Charlie Sheen references are, apparently, inescapable.







Me: "I have this huge pile of work to do and I just keep attacking it but I don't feel like I'm winning."
Husband: "So, you're saying you've run out of tiger blood?"

Might one of the best indicators that you've really become a writer be when you refer to "my book" and the person you are talking to aks if you mean the book you are reading or the book that you are writing? Because the fact that you are writing a book is high profile enough that people are aware of it on a daily basis ...

The Calm Before the Norm






I just returned from a glorious two week vacation, the longest vacation I've taken in my entire life (unless you count when I was really little and had no clue what was going on). Husband had some use it or lose it vacation time and it turned out to be cheaper to do two weeks in one place then two different vacations spread out so we decided to just go whole hog.

When we first scheduled it, we were afraid it would be too close to Christmas break and that we wouldn't be ready f...

3 Reasons every eBay seller should be automatically leaving positive feedback when payment

BookGem: How I learned to love hands-free reading






Disclaimer: The links in this post are Amazon Associate links because, why not? But I seriously love this product and this review is unsolicited.
