OKay, so some days it’s necessary that nothing exciting happen. I had an edit, I’m behind on a deadline– you get the picture. So today was one of those days when a bunch of nothing added up to a pretty decent day–I’ll give you the highlights and we’ll call it a night. *  Was debating… Read More

So I was taking Big T home after he came over and did laundry, and as usual, he used the time to tell me how his life is going. The conversation went like this: Big T: *general discussion about making friends through a gaming server* Me: That’s nice, honey! You’ve done fun stuff with these… Read More

Here is the transcript of Suzanne Brockman’s 2018 RWA Lifetime Achievement award acceptance speech. You don’t have to read it now–but trust me. It’ll be important. Okay– so those of you who have followed me since the beginning are aware that my “look” has changed. Yes, older, and very much fatter, for one thing, but… Read More

I love Mate madly. I do. But I’m not sure I can fully impart to him the mental exhaustion of someone who does work in their pajamas suddenly subjected to ALL THE AWESOME PEOPLE for five and a half days. I know when I get off the plane, I’m usually a babbling mess, and if… Read More

One of the notable things about Shakespeare’s Macbeth is that the minute Macbeth dedicates himself to… Read More

Okay, so I don’t need more yarn.  That’s a total and complete lie. I’ve been packing my knitting for the trip. Now, about three weeks ago I agreed with myself that, really, I only needed a couple of balls of sock yarn to work on as socks, and a couple of balls of sock yarn… Read More
