I wrote 1,500 or so words today and went back and scrubbed/edited chapter 46 of Okuda! – My science fiction assassin story based upon the character Lucy Okuda invented by Gavin Revitt. I’ve also started the last two chapters. I tend to do that when I get to the end. I pre-write the key sequence... Read more of this blog post »

Hello People,

Happy Saturday and how's the weather? Cooling down here finally!

I was recently mailed this poem and told it was in one of my mother's books. It was printed out on color paper and it looked as if the poem had been clipped and photocopied onto the paper.  I made this photo art for t... Read more of this blog post »

Această postare vine târziu, știu, dar mi-a luat ceva timp să-mi aleg lecturile preferate din 2016 - chiar dacă suntem aproape de finele anului și articolul (sau filmulețul) cu preferatele lui 2017 este pe drum. În anul ce a trecut am citit destule cărți , dar nu mă pot lăuda cu faptul că le-am... Read more of this blog post »

Do you ever feel as if just getting out of bed is hard?  I remember the first time I felt that way.  I was a teenager, and my parents had divorced (not to mention their fighting).  I couldn't bring myself to go to school, so I stayed in bed all day, watching old movies.  I talked about doing bad...

Merope is written POC in Receiver of Many. I would want to see a woman of color as Merope in the show.

Endless Love, the sequel to Undying Love, has gotten an amazing reaction from betas. Here’s what they’ve said:

–OMG! I believe Endless Love is your best work to date. I have no words to describe how much I absolutely loved Ryan and Willow’s story.

-WOW! What an intense and crazy ride…An amazing s...

No, Hallockville is not my new Facebook group—but, hey, that’s a good idea. It is a real museum farm that once belonged to my distant ancestors. Hallock is not my legal last name, but it was my middle name (before I married). It came to me from my paternal grandmother because it was her maiden na...

Beatriz Sánchez, candidata presidencial, se negó a participar en un programa periodístico de Canal 13 simplemente porque yo soy uno de los seis miembros del programa. Según ella, un país “decente” no puede tener en la TV a quien fue ministro en el régimen militar. De paso, por el mismo expediente...

I‘ve finally put The Ikessar Falcon into its first reader’s hands, after weeks of hammering the first draft out into something readable. We still have a long way to go–I’m going through it again on my phone for minor nitpicky edits (which is essentially the fourth editing pass this manuscript has...

God the Internet wears me out. Times like these I'm grateful for being coy and keeping personal things under wraps. The removal from reality that the internet gives people really taps into people's psychopathic tendencies, especially those of insecure people, for whom the internet is the one outl...

En ole nähnyt parempaa kuvateosta Lapista kuin tämä Matti Melan aivan uusi ”Pohjoinen maisema” (ISBN 978-952-93-8594-2).

My weekly roundup of history and archaeology: season report from a Cyprus Bronze Age site, zero's earliest showing, a Viking sword, ancient copper smelting, technology and Homer.

This episode’s guest is Michael Alig, a man who is among many other things a club promoter, artist and hopefully one day memoir writer (should his money-plagued friend deign to help him out soon.) We talk about fame, the New York club scene and why celebrities are the new venereal disease?

I was listening to a tech-savvy commentator on the radio yesterday. Listeners call him and ask questions about why there is a glitch in their particular...device. Stuff like that. Now I learned MONTHS ago (really, it's been that long) that a device could be anything from an iPhone to an iPad... Read more of this blog post »

Opäť som sa pokúsila nahliadnuť medzi žánre, ktoré by som mohla v tejto rubrike spracovať. Až ma prekvapuje, že tento konkrétny žáner som doteraz obchádzala. Je totiž jeden z mojich najobľúbenejších. Mám preň istú slabosť, nakoľko mám rada fantasy a zároveň som beznádejná romantička. Paranormáln... Read more of this blog post »

After the sun would go down, I’d hear them out there, back by the shed, shrieking their twisted warbling cries out there in the night, followed by squeals of whatever prey they’d managed to hunt down.

Στο καινούργιο Twin Peaks έχει κάτι πραγματικά τρομαχτικούς δαίμονες. Δεν είναι οι κλασικές θηριωδίες με τα κέρατα και τα φτερά και τις διχαλωτές γλώσσες. Αυτά είναι πλέον συνηθισμένα. Οι δαίμονες στο Twin Peaks έχουν κάτι το τρομερά εξώκοσμο, απάνθρωπο, και εξωπραγματικό. Είναι σαν να τους βλέπ...

It was a must. So we began our search with Janesville. It isn't very far as the crow flies, but apparently there weren't any crows around when they laid out these roads. I'm sure the smattering of lakes around this area didn't help. So we wound our way and entered Janesville from the south. The... Read more of this blog post »

Children go through stages of development - and so do religious/spiritual folks.
