Calico Contentment

It’s been a long time since I’ve written about Calico or horses.  How about a Cali post?   Every time I’ve gone to the barn, it’s been a day to celebrate.  Not just because she’s a fabulous horse, but for the crazy weather. Calico is a fan of weather.  Well, maybe not rain, but everything… Continue reading Calico Contentment

Newsie, News, News, News!!

January is more than half over!  I’m doing stuff with Deadlines!   First, this is the LAST WEEK for anyone to sign up to take the fabulous New England Horror Writers Workshop at Annie’s Book Stop in Worcester, MA!    Kristi Petersen Schoonover, TJ May, and I are running an all-day workshop covering the craft… Continue reading Newsie, News, News, News!!

I was not savvy or awake enough to join many of my compatriots in the censorship blackout protest regarding SOPA/PIPA. What I have heard scares me, but I confess to a certain level of ignorance – to much to say anything useful here.

 

So, let me link you to people & resources who do know more than me so you can read what I read and make your own decision to contact your senators and congress representatives.

Fire with Friends

This past Monday, my friend Val came over and shared my annual fire ritual with me.    It was good to share it with someone new.  She added another energy, and we added a few more parts to suit our needs for 2012… I’d organized my papers and things ahead of time, she needed to… Continue reading Fire with Friends

A Resolution to… Party & Promote!

Ok, so, I didn’t finish writing up all my goals in a coherent post. However, I’ve got a convention this weekend!   I love Arisia, and I love being part of this convention, so if aren’t already registered, consider doing so.  It’s a fabulous time!   And, for if/when you are there, here’s how you… Continue reading A Resolution to… Party & Promote!

Happy New Year 2012 – Part 1

Yes, it’s that wonderful time of year again!  Time to evaluate my 2011 goals and move forward with my 2012 plans.   I remember reading in one of the many articles I perused over 2011 that publicly setting goals actually hinders one’s ability to get them done.  The psychology behind that is that the act… Continue reading Happy New Year 2012 – Part 1
