YeahWrite #360 Weekly Writing Challenge: Popular Vote Winners and Editors’ Picks
Maybe it's the weekend. Maybe not. I got a surprise weekend in the middle of my week when a client blew a deadline by two days. The corollary is that I now no longer get a weekend on the weekend itself, but it was glorious to have those midweek days to write and edit...

Cozied Up Yesterday I was in Napa, CA, and now I'm in the middle of a nor'easter predicted to dump 15 inches of snow in my Boston burb. Normally, I'd be a lot more bothered by this scenario, because dogs. But I decided to give myself the gift of boarding them an extra...

Do Over So, January was 172 days long and February lasted only about 172 minutes. In all of that, I definitely lost sight of my writing resolutions and goals. How about you? Are you plugging along or in need of a reboot? I think it's probably more fair to...

Sage Advice Last weekend I was working at the Long Beach Comic Expo (and if you're near SoCal in September, I highly recommend its sister show, Long Beach Comic Con). My job as a panel room wrangler gives me a great opportunity to listen in on some great...
YeahWrite #358 Weekly Writing Challenge: Popular Vote Winners and Editors’ Picks
One-Upped! Stacie may have her actual photo of a purple gallinule, but I have this stock photo of an American Coot, which is basically the same if you ignore that it's an entirely different genus and also kind of goth. But they're both nicknamed "Moorhen" SO WHO'S...

Finally, 45 Years Later I've been a bird nerd since I was a little girl. I guess I should say "geek" meaning someone with a specific focus, but "bird nerd" rhymes so we'll go with it. I used to study my bird book and wish really hard that I could see all the birds....
