We Write!
Writer's block isn't real. Well, then, what do I have here? I have a very small world, is what. My world right now is job, home, wrangle with teen (he's been 16 for a month, and the surly switch flipped), talk to my husband on the phone, and... and big old mental blank. My world...

I enjoy reading Kristine Kathryn Rusch's business blog posts, when I have the chance. They aren't always pertinent to me, and are often quite lengthy, but worth following.

I should probably give up even trying to write. The difference is, in earlier times there were constraints that forced... Continue Reading →
I'm writing this rather late, and I am afraid it may be short, as well. I'd apologize, but the projects at hand yesterday were lengthy and pressing. Besides, they gave me the idea for this post. Yesterday I spent from about 9 am to 5:30 pm at school. The last four hours of that was... Continue Reading →
I'm back. I didn't mean to take two weeks off from blogging, but that's what it ended up being. It's not that I haven't written anything in two weeks, just that what I have written was for a class. I feel like I am coming up from deep water at the moment. I came home... Continue Reading →
