A word on Literary Agents and Publishing

My publisher and I had a great chat the other day, and he had some interesting comments on agents, mainly that they're not all they've cracked up to be. I was astounded. Surely having an agent would give you a leg up in the world? You could skip the dreaded slush pile, and get right in with the... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections of a Writer

The new year is fast approaching, and I find myself in a very reflective state of mind today, especially where my writing in concerned. With publication plans well under way, I suppose it's only natural for me to be considering the past, and how I got started on this path. And, of course, I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Goodbye Tree!

The tree is coming down today. I've had it with the messy needles, and having to chase the cat out from under it every 10 minutes. Mark wants to keep it up until the New Year. But I don't want to start the year off with such a messy house. He's gone out to do some running around - when he gets back,... Sign in to see full entry.

The gift that tells me where to go, and how to get there

I'll admit, I was a bit disappointed when I looked under the tree, and saw only small boxes. There was no way Mark had managed to cram a bread maker into any of them. So it was with great trepidation that I began peeling paper off the first gift. My husband doesn't have the best track record with... Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas is Upon us!

I've got a pretty busy week coming up, with family engagements and lots of turkey to eat, and I may not have much time for blogging *sob*! So I'll take the time now, to say "thanks": Thanks for reading. Thanks for all the great comments. Thanks for all the fantastic writing - for making me laugh out... Sign in to see full entry.

Life as a Hermit

Okay, so I'm not quite a hermit. It actually really annoys me when people use that term. I'm also not a "crazy cat lady"! I only have one cat, and I'm not crazy (most of the time...). Get ready bloggers - you're about to get a crash course on anxiety disorders! I am agoraphobic. I was diagnosed... Sign in to see full entry.

Clean-up in Produce - Man attacked by Cucumber!

I went grocery shopping yesterday. And I have to tell you, I'm starting to think maybe I have a target taped to my back! It seems like every time I go to the store, it's an adventure - and usually not a very pleasant one! Yesterday, it was an overly polite man. I was roaming through the pet section,...

Shopping Consultant for the desperate procrastinator!

Amy is my bestest friend in the whole world. I've known her since the second grade, and we were practically inseparable for 12+ years. Life changes, and people go in different directions. I got married and settled down, something that she wasn't quite ready to do. I don't see her all that often... Sign in to see full entry.

Transmission Troubles

Mark's truck has been having some mechanical issues lately, which is nothing unexpected. It's an older truck, prone to the odd malfunction. This was a big one though - the transmission crapped out last week, and he hasn't been able to drive it since. It's not the end of the world, since I have a... Sign in to see full entry.

Morning in Sira's house

I woke up happy today. It was about 7:00am, still dark outside. I could see the streetlight through the bedroom window, its soft orange light reflecting off the layer of freshly fallen snow, casting a rosy glow across the room. I could hear the scrape of cold metal hitting concrete. Someone was... Sign in to see full entry.
