I've been on Facebook, as some of you know, because life hit the Fast Forward button and it's a venue for the having of small ideas. I've also attempted to manage a blog to promote my writing, meaning it as a place for the airing of bigger ideas, but guess how often I post there? Yeah. That's about the size of it ( Read more... )

I'm trying to decide if the current state of weirdness is just Mommy brain and stress or an actual Something. More accurately, I have gone to a neurologist and have a "headache diary" and am supposed to keep a food diary. Since one of the main complaints I had was an inability to organize or plan, the neurologist did apologize for having to make me ( Read more... )

"Write About Dogs!" indeed -- I finally did.  There is now a book called Homeschool Your Puppy available at Lulu and reviewable at Goodreads.  Now that's out, maybe I can get my butt back to writing fiction like a sensible person ( Read more... )

I turned on the computer to clean a zillion photos off the two digital cameras; my son is turning into quite the little photographer, but even his loving mother does not need 4,000 experiments in composition on a shot of his own foot.  Some of his efforts, though, are quite good, and I try to tell him so.  He is three now, using all sorts of big ( Read more... )

Random stuff #1: A big public Thank You to Gina and Julie! Sleeper and shirts and The Poky Little Puppy, O my! The note with the sleeper expressed a hope we didn't have too many dog-themed everythings, and there's no such thing as far as keeping the little fellow dressed is concerned, but the funny part is his Gran had nearly bought him the same ( Read more... )

I have put illustrations in the study guide.  Now it is 46 pages.  I have also been promised feedback and suggestions for where needs more what very soon now.  Since I can no longer actually read it, it's just letters on a page, this will help ( Read more... )

As most of you have already heard, I've been furiously writing a study guide on the history of science this past week.  It's due "The 15th" about which I'd felt very little ambiguity until the boss-man started off an email with "Well, I'm in Hong Kong now..."  So, time to keep cranking away, in case I need to have it done on his fifteenth instead ( Read more... )
