Glass Block published tonight!
Hi guys! I've not been around much, but given it all started here, I thought I'd end an era by posting about Glass Block and it's publication ( Read more... ) -
Does anyone still hang out here?
Just checking if it's worth putting this place on my updates list for news etc? -
Glass Block
It occurs to me that not everyone on here has my facebook, or even sees everything I post.
So, I thought I'd show this off because it's just too cool not to plaster everywhere.

And the positive
As my friends only post just outlined, I'm not reading LJ right now. I probably won't be back for a long time - I've got a lot of life stuff on that needs my attention - such as my new business, my kids, my degree, and my books. And yeah, they prioritize over friends right now. I'm not one for general sweeping statements, because I have to ( Read more... ) -
Deep breath
You know, I post here a lot, and then, most of the time, I don’t come back and read what I’ve posted.
Recently, I asked my VA to stop working with me - paid her notice and let her go. And then…forgot to lock her off of my blogs. So I came back last week to find ads for her company splashed throughout my blogs.

It *was* going to be a newsletter, but I figured that doing that would ( Read more... ) -
Adverts that annoy me and why that’s important

And then the ‘Brains’ from the Thunderbirds dancing one for Drench, which was a bottled water, and caused a lot of conversation between our friends.

A Day in the Life
Last night, in the ‘writechat’ ( http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23writechat) we were talking about a lot of different things - creativity and inspiration (which I’m going to post about tomorrow), productivity and more.
One of the comments I made was that my day runs on a split shift - that I take the kids to school, do around an hour of chores (more ( Read more... ) -
Chattering into the void
I’ve been blogging since somewhere late in 2002. I’ve been through Ujournal, onto Livejournal (which I still use to this day), and then here, but I’ve always felt like I was chattering into the void.
Others refer to it as looking into the void - ‘if you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back’ (paraphrased, Friedrich Nietzsche) and eventually it ( Read more... )
