As part of my new year’s resolution, I have a new schedule (as anyone who knows me at all would have already guessed). I get up at 5:00 AM, do a quick 10-minute workout (sometimes Calisthenics and sometimes stretches as instructed by the chiropractor), get dressed, do hair and makeup, grab the lunch my husbandContinueContinue reading “Making Characters Suffer”

An Ear By Any Other Name . . .
I was in Atlanta this week for work – three days with four hour meetings and then networking events. It was delightful for me as an introvert, as I am sure you can well imagine. I may have gotten bored during one or two – okay, three – moments, and I decided it was anContinueContinue reading “An Ear By Any Other Name . . .”
Jobs, Thanksgiving, and NaNo
I was healthy for the first two days of my new job – and then sick for a week and a half. The second week of my job I lost my voice and couldn’t even talk. Is there anything worse than not even being able to answer properly when the director/vice president of your newContinueContinue reading “Jobs, Thanksgiving, and NaNo”
Three Life Facts . . .
. . . that are true for me right now. I got sick my first week at a new job. Like, seriously???? It could only happen to me. Thursday and Friday – sore/swollen throat and lots of congestion. Yesterday – a not very happy cough and today lost my voice as well. Great first impression,ContinueContinue reading “Three Life Facts . . .”

I dedicate this perfect post from BlondeWriteMore to my husband Daniel and entreat my friend who is doing this with me to print it out for her husband as well. :p https://wp.me/p4yGBR-lbB
Updates
So, quite a bit has happened since I last wrote. I can’t believe it has been almost a month. But – I am in a new job! I accepted a position as an analyst at the E-ISAC, which stands for Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center. I’ve been here three days and am learning allContinueContinue reading “Updates”
Short Story Breaks
It’s like they were reading my heart when they posted this. You have been working at the literary coalface for months. Your second draft has taken far longer than you expected. At times working on your second draft has felt more like going to war than embarking on a wonderful journey of creative discovery. YouContinueContinue reading “Short Story Breaks”
Life Update, Friends, and NaNo!
I finished my first ever Master’s class almost a week ago and it has been almost too busy this week to even realize it – yet, when I think about doing this week and adding studies in, I shudder. We are taking a break until January – one, holidays and two, apparently we weren’t quiteContinueContinue reading “Life Update, Friends, and NaNo!”
Life of a Masters Student
I am a little afraid to look at how long it has been since I have posted anything. But I have an excellent excuse. My husband and I just started a masters program! I won’t spend too long on this, since all my friends have already heard my numerous complaints, but it has essentially suckedContinueContinue reading “Life of a Masters Student”
Fairytales and Reality
We were supposed to be booked solid last week between me getting back from Cleveland and a variety of engagements throughout the week, but somehow or another, we managed to get two evenings (mostly) free. It was delightful. Last Tuesday we biked to the library. Daniel doesn’t quite understand the concept of just browsing allContinueContinue reading “Fairytales and Reality”
