I’ve been seeing the Thursday Thirteens popping up on blogs everywhere, and even a few Tuesday Tens. I’ve been dying to join in, but I don’t always have time to do much blog-hopping, and that kind of defeats all the fun of it. Still, I thought I’d do a little list anyway, and […]

The other night, I was helping SoundGuy update his resume.
Okay, I’m being kind. I wasn’t updating anything. I was trying to pull the damned thing together. From notes he’d scribbled down on scrap paper while at work.

Let’s review my past few days.
I submitted IH Friday and promptly wanted to hurl. Saturday and Sunday, MiniMe had a soccer tournament about a 45 minute drive away. Two games Saturday — they tied the first game, won the second. They had a third game on Sunday, but MiniMe woke up and […]

Especially in this case.
Yes, the blog layout is slightly different. Call it tweaked. Call it improved. Call it whatever you want, but I’m finally calling it finished. At least for the next few days or so … not so sure I like how the date is displayed on this layout.
We’ll see. […]

From The Official Rob Ashton Website:
It is with a very heavy heart that I must let everyone know that my dear friend Rob Ashton died August 26, 2007, from complications due to an extended illness. I know he will be sorely missed by so many.

To celebrate (1) popping my submission cherry (to be crass); and (2) my kids finally going back to school, I’ve updated my website with a whole new look. I’m also trying out a matching layout for the blog. I’ve tested both as extensively as I could in Firefox and IE without going live, […]

It happened a bit later than I’d originally intended, but late last night, I finally managed to submit IH.
You know how you usually have to experience something in order to really understand it? I finally understand that sick-to-the-stomach feeling many writers talk about after they’ve submitted.
After a full night’s sleep, I still feel like […]

Open House today.
First day of school tomorrow.
Thank God.

IH didn’t get submitted yesterday. I’m hoping to get it sent today. I’ll take the blame for the delay, but it really wasn’t all my fault. Some of it, I blame on our mailman.
Well, technically, mailperson.
If she hadn’t left two particular letters in my mailbox, I wouldn’t have been totally wigged and […]

I’m down to the wire. Today’s the day I wanted to submit IH, and I still have reading to do. So, instead of typing up a well thought-out post, I’m reading my ms.
In the meantime, I leave you this video for your entertainment. I’d just read a line in IH about an […]

So the gala’s done. It was a lovely event, and much larger than I expected it to be. It was held at the Georgia World Congress Center, and I read they were expecting approximately 1,400 people at $175 per ticket. I had the opportunity to stand above the event early on (the […]

Edits are finally done — I completed my last one at 12:51am. If I weren’t so damned tired, I’d be happy butt wiggling all over the place.
Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to do anything today. As soon as I finish the post, I’m off to start getting ready for this evening.
Tomorrow, […]

I’ve just upgraded my WordPress installation to version 2.2.2. Please let me know if you run into any problems.

Despite the Rocky Horror moment I’m getting from the post title, this entry has nothing to do with deliciously campy fun. Or transvestites — sweet or otherwise.
Nope, this is writing. Because I’m close enough to the end of the tunnel that I can see a light. Larger than a pinprick, smaller than […]
