Tuesday Tirade: The Perils of Spring

"That's why I sleep until summer." Spring. If you live where you have snow during the winter, then you know that once it starts to melt, you are in for a treat if you are a pedestrian or a cyclist. I try to cycle on the road as much as possible, but if it is … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: The Perils of Spring

Music Monday: Songs you might want to hear – Little May

There is a radio show on CBC here in Canada that occasionally does a feature called SYNTH: Songs You Need To Hear. Now, I can't say to someone, "You'll like this song" (or book for that matter) because I can't presume that others will share my taste in music (or books), so it is safer … Continue reading Music Monday: Songs you might want to hear – Little May

Weekend Wrap-up April 16: Ricky Gervais / NaPoWriMo Highlights

Ricky Gervais. You either like his humor or you don't. Gervais doesn't give a s#!t what he says. I was first introduced to him (not personally) with the show "The Office". It was funny, rude, it made you uncomfortable, and it made you cringe, and at the end, cry. You learned to love the characters … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up April 16: Ricky Gervais / NaPoWriMo Highlights

Free Book Friday April 15: In Conversation with N.T. Narbutovskih

I recently removed my free poetry book from the Amazon catalogue. I haven't looked at it for a while, and I forgot that I had written my own testimonials. Like my self-interviews, I found them quite amusing, so I thought I would share them. There’s fake news, now there’s fake testimonials:Read what people are not … Continue reading Free Book Friday April 15: In Conversation with N.T. Narbutovskih

Weird Wednesday: Let it snow, let it sno —Wait. What?/Cartoons

Much of the snow has—I mean had melted. I took the studded tires of my bike. The shovel that was broken from the record amount of snow we received this winter was making its way to the shed. Now we brace for a winter (spring?) storm that is supposed to be that worst in 30 … Continue reading Weird Wednesday: Let it snow, let it sno —Wait. What?/Cartoons

Invitation: Multi-genre Newsletter Swap Group — Writing to be Read

I do things the hard way. Always have. I can’t seem to help it. I follow my heart instead of my head. But, once I chose a path, I am determined and stick to it. And when it comes to authoring, I bypass the easy path and stick to the rougher roads, learning as I […]Invitation: … Continue reading Invitation: Multi-genre Newsletter Swap Group — Writing to be Read

Tuesday Tidbits: NaPoWriMo catch-up

"You woke me up for this?" Inspiration often hits when you are not looking for it. I spent some time at my parent's place, in the middle of nowhere some might say, but I think it is in the middle of somewhere wonderful, on a lake, surrounded by trees, with no neighbors. There was still … Continue reading Tuesday Tidbits: NaPoWriMo catch-up
