The Critique Part Deux

I first want to thank all the bloggers that pointed out a missing detail from my last blog. As Jack Flash summed it up - "You should never overestimate a critique". In my last blog, I mentioned showing my friend a story I wrote and her reaction. To be fair, she wasn't as vicious as it appeared. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes I'm Still Hanging Around!!

Recently I finished a short story and was about ready to send it off to a publication when a friend of mine offered to read it for me. I emailed it to her, and decided to hold off the submission, confident that she would have nothing but good things to say about it. I had rewritten it a few times,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Fabulous Networking Tool

Tigerprincess has snapped out of whatever the heck it was, and on my journey back I discovered myspace. Granted it's not the most reputable site in the world, but it's a lot of fun. Tonight I actually found one of my old high school friends that I lost touch with. So check out myspace and if you... Sign in to see full entry.

Should Auld Aquaintance Be Forgot?

At least I think those are the words, and it's a song that's synounymous with New Year's Eve. Where did the year go? I have to say it was better than 2004, so I hope 2006 turns out to be the best year of my life. In the spirit of the New Year, I pose this question. How many resolutions are too many?...

Becoming Bigger

As some of you know, this past summer I spent the better part blissfully working for a local theater as an administrative assistant. While there, I learned their playwrites came from local talent (namely my boss at the time, and the head director), and came up with a script I knew would fit... Sign in to see full entry.

The Questions You Should Never Ask Around the Holidays

I've found a few questions that you should never ask around the holidays so in the spirit of sharing: Are you ready for the holidays? The answer for this is always NO. At least in my universe it is. So I've devised the perfect answer: I have to go shopping and becuase I'm too tired to go shopping I... Sign in to see full entry.

The Acid Test

My evil computer at work strikes again. Once again my disk has gone screwey and my novel would be ruined were it not for the backup I made last time, and my friend, BadCopy. Going through all this trouble makes me wonder what the destiny of my novel truly is. I don't believe in accidents (unless... Sign in to see full entry.

FIrst Aid for A Bad Novel

Just a week ago, I had what is as close as I've ever come to a breakdown. My novels been floating along, doing famously, when tradgedy struck. I slipped my trusty floppy into my computer at work....and......nothing. It's saying the path is broken. No problem I think. I'll simply try it at home... Sign in to see full entry.

Breaking Outside Your Comfort Zone

Tonight is a big night for me. Well, actually not really. In a normal season it would be, but lately my fiercest competition sucks so I'm really not battening down the hatches or reinforcing lineups as I normally would. The game I speak of is Fantasy Football. I know, I know, the connotations... Sign in to see full entry.

Reality Run Amuck

After the end of anothr week of reality, I have to wonder what's in the water, or rather what is the problem with Mark Brunette. For those of you that don't pay attention to that kind of thing Mark Brunette is THE king of all reigning reality shows (except Starting Over). On Wednesday, I'm one of... Sign in to see full entry.
