I really hate to cuss. I reckon I already got off to a bad start with this article then, especially as a Christian author, but I’m angry. Bullies have been picking on one of my sisters for being shy, and I don’t like it. Really, I hate it. If I could go tell all those snot-nosed bullies off, like...

They ran. The Gnolls of Liscor fled the Raskghar camp as Snatcher fought the Raskghar. Mrsha could hear Ceria shouting, hear the screams and snarls. But it was the howl that filled her. The Gnolls howled as they ran into the tunnels, fleeing. Some of the Raskghar gave chase, but the Gnolls ran. T...

人们很容易沉迷于游戏，却很难成迷于学习。许多人都尝试拿起吉他，又屡次放弃，因为乐理，和弦，每一个学起来都不容易。但是每次看到会弹吉他的人弹奏自己喜欢的歌曲时，又觉得他们很帅，也想和他们一样可以弹奏自己喜欢的歌曲。所以每次经过音乐中心，都会看看里面的乐器，想买一支来学习。

经过几次的挣扎，就在那天，你下定决心买了心爱的吉他，然后照着自己幻想好的SOP去学习。哪里知道学习弹吉他不是和想象那样，每天练习1小时就可以学成的，因为你可能不知道原来弹吉他手指还会疼的。说好的每天1小时，变成了一天半小时，再变成了一天练一下和旋，最后被自己“工...

Claiming King Arthur lived in one’s postal code is a frequent pursuit. But claiming descent from Arthur has always been a trickier issue, because he is not said to have any surviving children. Or did he?

Even in the fifteenth century, lawyers were mucking things up. The three decade-l...

Okie doke. So, I ran a giveaway a few weeks ago for a copy of Slander & Steel and two pairs of bookmarks (3 winners total), and almost all of the entry options were sharing my Kickstarter giveaway, because I don’t currently have the money I need to get Slander & Steel professionally edite...

I have made no claims that I am rich, famous, popular, or that I am a psychologist, psychiatrist, or anything of the sort. I am a dress maker who has gone crazy or psychic (depending on your perspective and beliefs) and who is, in spirit, linked to superstars and celebrities of all kinds of varia...

Or rather, how many books can Sally possibly read before the end of December.

Picking just ten books that stood out for me over the past twelve months was harder than I thought it would be, and involved a lot of last-minute reading to ensure I managed to finish as many as I could. So I didn’t stic...

It is easy to misunderstand Romania and its wine industry.

Romania is a very old culture but a surprisingly young nation-state. The Great Unification of 1918 finally brought all the historical provinces together under one roof a hundred years ago, an act that Romanians celebrated on December 1,...

Music is so much more to me than anything I can write in a silly blog post. And it is deeply wedded to my love for and immersion in the holiday season, mostly the Christmas season. (Though a South Park Hanukkah song does make the cut.)

This is nothing new, but music stirs my emotio...

It’s that time of year again!

This is my second time doing Blogmas and I am so so excited! I’m going to do it a little differently this year. Instead of the full 31 days of December, I’m going to be doing from the first to the 25th.

Keep an eye out for some wonderful heartwarming romances, maybe...

I missed this topic when it originally posted for Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). So since this week was a free topic, I thought I’d take the time to go back to it–after all, as someone who’s read a lot of epic fantasy, it would just be wrong not to participate.

I fully expect...

The Reos team hosted an end of year conversation with old and new colleagues, clients and friends. The intention was to mark the end of the year by reflecting on “successes and failures” of 2018, and to turn these reflections into learnings for new experiments.

We met for a few hours over breakfas...

“Anyway,” the dragon continued, “the gold is all gone.”
It looked at Orum’s spear. “Or have you come for fame, not riches?”#AdvenTale 10/25

◇拍拖的吵吵嚷嚷是短暫的，是種情趣；結了婚，吵吵嚷嚷是一輩子事，並不甜美。

◇最欣賞是談得來的女人，有幽默感，喜歡旅行的女人。若一個人一生中有五次大戀愛，是一件很幸福的事，幸福的事，不管成功與否。

I can’t think of another 2018 film I’ve been looking forward to more than The Favourite , which pairs three actress I really like – Olivia Colman (whom I loved in Broadchurch), Rachel Weisz (very good in this year’s Disobedience), and Emma Stone (I mean … duh) – with Yorgos Lanthimos, the directo...

Hi there

One of the many wonderful things about midlife is how much you now know! I am constantly telling my kids that they should listen to my advice because I am very wise. Of course, they just laugh at me and do things their own way, exactly as I did when I was their age. But that’s okay becaus...

Stimata si aproape iubita doamna,

1.Eu cred ca ati vrut sa intrabti de fapt: “se alapteaza in prost?”, nu in post.

Daca da, raspunsul la intrebare este NU! Cand sunteti in prost, nu este bine sa alaptati, din motive de zgalataia si de bun-simt.

2.Daca totusi e vorba de “alaptatul in Post” si credeti...

Dear Students

Here are some attendance drawings by classmates in my Indie Studies Group.

We drew ourselves on an index card as a bad jaZz musician then we passed the cards and copied our clasamates drawings onto a stage so we could all be in the band!

This is a new fictional novel I have just published under my new pen name Seiji Singh. This is actually my first name but I haven’t used it in decades. I found an old photo of me bent over a table writing a book when I was around 12 years old and I went by the name of Seiji…it spoke...

Para trincármelo he tenido que cumplir casi cincuenta, tropezar con Chefe Paniego del palaciego Echaurren de Ezcaray, confiarle el vino para una comida con amigos y tener la folla de que nos descorche esta golosina elaborada por Javier Arizcuren, ¡manda huevos!

Nunca es tarde si la “picha” es bue...
