So. Here's the thing. I've decided I'm a famous writer in a parallel universe. If this real world isn't going to read my work, then my world will. Right? Of course. Prove me wrong. So, I've got a new blog, Famous in Parallel Universe. You could subscribe or leave my parallel self a comment. Some …

Warning: Blog Pit–Watch Your Step
Once you start on your blog journey, there's pressure to travel that blog path forever. I mean, what is the destination anyway? For a while, I'm taking another path. Soon I'm going to start another blog--a writing blog with a sci-fi twist. A time-wimey twist in fact. Hmmm. This blog pit seems bigger on the …
Pick the Right Baby
The agent wasn't taken with the pages I sent from my manuscript The Labyrinth House. I rewrote them, but they still work for her. The agent was willing to read a few pages of The Blue Jar, and she liked those pages enough to ask for more. I've sent more, and I'm now waiting. I …
Maybe Keep Going
This may be the end. Well, of the whole National Blog Post Month is over for me. Whew. I tried this a couple of years ago and it may be a couple more years hence before I do it again. Maybe! You never know. In the meantime, I'll be hanging out at the roller rink …
No Maybe about This Baby
I may be excited. No. Definitely. I have story and my art published over at Scheherezade's Bequest! Please take a look. The online journal has lots of great stories and links. Wahoo! And as always, I'm putting up some of my other stories over at The Imaginary Lake. Thanks to everyone who has encouraged and …
Maybe You Should Fret
Maybe I fret too much. Sure. Fret. Sounds like a knot to me. A knot I can't possibly undo. If no one says anything about my stories, I think the stories are bad. Or at least failures. Or boring. Or something generally not nice. If someone says something nice, I think awesome and OMG I'll …
Maybe You’re a Winner!
I may be jumping up and down in a panic. There is going to be a contest over at Story-a-Day. An author is going to judge stories written for the challenge----one story per writer. So, you know I'm staring at what I've written wondering which story to choose. It isn't life or death or anything...but …
Maybe Not Everywhere
This may be a lame excuse, but I'm in Waco. Waco! And I've got to be at a roller rink tomorrow morning and the next at 5 am. These are the joys of being a mom to a speed skater. I have trouble writing in hotel rooms. I can write in my home, in cafes, …
Maybe Not What You Thought
Maybe I'm not as neurotic as I think I am. I like to think I exaggerate. That is what writers do, right? Anyway, my bosses bought some of my art and put it up in the school. This semester I happen not to have any classes in that corner of the school, but it is …
Maybe Epic
This may be meaningless to you, but did you know that today was the 34th birthday of Star Wars? I was nine. I saw it in an old theater with balconies. I went with my dad, his second wife, and her youngest daughter. My father and I loved it. My step-sister thought it was okay--but …
