting to follow up today with the benefits of orderliness. I am a creative soul, and we’re not known as neatniks for a reason, I’ve discovered. I’m not fond of stereotypes, but it seems there’s no escaping this one! Or is there? Ofttimes the clutter…

Powerless
I’m posting from my phone, and it’ll be short. The House of the Writer has been without power for 26 hours and counting at the time I write. We had a nasty storm rip through our area. All are well, healthy, and whole. So this is a nuisance but endurable. I could wish we’d been…

Planned irregularity
This blog will continue to be irregular for the rest of June. I know, I know, when has it ever been regular? It’s just that there is traveling, and work commitments not only at the ‘regular’ job, but the art & design end of my spectrum, too. Frankly my dear, I’m swamped. I was sitting…

Oh, Hey!
Waves at her readers I’m running out the door in about fifteen minutes and I still need to load the car… Despite shutting down the business website and facebook and all that, I still have clients who call, and since I have the time… Oh, who am I kidding. I miss performing. It’s so much…

Learning is My Supercrack
I can’t claim that line – that’s from the fingers of the marvelous Mike Kabongo this morning, when we were chit-chatting in Gary Poole’s unending thread #forthecookies. It’s too much to tell, let me sum up. There’s a bunch of us that use this lengthy facebook thread as a hang-out spot. We mostly seem to…

And the Other Thing
This and that… One of the perks of teaching a teen home ec. in homeschooling is that I get to eat waffles for breakfast, and I didn’t have to cook them. Buttermilk waffles from scratch, mmmm. While I’m eating these delicious fluffy things, I’m also taking a break from cleaning house. It’s not bad, but…

2016 In Personal Retrospective
It’s been an amazing year. It really has. It just has also been a roller coaster of ups and downs and sudden left turns I didn’t see coming. There were definitely times I had whiplash. But in the end, sitting here at my desk in a new house, listening to my children, I have a…

Oddments
Today is another busy one. So I’m just going to throw a few things here I think you all might be interested in. I know I was, but that doesn’t always translate! So this morning I’m excited to see that Alton Brown is planning a new show, a follow-on to Good Eats. I loved that…

Gone Astray
It’s the first of November. I find myself, on this chilly morning, watching all my friends make plans to write extra hard this month, and I have to make myself write some things down. But those things are the reasons I cannot, absolutely cannot, write fiction this month. I want to. I want to so…

Transitions
After the last week of intense pressure, preceded by a couple of weeks that were nearly at that level, I find myself in transition. It’s not just the loss of pressure – I do have many, many other pressing projects that I must now list, prioritize, and begin to implement. It’s also the loss of…

Placeholder
There will not be an ETWYRT post today. I’m apologizing, because I really thought I’d planned this well enough to work around the big exam today. I didn’t. Life has been a tsunami all week and I won’t know until tomorrow if I have escaped the undertow… so the food will happen Friday, maybe Saturday.…
