Running out the door to a movie with the Husband of Awesome, so real quick… Picture is another from Scotland, an old gravestone at an old abbey in Coldingham. There’s more to the story… but perhaps later. The set is tentatively titled “Momento Mori.” Remember, the poem is super rough draft, and also please do… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 6

National Poetry Month, April 5
Not that I figured I’d get far in any poetry journey without a faery poem, but in going through the pictures I’ve taken and am using for inspiration, there’s no less than three that are titled “Faery ________.” If you’ve known me or been following me for some time, I’m sure you’re shocked. Completely and… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 5
National Poetry Month, April 3 and 4
I was offline yesterday doing stuff and making yummy food for the Husband-of-Awesome’s Birthday. I DID pick and do a lot of cursing at Photoshop for yesterday’s picture on Tuesday. (I’m a superduper n00b on Photoshop, so the cursing is expected). I particularly chose that picture because Scott pointed the scene out to me while… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 3 and 4
Arisia Schedule!
I love doing conventions, and I’m always really thrilled to return to the Arisia family each year! And look… I am actually remembering to post my schedule so people can find me! During hours I’m not on panels or giving workshops, there is an excellent chance you will find me at the Broad Universe table… Continue reading Arisia Schedule!
A Story of Bunny Ends
I’ve been a bunny mom for more than half my life. Vash the Stampede, named by Scott for how noisy his thumps and binkies were as a baby, was the most recent. He and his brother, Cameron, who passed over three years ago, were the fourth and fifth bunnies I’ve had my life. As anyone… Continue reading A Story of Bunny Ends
“Controlling” Emotions
I’m at a Broad Universe writers retreat this weekend with a bunch of friends, among them the fabulous Rona Gofstein, who also writes as Rachel Kenley. And in my all-important “procrastination before writing” time, where I was glancing through Facebook, I saw her recent blog post, “Emotions Don’t Need to Be Controlled.” I gave a… Continue reading “Controlling” Emotions
Surgery Prep
It’s been over a year since my last blog post that was part of #HoldOntoTheLight… This one probably could be too, but I just want to get it out there because I’m going into surgery tomorrow and I’ve been procrastinating on writing it for a while. The surgery is fairly minor, though I do get… Continue reading Surgery Prep
I’ve never wanted to end my life… #holdontothelight, #alwayskeepfighting, #akf, #mentalwellness
I’ve never wanted to end my life. I’ve been sad, angry, lethargic, overwhelmed to the point of being unable to get out of bed. I would never use “depressed,” though, to describe how I felt. Part of it, I’m sure, is stigma. Another part, however, is knowing my friends who have been depressed – clinically… Continue reading I’ve never wanted to end my life… #holdontothelight, #alwayskeepfighting, #akf, #mentalwellness
Back in the Saddle #WriterlyWednesday #BabySteps
I’m Blogging Again… I’ve written and re-written my “Hey, look, my blog is alive again” post so many times it’s sickening. I’ve revised some of my published short stories fewer times. Why is this post so hard? It’s not more personal than what I pour into my fiction nor what I give to the authors… Continue reading Back in the Saddle #WriterlyWednesday #BabySteps
New facet of Chaos, or Katie’s hyperbolic, mythic moving experience
For those wondering why I’ve been even more remiss than usual about regular blog posts, here is the reason – told in the (only slightly edited) words of the cause. A happy cause it is, though. Life is a positive flavor of chaos at Chez Wooldridge. Helloooooo, Katie!! xx Passing the protective daemons… Continue reading New facet of Chaos, or Katie’s hyperbolic, mythic moving experience
