My First Interview

A Twitter pal, Sabrina Foreman, asked if she could interview me for her beautiful blog. I said "Hellz yeah!" or something equally as enthusiastic and if you want to check it out, please do. I had a good time answering her questions and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Resolutions 2010

Lemme start by saying emphatically, that in my humble opinion, resolutions are evil. E. Vil.
But unless you're a super-hero or heroine you're going to fall prey to the resolution-making virus that is New Year's Eve. Even if we don't share them, we're going to make them. And sadly, more than likely, we're going to break them.
Here are mine...I liken the feeling to pulling down one's pants and mooning the world.

1. Write more.
2. Publish more.
3. Exercise more. *muttered bitterly under my breath*
4. Make more writing contacts.
5. Improve thy self-esteem. *a constant up-hill, snowy blizzard, barefoot battle*
6. Actually wrote these down and will have to find the paper and return to this blog...

NaNoWriMo 2010

I haz a win.

International Day For The Elimination Of Violence Against Women

Domestic violence is an unfortunate reality. This month, within my family, it became a personal reality.

Don't tolerate abuse. Stand up for those without a voice. Don't judge. Just love.

Celebrate November 25th as a day that should last all year.

Hard Drive Crash of 2010

My hard drive crashed unexpectedly last night. I say unexpectedly like they're ever like, "Oh, pardon me--I'm gonna crash right here. You don't mind do you? You might wanna save your valuable shit before I do. K? Thnx."

I am NOT happy. I backup my writing on a memory stick every so often. But not my pics. I had thousands. Tons of pics I had collected over years and years and years.

Not my music.

Not my purchased e-books and stories. Bought and paid for and gone forever.

I HATE computers right now.

The Blur Of Summer

In June, Texas became the new Fiery Pits Of Hell. Nothing new there.

In July, someone purchased one of my stories. Whoever you are, thank you. :) I appreciate it and hope you enjoyed it.

In August, Husband and I adopted/rescued a kitten. Stormy. She's a cute little shit and I love her. (Pics to come later.)
