The Sweetness of Surprise

Posted in Connor, pocky, random | 14 Comments
Connor decided to be creative last week. During class, he was supposed to have been working in one of his notebooks, writing about any particular subject. (I think he was allowed to choose his own.) In his case, he wrote all about what the next Star Wars movie would be, since he’s apparently going to write and direct it when he grows up. Which is all very well and good, except that he then proceeded to fill up the remaining pages with drawings of epic Jedi battles. The teacher was not pleased. We were asked to replace the notebook – a task that completely managed to slip my mind over the weekend. So today, I ran out to the local Safeway to see if they had anything in their overpriced office supply aisle. Only the Safeway wasn’t there anymore. Didn’t even realize it until I walked in and discovered that… Read more

The Irony of Success

Posted in rambling, random | 15 Comments
You know, this week has been a bit of a blur. I’m ass-deep in edits again, which is fine, and then I had the added bonus of finding out my book is on Amazon. Which is brilliant. And terribly scary.

Posted in wtf | 5 Comments
Did someone *really* have to write a book about how to live with a Mighty Wang? Yes. Yes they did. And you can buy it, right here. ** I still cannot see any comments on the blog on my two home computers. I find this very ironic. However, I may just can JS-Kit completely if I can’t get it fixed by Monday. Just a heads up if the comments start looking wonky next week.… Read more

Technical Difficulties

Posted in technical difficulties | 4 Comments
If you haven’t noticed, there appears to be an issue with leaving or reading comments. (At least for me – and I tested it on several browsers) I’ve got a support call in with JS Kit, so we’ll see what they do. Thanks for your patience. 🙂 Edited to add: It may just be my settings with JS Kit as moderator – so if you can post, feel free. I’m not ignoring you, I just can’t reply at this time…… Read more

Okay, I crowed all about it last night on Twitter and Facebook anyway, but here it is again. A Brush of Darkness is now available for pre-order on Amazon! No cover picture yet, but that will come in time…and seeing as they just started on it, it might be a few months. Color me grinning from ear-to-ear today. 🙂… Read more
