Yesterday I added a new page to the site (the tab above labeled “Books”). I had several reasons for creating it: 1) I wanted an easy way of recommending books. 2) I need to keep track of the ones I read so I’ll know if I meet my goal of 65 books in 2009. 3) [...]

Christmas Frolics
Posted in Writing, tagged Christmas, family on December 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This week I mainly accomplished Christmas-y things, like opening/giving presents and breaking my personal record for the number of Christmas cookies I can eat in one day. The big party yesterday was a success, and today we are iced in with a chance to recoup. Maybe Son will finally take a nap after days of [...]
New Year’s Resolutions
Posted in Writing on December 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m a bit late in posting today. Vannah, Vicki, and I stayed up late last night watching dance movies (WOOT!) and enjoyed a lazy morning. Plus we exchanged presents, and they gave me THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins (!!!), which I’ve been dying to read and nearly bought during my last trip to Borders’. [...]
Snow Frolics

Another busy week, full of Christmasy goodness, visitors, and snow! Jill stayed with us Sunday through Tuesday, so I was able to finish most of my Christmas shopping on Monday. Dan’s visiting tonight and tomorrow, Russ might stop by tomorrow, and Vannah and Vicki are planning to come on Monday! Son and I have been [...]
Gifts for Writers

I had planned on discussing writer’s block today, but Fangs, Fur, & Fey just posted a similar topic. Hard act to follow, and I’d feel like I was ripping them off (since no one else in the history of the world has ever talked about writer’s block). Besides, I’m just not in the mood to [...]
Book Frolics

This was a strange week. Better than last week, but still busy and kind of crazy. Maybe that’s just December. I did finally get some Christmas shopping done, and I sent out most of my Christmas cards. I’m feeling somewhat overwhelmed by weddings, birthdays, and people visiting—which are all wonderful things, of course. I finally [...]
How Writers Read
Posted in Book Reviews, Editing, tagged contests, Neil Gaiman, reading on December 9, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I don’t remember exactly when it started… maybe two years ago, maybe more. But I wasn’t completely aware of it until this year, after I’d finished the first draft of my novel. And then I realized that reading books was no longer fun, but work. Don’t get me wrong—I still love to read. I’d [...]
Auction Frolics
Posted in Research, Writing, tagged auctions, Christmas, fanfiction, Research on December 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
If you read last week’s posts, you know that I offered to write Twilight fanfiction for the SupportStacie charity auction. They raised a total of $5613.61! The lovely Marcy bought my offer, so I need to start writing the 2500-word story (Marcy, any requests, beyond a post-BREAKING DAWN Christmas story?). I’ll probably end up rereading [...]
