We all joke about riches we're meant to have... Well, my great-great grandma Chrysler contractually refused an inheritance, for her as well as her progeny. In a different universe, I have relatives who are less inclined to stand up for their beliefs, and a shiny silver spoon in my mouth! I just found out the Chrysler family harkens from Germany, ( Read more... )

Hiya my Livejournal friends! I have created an account on livejournal for Maniphisto where I will include my blog entries from my main site. I hope you will follow me there! Especially if your main weapon of choice *is* Livejournal. I'll be posting on there so much more than my primary account, so that's the best way to see what I'm up to!

Hello Awesome Friends,

I want to share something with you. My new manifesto, and a dream I am making reality.

I’ve been a big cheerleader for the dreams of others. I help people honor their voice and bring it into the world. Now I want to walk the walk.

The project? Creating my long-simmering graphic novel starring a young girl (Kaitlyn) and her ( Read more... )

But I will remain silent awhile longer. There are exciting things in the works. A new/old project is finally going to launch. I feel like I am stepping into a new universe ( Read more... )

Food wasn't spectacular, but thirdworld and I had a nice, relaxing couple of hours drinking coffee, chatting, and people watching as we are wont to do. On the way to the restaurant we ran into a couple of Drupal/Portland friends who were ( Read more... )

Wow, I've been gone awhile. Grant and I have been mired in the effort to finish up the Meyer Memorial Trust web site, which we were working on closely with his colleagues for the last several months. The last few weeks have been an ordeal requiring nose to the grindstone of epic proportions. We both learned a lot along the way and pulled off some ( Read more... )

The lovely thirdworld gave me a very helpful crit on a revised story last night. Was hoping to do some work on it this morning, but I must soon rush off to a morning meeting and begin what will likely be a very busy day. But no worries... This afternoon is the writing social and I should be able to get it all done while there. I am eager to finally send it ( Read more... )

A friend's house was broken into the other day, and I am pretty sure, upon reflection, that a guy who put something in our mailbox this morning was casing our house. I didn't take it out until this evening, but it was one sheet torn out of a Costco brochure. Ahem ( Read more... )

I have a lot of old stuff to finish up. When I re-engaged in my writing journey, I had two unfinished stories sitting on my hard drive and one that needed revision. After I finished with the first draft of one unfinished piece, I picked up the one that needed edits. I find myself re-visiting that one nearly every day. Now don't get me wrong... I ( Read more... )
