  • The 100 Books Project: Results Not Typical.

    “She had tried everything–Weight Watchers, Atkins, Jenny Craig, speed–but none of them worked…” Results Not Typical by Catherine Ryan Howard One of the greatest things about getting my Kindle Fire is the fact that I can now, very easily (and rather cheaply, ahem) pick up the books by the authors I admire whose blogs I…

  • RoW80 Update: January 29th!

    “‘I should have remembered the first rule of hunting,’ he said, so low he may as well have been whispering in Auferrix’s ear. The tone was content and amused, which made her stomach twist with revulsion. ‘If one wishes to be successful in capturing his prey, one cannot do better than to catch her oneself.’”…

  • RoW80 Update: January 25th!

    “Lookie here.” There was a grin lurking deep in the shadows of his helmet. “I caught myself a little snake.” But snakes were known to bite. Thanks to a coworker with a bad rash (another consequence of which was my inability to keep from making jokes about herpes), I wound up without my usual Monday…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 22nd!

    There was another sound, this time from the man who owned the burning inferno around them. She thought it was an expression of pain at first, but then she recognized it as a sob. Shaking and sobbing beside her, dampening her shoulder and making her feel utterly helpless. This man had almost died and now…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 18th!

    “‘They do know that old dynasties did use the caves out here for coffers,” Hederrick offered, though he looked extremely reluctant to do so. His eyes, like Jaxson’s, were steady on the cave and he swallowed hard as if already picturing the possible treasures within. ‘It’s possible we might find something there.’” Well, fellow RoWers…

  • RoW80 Check-in: January 11th.

    The soft voice, the privacy of the question, and the fact that Taluin had tried to brush the hair out of his eyes all made Locke smile a little. ‘Yes,’ he said quietly, followed by a few more coughs, ‘I’m fine.’” It’s hard to believe we’re practically halfway through January already, especially since the weather…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 8th!

    “A voice rose up over the howling wind; another voice responded. Locke could make out neither of them, which he hoped meant that no one could hear his small whimper.” One always hears about how quickly New Years Resolutions wind up getting broken, usually within the first weeks of setting them, and I’m sad to…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 4th.

    Ahhh, all is right in the world. A new Round has begun at A Round of Words in 80 Days, which means it’s time for a Wednesday check-in! It just seems right and proper, having a check-in on Wednesdays again. I don’t think I’ve fully gotten back into the “regular world” mindset of the post-holiday…

  • The 100 Books Project: 2011 Edition, Final Results!

    As many of you who follow my blog know, I’ve been engaged in a project to read 100 books in one year. I’ve tried this project a few times, have never succeeded, and keep coming back for more. My best number so far is 77 books from January 1st to December 31st. I’m pretty sure…

  • RoW80 Goals!

    Yesterday, I talked about my goals for the year in general; today, we narrow our focus a little bit to a mere slice of the year, the next Round of Words in 80 Days, which starts today and runs through March 22nd, just two days before my birthday. So, clearly, there will need to be…
