Today, we’ve got a guest post from my friend Connie Cockrell, who is sharing how she got started writing. Enjoy! I started writing in November, 2011. In mid-October, 2011, my daughter, Elizabeth, had just come home from her friends house and was all excited about an on-line event called National Novel Writing Month. This young …

Radio silence wasn’t intentional
Posted on May 21, 2023
Sorry, folks, last weekend got away from me, and this week I was in the office for the DayJob(tm), so I let things go a bit. But here’s a bit of an update, just so I don’t break my schedule too much: So yeah, it’s a bit boring, but I’m working on it. Next weekend …
Malagentian Test Kitchen
Posted on May 7, 2023
This weekend, I went out to an SCA event, the Malagentian Test Kitchen up in Maine. The picture above is one of my best friends Sine and I in the glorious sunshine. Sine and her husband Kythe actually introduced Argus and I, so we’ve been friends for a long time. This was a fun, low-key …
Updates and other things
Posted on April 30, 2023
I know, it’s been a while. I’m actually coming out of a pretty dark time, but I’m working with a therapist and on medication and have been diagnosed with ADHD (I know, finally, right??), so the future is looking – well, it’s brighter than it’s been in a while, even if it’s still pretty dim. …
No independence today
Posted on July 4, 2022
I’m feeling evil right now, because as a uterus owner in America, this is NOT my Independence Day (fuck you, Supreme Court, and the right wing). So instead of “celebrating,” I’m writing ghost stories and enjoying iced tea at a lovely coffee/tea shop in my hometown (shoutout to Brothers’ Cortado!). I went up to Pittsburgh, …
(writing/personal) Finding Time to Finish
Posted on April 16, 2019
Today is PG Holyfield’s birthday. It’s also a day that I’m at my day job, the day after taxes were due, and I’m reading my newest Writer’s Digest on my breaks. I adore Writer’s Digest. I read through them eagerly and there’s usually a lot of good information in them. Today, though, one article hits …
A return to (hopefully) normalacy (personal/spiritual/writing)
Posted on August 26, 2018
It’s been an interesting couple of weeks, and it’s kind of thrown me for a loop, which is why I haven’t been posting. Another death (and goddess, how I hate typing those words) disrupted everything. I re-set myself a bit by doing some coifs to help out a friend and sent them off, and by …
Weekly news round-up, the slightly late edition
Posted on July 22, 2018
So yeah, it’s been a few weeks. First I had an eye infection, complete with an ulcerated cornea, which meant absolutely no screen time. Then I went away to GNEW and was busy taking down my pavilion and driving home, so there was no posting. I meant to do it Monday, but I woke up …
Weekly news roundup – The Remicade week in review
Posted on June 24, 2018
This week was a bit of this and that, but this seems to be a good headline for this post for the nonce. My week got thrown for a bit of a loop because I needed to do some hard things this week, but I did them, and I’m very proud of myself for …
