Post-Con Zombie-ism

Posted on March 31, 2014Leave a comment

In between my propping my eyelids open with copious amounts of caffeine and a pry-bar, I’ve seen an awful lot of people on social-media commenting on the zombie-plague that is affecting those attendees of the Emerald City Comicon. What I Read More…

We All Start Somewhere

Posted on March 24, 2014March 24, 2014Leave a comment

A wonderful bit of humor and…maybe “uuuggh” greeting me this morning as I continued organizing my writing office. (Once I finish it, I’ll post pics. I promise!) Everything in our home is unpacked, but we still have pockets needing organization Read More…

The Emerald City

Posted on March 10, 2014March 9, 2014Leave a comment

I love that Seattle’s nickname is The Emerald City. At one point, it was Queen City, though it has also been the “Gateway to Alaska” (for obvious reasons), “Rain City” (though I think this nickname was probably made to keep Read More…

Flashback Friday: The Dark Crystal

Posted on February 28, 2014January 30, 20193 Comments

(This was supposed to post on Friday, but it looks like a website hiccup prevented that. Sorry for the delay.) Normally, I use Flashback Friday to roll back and review a SF/F work I read when younger, but today I’m Read More…

Nothing more horrific than a muscle spasm

Posted on February 11, 20142 Comments

I didn’t post anything last week. Nothing. Nada. I even missed Flashback Friday. :/ Instead, these two kitties kept me company: I had a perfectly good reason though. In the middle of a combo massive upper respiratory infection & ear Read More…

Wool & Home Improvement

Posted on January 27, 2014October 10, 2014Leave a comment

I’m supposed to do a post today about what I’m currently reading, but honestly, I’ve been fairly swamped in home improvement land and haven’t read as much as I’d like. I began reading Wool by Hugh Howey, but I’ve not Read More…

Flashback Friday…Something Wicked This Way Comes

Posted on January 24, 2014September 16, 20145 Comments

5th Grade. Top of the elementary school ladder and way smarter than I had any right to be, a teacher recommended that I read Something Wicked This Way Comes by science-fiction master, Ray Bradbury. To be honest, my little Nancy-Drew-and-Hardy-Boy-loving-self Read More…

Creative Altruism

Posted on January 20, 2014January 28, 2014Leave a comment

Today, many schools, businesses, and government agencies are closed in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Sadly, I still hear many people debate the necessity of such a day, as if all prejudice were gone from the world. If prejudice Read More…

Flashback Friday…Dragonflight

Posted on January 10, 2014September 16, 201410 Comments

I’ve decided that in honor of all the Throwback Thursday things people have been doing online, I’m going to begin a Flashback Friday post where I review a novel I read back when I was a child. Sort of a Read More…

2014…such lofty goals I have!

Posted on January 3, 2014January 28, 20143 Comments

I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. Neither does science for that matter! There are a few things you can do to succeed at your resolutions, but I prefer to set goals. The difference in setting goals is that I Read More…
