New View Rag
There have always been times in my life that only poetry could touch, let alone attempt to describe. This is one of them. My Girl I gaze at the woman, Her soft hair cascading, A sable screen lit with gold Small mouth tugging on her breast, And all I can see is the Wide-eyed toddler, … Continue reading »

Nanny Rhino?
So I was supposed to post yesterday, per the new blogging schedule. (Twice a week, by the way. Me Monday and Cheri Friday) Then my sister went and had a baby. And we were all up for like forty eight hours strait. Because she was in labor FOREVER. And mom yelled at a nurse. It … Continue reading »

Refocused Block
Occasionally, (meaning inevitably, regardless of what path you are currently on) it becomes necessary to reassess. You adjust, add, move, rearrange, delete or do something less, or more, often.

Interrupted Take
Ok. I hate to admit it, but I’m still not finished with The Alien Files by John Crowdell. This is in no way his fault. The book is great. I have just gotten snowed under between work and the FWA Writer’s conference we attended this weekend. I’m sorry. I wish I could say it won’t … Continue reading »

Conference Kid Rag
Today I’m super excited because I’m coming to you from the Florida Writer’s Conference in Lake Mary! It’s 9:00, so the day is over, but I thought I’d offer a little insight on a topic that I only today became an expert on. How to Survive a Conference with a Newborn. That’s right.

Past, Present and Future Take
Past: I recently read J.D. Robb’s book Calculated in Death and the strangest thing happened. I was disappointed. The In Death series is one of my favorites. Eve Dallas is a super-heroine and her fantastically sexy Irish hunk of a husband is as charming as he is rich. The pair has never failed to entertain and amuse. Considering … Continue reading »
