  • RoW80 Check-In: October 9th, 2011.

    “ ‘Some hooligan,’ he said, loftily, making himself sound more offended by such events than he actually was, ‘decided to pick a fight with me, merely on the grounds o fmy having been in his way.

  • Bright and Shiny Newness.

    This morning, something very exciting and momentous occurred. I unplugged my laptop from its previous spot in the living room downstairs, marched up three flights of stairs into our new second floor apartment, and set it down in the table in our bright kitchen, sunlight pouring in through the wide windows, and did all my…

  • This Web is World Wide.

    Something very fascinating and very cool happened to me last week that, in the midst of moving and RoW80, I haven’t had a chance to really write about yet, and so I’m finally doing so now. When I’m out of ideas for something to write, I’ll usual scour quote pages for good writer quotes to…

    “A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts.” “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau Walden has always been high on my list of Books to Read, especially after I had a chance to visit Walden Pond a few years ago and was struck by…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 5th.

    “Carefully, slowly, he stood, knowing that the world would spin crazily around him when he did. He sucked in a breath to keep himself afloat in the swirling vertigo and counted to ten. He opened his eyes and exhaled. He was dizzy, nauseous, and he’d started to sweat, but he was standing and ready to…

  • Author Quotes: Jute.

    “Good novels are not written, they are rewritten. Great novels are diamonds mined from layered rewrites.” -Andre Jute. This morning, while I was struggling to think of something to write in this blog today, I was also struggling with the words I had written yesterday for the 6 Month Challenge.

  • 6 Month Challenge – Begin!

    It’s October 1st, everyone, and you know what that means! Or, rather, you know what that means if you’ve been reading up on my lately or happen to be reading Sue Healy’s blog, too (if you’re not…you should!). About a week ago, Sue put out that she was going to challenge herself to write a…

  • Getting Your Head in the Game.

    I have not had a very successful last few days. Some things in my life have been a little screwy, and the stress inherent in those things have prevented me from dedicating myself to my craft in the way I had intended. But that’s okay. Life happens, and then you just pick your ambitions back…

  • How Inspiring!

    As I stand on the precipice of the great cliff of my handful of upcoming writing challenges, I’ve been thinking an awful lot about inspiration lately. Mostly on how I haven’t got much of it (at the moment) and how I know that often changes, but what exactly changes that? What happens to cause inspiration…
