What’s The Cure for Premature Posting?

Sorry, folks, for the two posts in one day. One of the advantages of WordPress is the ability to post across devices. Right now, I madly type with my thumbs, on my phone, at my local Starbucks.  Unfortunately it takes one device to muck up the works. After finishing the Charlie Dore post,  I suddenly … Continue reading What’s The Cure for Premature Posting? →

No Music Monday for Today

Sorry, folks, as the subject says no tunes for today. In my other life as a Library Technician, the students wrote their exams last week. The library will go from bustling hive to an almost monastic calm. Summer also means holidays and housekeeping projects. In my other life as a writer, I have things to … Continue reading No Music Monday for Today →

Glitches and Clutter

When I log into WordPress, my routine includes checking stats, checking my home page, then checking my drafts. I got this message clicking on 'view site': I put something in the forum, and changed my password. I figured it had a good 5 year run anyway, and lead to another change. This post will mark the 390th … Continue reading Glitches and Clutter →

(To quote Douglas Adam, “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”) I accidentally pressed the wrong button with WordPress' new … Continue reading Year End Reflection 2014: Blogging and the Direction of Stacks and Ranges →

Warning: Long Winded Post Ahead

This is just a short post to warn readers about the long post ahead.  Seriously, read it on your coffee break if working.  Bring snacks.  It's not often one sees a show before it premieres this Sunday, but AMC put the pilot for Halt and Catch Fire online.  I try to keep things at 500 … Continue reading Warning: Long Winded Post Ahead →

Rev Up Your Writing with Our Blogging U. Challenge

Sometimes I can't resist a challenge. I have waited with baited fingers to hear about Blogging U. Nothing like a blog challenge to kick off June. Tally-hoooooo!!!!

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 →
