I Gnaw, Right?

I feel all sorts of vindicated now.
See, Mel? I’m not the only one.

Things To Do In MN When You’re Not Dead

Okay, so after a not-long-enough sabbatical from all things writing/editing/interwebs related, I’m back briefly to report in.
ISSUE: Bored and Boringability
I’m not bored, really, though I’m starting to get there. Much has gone on at home to keep me away from interwebby things, which is good, because every time I go near Google Reader and see [...]

Dangit, Hulu

One of life’s little mysteries… Why does this make me laugh my head off, even after I’ve seen it 40 times?

Yowza

Remember that whole thing a couple weeks ago about the pickled rhinocerous snot? Well, late last week, that flu’s big brother arrived, seeking revenge. We lost the fight in a most spectacular fashion. I’m still not 100% yet and trying to get caught back up, so the blog got put on the backburner (again).
In other [...]

I’m Not Dead

Really, I’m not. 
I did, however, make a dreadful mistake on Easter. I actually uttered the words, “No one’s had that horrid flu at our house yet.”
You can guess the rest, and I refuse to post when I feel like pickled rhinocerous snot. If I can’t come up with a topic better than “Why naps should [...]

Proof of Life

 
 
 
I felt like giving myself a little reward today, and here it is! Isn’t it made of teh awesome?

Then there’s the need for sleep. It’s [...]

The words chuckle, grin and nod (or any conjugation thereof) may not be used more than once per book. Less than once, if possible.
Why, you ask? Well, writers, please open your ms file and use the find feature to show how many times you’ve used those words. Add them up to get the actual [...]

Celebrating

Woo hoo! The LPI House Style Tip Sheet, Second Edition has just been released. I never, ever want to see it again, and for now, I’m celebrating.
Well, sort of. I’ve no idea how to celebrate such a…excruciatingly boring milestone. Rockband? Chocolate? Line edits? Massive zombie kills? 
Anyway, that’s what’s been eating up all my blog time [...]

One Year Ago Today…

It’s my one year anniversary with Lyrical Press today, and since I haven’t done a Thursday 13 in a while and I’m rather one-track-mind on the “Things I Learned This Weekend” bit, I’m doing a special anniversary 13 Things I Learned This Year to celebrate.

I learned that reflowable text is a great thing. Terrible…but great.
I [...]
