Writer’s Plank

I don't have writer's block in the classic sense of the term.  For most people, writer's block implies not able to write anything, at all.  No words flow our just anxiety like a cork on a wine bottle nobody can get out, until one breaks the top of the bottle to get at some of … Continue reading Writer’s Plank →

Spring Has….Sprung? (It’s Up for Debate)

No Midweek Geekiness Today.  I feel plumb tapped out for the time being...   This blog may have been quiet, but on other fronts it's not the case.  The college begins to wind its school year down. Last week it's helping students with the deeper parts of Microsoft Word, the stuff that rusts if disused, … Continue reading Spring Has….Sprung? (It’s Up for Debate) →

Midweek Geekiness: Welcome Back Westeros!

How do I follow-up the emotional gut-punch called season 4 of The Walking Dead?  By trading in Kirkman's deadly pen for George R.R. Martin's even deadlier pen.  Welcome to season 4 of Game of Thrones.  I tried to put it in bold typeface, but it's safe to say any discussion of Game of Thrones will … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Welcome Back Westeros! →

And Now a Word From Our Writer

I have done a bit of reblogs lately in between some sporadic writing.  Basically I have taken to the 80/20 rule as I did a bit of housekeeping, including adding a new blog to the Library Blogs/Website page. Plus I boldly stepped up my tweeting.  (Not easy for a wordy woman such as myself.)   Keep … Continue reading And Now a Word From Our Writer →

Racism, Sexism, and Hannibal: Eat The Rude

Today's Midweek Geekiness comes courtesy of Hettienne Park. People feel very passionately about their television shows and their characters. In one instance, Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad wrote a New York Times Op-ed piece about the disdain some fans had for Skyler White. In Ms. Park's case race, as well as gender, proved to spark a … Continue reading Racism, Sexism, and Hannibal: Eat The Rude →

Midweek Geekiness: Just Twittering Around

Before Stacks and Ranges the blog, I created @stacksandranges the Twitter handle.  The reason is quite simple and involves a guy.  In this case it involves Nathan Fillion and some grand scheme to have him fall in love with my brain, then live happily ever after.  My following, and followers, reflect my eclectic tastes.  I … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Just Twittering Around →

Manitoba Libraries Conference 2014: In Pursuit of Unlimited Potential

When not fangirling over something, or someone, I usually read and deepen my knowledge as a library technician.  This year the Manitoba Libraries Conference unveiled its theme of 'Unlimited Potential'.  I actually like that theme.  After hearing all about libraries either dead, or dying, it's time to see what new ways to bring services to … Continue reading Manitoba Libraries Conference 2014: In Pursuit of Unlimited Potential →

A Post In Which Our Heroine Gets Stuck And Resorts To Fangirlish Things To Get…Well Unstuck

Seriously how old am I? Obviously old enough to post this: Like the subject line says I am stuck. I should rephrase that...I am stuck AGAIN!  Why?  I overthink things that's why.  I also broke a primary commandment in blogging...thou shalt write for thyself and see if others like it. For now I content myself … Continue reading A Post In Which Our Heroine Gets Stuck And Resorts To Fangirlish Things To Get…Well Unstuck →
