I heart the History Channel - Mon, 22 Dec 2008
I’ve always enjoyed learning. Remember, I’m the one that as a bored child wouldl read the encyclopedia. Well, yesterday, I was on the floor of the living room, wrapping presents for what seemed like hours. (hey, it really was hours, I’m tellin’ ya.) And there was nothing on tv.

The Light! I See The Light! - Sun, 14 Dec 2008
I recently won a critique of 10 pages of my story by the fab Deb Dixon. The critique was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for better feedback. Why? Are you thinking she waxed poetically over my story? Glamorized how my characters were like living breathing people? Thought my plot was THE BEST STORY of the [...]

   So we’ve almlost made to December. Before long, that great holiday will be here! Like we’ll probably go to sleep tonight and then BAM! Tomorrow is Christmas. So let’s get in the spirit here.

Writers Who Have Influenced Me - Thu, 27 Nov 2008
Today, I sit wondering how to write a Thanksgiving post that doesn’t sound trite. It’s not that I don’t have a great deal for which I need to be thankful; it’s that I have too much and finding the focus is difficult. So, since we talk about books here, I’m going to focus on how I [...]
