Post-Vacation Update
Finally, my post vacation update! Yes – I skipped posting anything while I was on vacation except for my FM Blog Tour post. But I was busy. I was busy working on IC and cleaning my house. I’m happy to report that my house is much cleaner than it was pre-vacation. But I also realize that to thoroughly clean, I’d…

My World Does Not Revolve Around You
This post is, in fact, for an ex-friend who thought my post Shove Your Drama was about her. Clearly she didn’t see THIS POST that was actually meant for her that I posted earlier this year after several long and meandering visits to my websites, and, through the grape vine — lots of paranoia that I was allegedly cursing her and…

Were-Cats…In Space!!
A pink and yellow spotted unicorn looks at me from across the desk. “So as a writer you probably get a lot of writing questions.” I nod. “That’s true.” The audience laughs. “Well how about we don’t talk about your latest bestselling book, Werewolves on the Edge.” She lifts my latest tome up so the camera can get a good…

Vacation Goodness (and More Plants)
So Monday starts my two week excursion to begin eliminating some of the clutter around the house. I am also installing two new aeroponic gardens! Merry Yule to me (early)! 🙂 I have every intention of growing more tomatoes and peppers and trying some beans and peas. We’ll see. I’m strange like that. I’m also considering magickal plants in the smaller garden once…

Problems With A Free Market & No Government
I guess I find most Libertarians too idealistic and naive. They really make the assumption that all people are good and honest and have good intentions at heart. Even when it comes to big corporations whose only concern is their bottom line and their share of the market. I am going to propose that MOST people are self-serving, manipulative and…

Snowflakes
It’s been a bit chilly here in Denver the past few weeks. We’ve already had a couple of light snows and we’re expecting a little bit of snow this coming week. Back when I was a kid, I remember making “snow houses” with my sister and cousin. We’d play outside for hours and it never bothered us. We had a…

Shove Your Drama
The topic of online drama has come up a lot in the past week. Young people I know (my niece and a young friend who is a witch) are allowing what people say “online” to effect them. Others are being baited by people who are overly dramatic and being pulled into nonsensical bullshit. Others still have found themselves victims of the…

Low Light Plants
I was looking through the house earlier this week and I’ve made a few observations about our house. It really lacks light. There is a two or three foot overhang around our entire house, along with East and West facing windows. What does this mean? It means that houseplants are a real bitch to grow in our house. So I’ve…

Anne O'Connell, Audrey Brice, business of writing, domestic goddess, S. Connolly, S. J. Reisner, the writing life
I could get used to this…
I have had a little taste, in the last few weeks, what it’s like to have a little more time at home to work on my writing. I really think this is going to work out well for me. I get a lot done and I get to spend a little more time with DH which is always a plus. Self-motivation…

Really?
There are days it doesn’t pay to gnaw through the leather straps, my friends. (Some of you know exactly what I mean!) Today was one of those busy, productive, and yet challenging days. First off, I woke up early, made coffee, had breakfast, and even got some writing in before skipping off to work. I stopped and got gas in the…
