…And We’re Busy

New job, new stuff to do. I’m busy getting organized, gathering resources, and bombarding people with questions.
Don’t laugh. You could be next, you know. :feint:
In other news, Dragon Spell has reverted to its parent name, Lyrical Press. For an explanation of the change, please click here.

A Little John Williams, If You Please

*cues the Editor’s — er, Emperor’s March*
Yes, yes it’s true. I’ve turned to the dark side.
I’m kidding, of course. All I’ve really done is accepted an editing position with Dragon Spell Publishing. Switching hats from writer to editor has been something I’ve wanted to do forever, and I’m ridiculously excited to join their crew.
To answer [...]

Tuesday Miscellany

WordPress alerted me to a blog ping from the new Dragon Spell Publishing Blog. I didn’t realize they had one yet, so time-out to say best of luck to everyone there, and I’ll be :cheer:ing for you.
Also, Child #1 thanks everyone for their congratulations. DH and I are still trying to figure out where she [...]

Who Needs Spellcheck?

Okay, so the big event yesterday was the district spelling bee.
Which, I might add was won by MY DAUGHTER :tyty: :lurve: :cheer:
I’m so proud I could just die.

Only In Minnesota

It was twenty-five below zero when I put the kids on the bus this morning. I love this state, yet still wonder sometimes why anyone would live here on purpose. :drama:
Global warming? If only. Hopefully it’ll warm up by about fifty degrees before I have to go out today. And I do have to go [...]

*sigh*

I’m sure I’m not alone in my rather melancholy state today. Brad Renfro, now Heath…
Searching hard for a silver lining, I’ve come up with something: At least they knocked Britney off the news for a few minutes.
It’s not much, I know. But I tried.
Have a good one.

TGIF

I don’t know what happened to this week. Every day, I’ve had something or other going on, but yesterday…
It started out at 6:30, getting the kids up and shoving them out the door so I could get my galleys sent in, finally. I was done by 8:30, and then it was time to write.
Now, I [...]

Thirteen Reasons You Ain’t Goin’ To LA

If your costume makes the baby Jesus cry, you ain’t goin’ to LA.

If the short-bus driver still has a restraining order against you, you ain’t goin’ to LA.

If only prostitutes “love your voice long time”, you ain’t goin’ to LA.

If we have a hard time determining your gender, you [...]

My Eyes! My Eyes!

Idol premiere highlights:
“Hey, isn’t that Jerod from the Subway commercials? Damn, he can sang.”
“Meh. She’s good, but backup singers were so last year.”
“Someone call an endocrinologist for those people. Honestly.”
“Oh my God, I love the Spanish language dude!”
“Someday, someone’s gonna bring their dog in for a fleabath and run screaming.” (psycho Alexis of the glitter [...]

Annoyed Now

My everybody’s-back-at-school joyjoy didn’t last long. First, I went down with the flu, then two of the kids, and now all three are home today with it.
Naturally, this has put a crimp in the writing plans, so I decided I’d read instead.
Big mistake. I came across a wall-banger, and now you get to listen to [...]
