And it was a booger. I understood that August was going to suck, for me. I just didn’t realize how much it was going to suck. It will be two years at the end of this month that my mom passed away. No, I’m still not over it. And that’s all I’m going to say [...]
There’s always something happening in the writerly world of Nettaland, and I really should be spanked for not blogging regularly. I could promise to be better about that, but I hate breaking promises. The shards are sharp and really hurt when you step on them. Anyway, here’s the hodge-podge of what’s currently on the table: [...]
It’s been awhile, I know. Already it’s been one of those years, and we’re not even halfway done yet. Oye. I do want to bring your attention to two past posts of mine — It Can Happen To You and An Update On Writershire(dot)com. By all accounts, this company is mighty shady at best and [...]

Today is the National “The Princess Bride” Status Day on Facebook. Since TPB is one of my favorite movies of All Time, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share with you some of the life lessons I’ve learned from this oh-so-excellent movie. 1. “Life is pain, Highness.

It’s hard for me to be wordless. Oh, I have my moments, but they are few and far between. It’s a blessing and a curse, as anyone who has spent any time with me knows. Heh. **** A potpourri of sorts, today. – I am very sad to read of the death of Captain Phil [...]

You may remember this post from a company I did business with this past summer. I have been remiss in updating the full story, and for that I apologize. Let’s catch up, shall we? On October 14th, almost two months after the project was completed, I received a payment from an unknown (to me) source. [...]

I have been having technical difficulties with the website lately, and nothing but the run-around trying to get it resolved. This makes me cranky. Couple that with a Monday and a decreased caffeine intake, and what do you have? Ohhhh, it’s not pretty. However, we shall persevere. I have been neck-deep in non-fic work, and [...]
And, it’s a cold one! Frigid, even. Holy moly, these single digits are killa. Makes it difficult for the brain cells to fire. I realize I have taken a hiatus from blogging, tweeting, and general internet stuff, and most of that was not on purpose. Oh, you have your usual holiday issues, then some health [...]
