Pardon My Dust

Posted in blog | Tagged , | Leave a comment
Sorry to everyone who’s subscribed to my RSS feeds  – I’m in the middle of migrating a ton of old posts from my Blogger site and it’s making a lot of old posts look new. I’m going to stop at the moment to start working on my revisions, but I had wanted to see how hard it would be to update. And it’s not difficult, but it is going to be a bit of a slog to fix a lot of the tags – for some reason all my Blogger labels got turned into WordPress categories instead of tags, so…yeah. Means a lot of manual fixing later on. But I’ll get there. In the meantime, apologies again.… Read more

Pulling the Trigger

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | Leave a comment
In a manner of speaking. But yes, I’m going to go ahead and merge this site with my Blogger site and then solely blog from here. I’ll keep the Blogger site up for archiving purposes and because I’ve got a ton of things linked to it and feeds and all the rest of it (though I’m going to try to retire it as gracefully as I can.) I will be importing the majority of that site into this one – it’s going to be a bit kludgy, I suspect and there will probably be some double posts (simply because I have done some cross-posting to both.) Just bear with me while I mess with it over the next while or so. But basically, it’s just getting too difficult to run both sites, and my official site tends to miss out on a lot of things simply because I’m not maintaining… Read more

Word-Whore Thursday: What Makes Me Laugh

Posted in blog, word-whores | Leave a comment
I’m over at Word Whores today for my usual Thursday post. Today it’s all about the websites I go to find my jollies – and the usual suspects are there, Tumblr among them. Still thinking more seriously about shutting this site down and blogging from one place, but I’m trying to determine a graceful way of doing that – e.g., do I attempt to import this blog into that one or just keep this one around as an archive? Eh. Pros and cons either way, I guess.   Might create a test site this weekend and see how a blogger import into wordpress goes – if it gets too complicated, this might answer itself.… Read more

Womanthology: Space

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 2 Comments
Say what you will about my comments on wanting to write a retelling of The Little Mermaid with pansexual robots – but that particular tagline just nabbed me a spot in IDW’s upcoming Womanthology: Space #5 (5 issues with 3 stories each – I’m so freaking flattered and excited I was chosen.) And by nabbed, I meant the artist who picked me was intrigued by the concept. The artist in question is the super talented Chrissie Zullo, btw. Does that mean we’re writing it? I don’t know yet. The overall theme is Space, and Issue #5 has a sub-theme of Comet, so somewhere along the way, the story has to have *something* to do with a comet. So we shall see. But on a more serious note, I have been following along with the Womanthology concept for quite a while – I was a Kickstarter backer the moment I heard about… Read more

Combine and Condense

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 2 Comments
It occurs to me from time to time that I may be spreading myself a tad too thin. Not even counting the usual writing stuff – the day job, the kids, whatever. But from a social networking standpoint, I’m beginning to suspect it’s time for a reworking of sorts. I blog on my unofficial blog pretty much every day (except Sundays.) And I have my official author blog here too, but I only blog once in a while (and x-blog at the other one at the same time – usually authorly type things. You know. As opposed to unicorns humping dolphins.) But I also blog once a week at Word Whores. And once a month at The League of Reluctant Adults. And I have my tumblr (which I update pretty much all the time because it’s easy.) And then I have my Sad Sausage Dogs tumblr. And website/blog – which… Read more
