It Really Does Matter Where You Put The Desk
You may, or may not, remember that I had a wee bit of an issue deciding where to put my desk. Although the Palatial Horvath Estate is indeed grand, there are a limited number of desk locations. As I said in my original post, it shouldn’t matter where the desk is, logically speaking. After all, [...]

Classical Music, Muppet Style
Because I a) love classical music, b) love the Muppets and c) don’t have a blog post prepared for today, I thought I would share some of my favorite YouTube clips in which the Muppets perform some pieces of classical music in their own muppety style. First: An Ode to Joy as you’ve never heard [...]

Dear Internet
Dear Internet - Okay, you and I have to talk. Or not talk, as the case may be. I mean, you know I love you, but this is getting ridiculous. You are just way too attractive for your own good. Or my good. Whatever. We’re going to have to start setting some boundaries in our [...]

Another Ode To Coffee
*stir, stir, stir* *clink, clink* *sip* Hello, Coffee. Hi. I’ve written another poem about you. Is it as good as the last one? Even better. Yay. *huh hummm* O Coffee, O Coffee, My own turtledove, I want to express The depth of my love. O Coffee, O Coffee, Caffiene in a cup, When [...]

Endings
As you may have guessed from the pain the Muse experienced on Sunday, I’ve been working on the ending for my current book. You wouldn’t think the end would be a problem in a romance novel. After all, in a romance the man and the woman get together. Period. And yes, that’s the case. But the [...]

The Muse Gives Birth
*pant pant pant* OWWWWW! *pant pant pant* Muse! Muse! *Betsy runs into the post* I have your ice chips. *offers cup* Take your ice chips and put ‘em where the sun don’t shine! *pant pant pant* I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The contractions are getting closer, aren’t they? What the hell do you think? Okay. *Betsy [...]

Suddenly
I hate – absolutely HATE – when I know what I want to do, I know what I need to do, I even know HOW to go about doing what I want and need to do, and yet…and yet…I don’t do it. For example. I know that I need to eat better. I know that [...]

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
I really love this poem. Let’s just say that it resonates with me on a whole lot of levels. So, because I have failed to prepare a blog post for this evening, I invite you to enjoy “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” by the incandescent Maya Angelou. And as we move into [...]

What Else Would I Do?
Sometimes I wonder why I write. Usually I wonder after I’ve spent several hours at my desk and can hardly move when I get up. Or when my arms ache so much from working on the computer that I just want to cry. Why am I writing? Will I still do it if I never [...]

Branding Ms. Betsy
I’m so glad you’ve agreed to meet with me today, Blogosphere. I didn’t have much choice. You kept googling me. Yes, well, *hum* I wanted to reach out to you and get your thoughts on how I can build my author brand. I envision this as an informal brainstorming session, if you will. I think [...]
