How To Edit A Tattoo
Reblogged from mishaburnett: No, I wasn't really trying to edit my tattoo--I like what it says. And, no, I wasn't trying to end it all.

SPAM! And a contest….
There are always a lot of comments floating around about spam email, and even spam comments – especially for those of us who blog. Some, of course, are patently ridiculous, such as the so-called Nigerian scams, and no thinking person would fall for those promises. Obviously some do, since the spammers keep at it, but [...]

Writers, why does everything need to be a series?
Reblogged from The Musings & Artful Blunders of Scott D. Southard: Like a seed, a book idea begins small. So very small. Maybe it is a flash of an image, or maybe it is a question that needs to be answered. Whatever the case, it grows and grows until finally a novel emerges fully grown. [...]

Four Letter Words - Paige's Story Continues (and is judged by a harsh editor)
Reblogged from Charlotte Howard: Poor Paige. She has been through the mill a bit hasn't she? And unfortunately, anyone who was hoping for an easy 'happily ever after' in Four Letter Words is going to be left disappointed. I'm not giving anything away, but it would be a bit of a rubbish story if Paige [...]

Because of those experiences, I have been exposed to a wide variety of people; people from all sorts of backgrounds, from all walks of life and with all [...]
