Soundtrack Monday: Perry, in Love
Yesterday, the iTunes algorithm kept trying to force Pink Martini’s Amado Mio on me until I broke down and listened to it. Now, I love Pink Martini with the flame of a thousand suns… but so did Perry from the Kismet series. The first bars of Let’s Never Stop Falling in Love send a chill ...
Flamethrower and Swan
I’m in a Mood today. It might be leftover from last week, which was full of non-optimal stuff; it might be the weather, it might just be generalized anxiety. I’ll decide after coffee and a run. At least I got all my Sunday housecleaning chores sorted, and I have a list of things to get ...

Old, Protective Friend
An old, old friend–the last time I regularly wore this particular ring, I was writing Jill. It was part of a set of armor–moonstone, bloodstone, amber, silver–I wore daily for years. I still have all those rings, but I’ve shifted to mostly plain silver now–just as much armor, and won’t leave distinguishing marks if I ...

Doctor Sleep, Meet Siouxsie
I’ve completed a website redesign! How do you guys like the new look? Also, there’s a new giveaway; I should just do a dedicated giveaways page, shouldn’t I. I spent a restless night, falling into the deep well of sleep late. Maybe it was watching Doctor Sleep that did it–I bounced off the book pretty ...

Perspective and Rescue
Good morning! I woke up with Hall & Oates singing about your kiss is on my list, and whichever one of you gave me that earworm, I will have my revenge. Ahem. Yesterday was super productive, mostly because I got a run in. I just work better when I can pound the pavement, for however …

Soundtrack Monday: Helena Beat
I listened to a lot of Foster the People while writing what I call the Human Tales, which the publisher insisted on tagging Tales of Beauty and Madness. (But the covers were beautiful; it’s a shame the books didn’t sell very well. Teen readers liked them, adults did some pearl-clutching, you know the drill.) Foster …
No Snow, But Hope
I was told snow was in the offing, but it ended up being a nonevent. If any did fall, it was gone by the time I hauled myself wearing from my Monday morning bed. At least I got some good rest over the weekend, for once. I tossed out my to-do list on Saturday, which …

Frabjous Day
I got a lovely new pen from Levenger to celebrate finishing the deep revise of HOOD‘s Season Two. Scarlet ink, a wide nib… I just had to Jabberwocky. It’s been a long week full of all sorts of interesting things. And just think, in a few days, we get to do it all again. The …

Maintenance and Morning
So last night, while I was doing some site maintenance, a plugin choked and tossed about twenty old, old posts–from 2017–into the blog-subscription-queue. I’m so sorry about that, guys–I hate getting my inbox snowed under, and I can only imagine how much you guys do. I apologize; that plugin has been told to go sit …

Minor Malfunction
Sorry, guys. WordPress had a minor malfunction, and some old posts ended up in your inboxes. I apologize for that; I hate having my inbox snowed under like you do. *headdesk* It’s been a day, and we all could have done without this. Again, my apologies. I’m gonna go hide in a corner now.
