Drop Dead Diva – or How Josh Berman Could Be My Hero
I’ve been a “larger” woman my whole life (my spurt of being a single digit size didn’t last very long and mentally never made the whole shift to “thin” body image). Beside the point. I have read some of the “plus size romances” and wanted to scream. Seriously, one of my favorite methods of mythical [...]
When Articles Write Themselves
I both love and hate when a blog article “writes itself”. I just posted this week’s StrangeWords article. It was a no brainer to write up a quick article on the passing of Locus Magazine co-founder, publisher, and editor – Charles N. Brown – even though I’d never met the man. He was still very [...]
Dude! If There was EVER A Reason to Support Fan-Run Conventions…
This has suddenly popped up on Live Journal and other places. And though I believe it, I’m stunned. It started with this article on How Much is Too Much? Apparently Patrick Stewart is charging $200 to have your picture taken with him. No apparent word on how much it’s going to be to get an [...]

Yesterday was our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. WOO HOO!!! And we’d started a minor tradition of getting art for our house for our anniversary [...]

Back to It
I still haven’t done my ApolloCon report. It was a good convention – a productive convention. Had some interesting conversations with people that’s taking a bit more time than anticipated to get going again. That’s what happens when you have a Holiday Weekend just when you’re getting your life back in order from a convention. [...]
Keeping It Professional – Again
My StrangeWords article is up here This week it’s a redux of professionalism and not being a jerk in public. You see, as writers, creative professionals, and artists, we seem to think that everything is ALL. ABOUT. US. Guess what? They’re not! And ready for the next cold slap of the clue-by-four? If said creative [...]
