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.

Cherry Tree, Lesson
There’s a cherry tree down the street who doesn’t know it’s still January. It has drawn its fleecy robe out of storage and shrugged into it, branch-fingers stretching out of the sleeves, the dryad inside blinking hazily. I keep telling her to wait, to be sure, to be safe, that there could be a cold …

Soundtrack Monday: Chrysalis Heart
There were a lot of songs on the Incorruptible playlist. (I am now hearing Pete Puma say “a whoooooole lotta lumps.”) But pride of place for that particular book has got to be taken by Delerium’s Chrysalis Heart. I listen to a lot of Delerium while writing. Sometimes it’s just background, but other times a …
While They Stay
The weekend was… busy. The neighbor’s beloved Big Cat–more properly a dog in a feline body, one of the few cats I’ve ever met whose fuzzy belly is not a trap–came down late Saturday night with what we’re almost sure is saddle thrombosis. The vet at the animal hospital agrees, so now it’s just keeping …

Yeggs
For various reasons, I never used to like my eggs any other way than scrambled. Fortunately, though, I’m now forty-mumblemumble years old and have cultivated the habit of trying things I never liked every once in a while just to be sure. And I’ve found out that fried eggs with salt and pepper, their yolks …
