In Which I’m A Good Book Pimp
The one fun/odd thing that happened this weekend… after Jimmy and I went out for sushi with LA Williams and our friend, Scharba, we all headed over to Barnes and Noble. There was a young, professional woman in the SF/F aisle, browsing. We were talking about some books and covers – Jimmy and I – [...]
CONGRATULATIONS!
D.Waller just won the long-forgotten, not really well-done contest of “Make the Theme Hopping STOP!” A Loooonnnngggg time ago I mentioned I had about 5 themes that I would randomly change to until somebody(ies) said, “Hey! But I liked…!” That just happened. Tah dah… we’re sticking with the “girlie” one. I’ll come up with some [...]
Permission to Write Crap
There are days where you’re putting words on paper and you *know* just *know* they’re crap. And there’s not a darned thing you can do about it – except not put words on paper – which is RARELY an option. As writers, we have to put words on paper (physical or screen). If we wait [...]
No Accounting…
No, not a money post. A… “Well, okay, then” post. Back in February, I helped punch up a Murder Mystery Dinner script for my church (yes, I dig my church for having a sense of humor), which then led to a “We need…” thing that came through while my dad was in the hospital last [...]
Evil Empire Confirmed
At least on the corporate level. For many, Wal Mart is synonymous “Evil Empire”, this should make you at least snicker. When I heard it on CBS11 (KVTV) this morning, Scott Sams (my most favorite morning anchor EVAR) almost had me choking on my toothpaste. So I had to go find confirmation. I found it [...]
Vista Question
Anyone out there actually experience a way to fix the problem with the file transfer issue in Vista? I’m transferring 1.7 GB of information from my hard drive to my flash drive and it’s currently sitting at 9 hours. I’ve seen the Elventy Bajillion posts and boards about this issue. It wasn’t fixed with SP1 [...]
A Picture of Us By Me
I learned the “secret” behind taking a decent picture of oneself (and loved ones) with a digital camera… The upper angle is a trick of photography first taught to me by Claudia Christian, and reiterated this weekend. The tiny mirror on the camera was courtesy of my husband… Aren’t we cute?
Where Do You Get Your Ideas?
Because I’ve been out of town this past weekend, and traveling on Monday – my week was out of whack, so when I realized it was Wednesday, I kinda panicked on my StrangeWords Article. Plot Bunnies are always my fall back. Where Do You Get Your Ideas? (or, a Plot Bunny Revisited) article. Hopefully it’s [...]
A Plug for A Friend
My good friend Nicole is an awesome jewelry designer and artist. Her company, Spacial Anomaly, has an Etsy Shop for Spacial Anomaly Gallery which currently has some fantastic pieces up for sale at really reasonable prices. She’ll also be putting up some of her artwork soon, so go early and often.
