Fluffy?!
Okay, maybe a little. I like fluffy kittens and soft puppies. I’m a sucker for fluffy bunnies, too. They’re so adorable with their flippity-flop ears and foofball tails. Who doesn’t like fluffy? True – true. I don’t call myself: “ScaryEvil666SatanicWitchSorceressDarkPriestessofLeviathan”, but I sometimes go by the moniker “Adrianna” because that’s been my magickal nickname since the late 80’s. Of course…

Firsts
I remember when I made my first semi-pro short story sale. It was A Sorcerer By Any Other Name and I sold it to a small zine called Sorcerous Magazine back in 1996. I later sold the same story to Alexandria Digital Literature. That seems to be how it goes with my short fiction. It always ends up a reprint…

The Narcissistic Writer
I have heard people (jealous haters) accuse writers (me included) of being narcissistic. Not in the sense that we lack empathy, can’t keep meaningful relationships, or that we’re using others for our own gain. No, rather we’re often labeled narcissistic for talking about ourselves, our books, and our accomplishments a lot, for being selfish with our time and our focus, or…

Constructive vs. Everything Else
From Amazon reviews to author criticisms in forums – negative, destructive criticism happens. It sometimes even happens in critique groups. A few weeks back, I told a woman that her blog post about an author was exceedingly negative. Imagine my surprise when the blog author argued with me and told me her post was constructive criticism. The post berated the author…

#edcmooc The Trouble With MOOCs
I was very disappointed yesterday when I learned one of the MOOCs I’m taking was cancelled due to student comprehension problems and, let’s be frank, the technologically impaired. Yes, I am simply saying how I feel. I can do that here. I have never seen so many people unable to use a simple spreadsheet. I have never run across so…
