Hello, journal folks. I hope those participating are having a successful (so far) NaNoWriMo ( Read more... )

Wow, hello, journal platform people! It's been almost a year! You can always find me at

I've had a lot of potential clients have issues with pricing this year, and trust me when I tell you that I really get that. I was able to work it out with a lot of them. I'm lucky because now that I have a day job, I can be a lot more flexible about pricing and about payment plans ( Read more... )

It was pointed out to me the other day that I am extremely difficult to buy for. I completely disagree. Just pay a little bit of attention. You can always buy me a book ( Read more... )

My post about the OTW got some weird (to me) reactions. (In fact, I got a bunch of emails from staffers I had worked closely with, all apologizing if they had "made" me quit. NO NO NO, my darlings, no.)

For the last three years, I've been volunteering with the Organization for Transformative Works, and for the past year I've had a seat on the Board of Directors.

Last week, I rather unexpectedly adopted a cat. Back in January, my beloved Shiksa died of a heart attack. I thought to myself, Two cats is enough. But Vincent and Theodore have been rather lost without a third -- without an alpha female bossing them around. And one of my close friends found a post about a DC-area alpha female who needed a home ( Read more... )

This weekend I had the Monday (today) off from my day job, so it's been lazy around these parts. Except not really; I've been reading and crafting all weekend. I wrote a short story as a gift for a friend; I scrubbed the bathroom (buying what is, in fact, the first cleaning supplies for this apartment... after six months of living in it); I cross- ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, I was in NYC visiting my nephew:
