Holding my nose to vote. Again.

September 30, 2008 | 3 Comments

McCain hasn’t been my favorite person in the world for going on about ten years now, so I was looking at McCain or Staying Home or The Libertarian Dude. It’d be the first time I’ve not at least voted against The Other Guy (like I have since, oh, King George I–bastid) and I sure [...]

The cold-blooded murder of the English tongue

September 29, 2008 | 4 Comments

I am resigned, although I have yet to make the official transition.
I have finally, irrevocably, inexorably decided that I cannot stem the tide of the use of “to raise” in reference to human beings. Much like the law of chastity, the use of “to rear” in reference to humans versus the use of “to [...]

I read Racy Romance Reviews and Read For Pleasure and Teach Me Tonight and I think, “Gee, these women are Smart. ” I am not that Smart. So I don’t comment much.

Bad Google! Bad!

One of the characters in The Proviso has post-traumatic stress disorder. Pretty sure I haven’t blogged this. I don’t think I’ve posted it in a comment anywhere. I haven’t sought out any PTSD blogs since I started using the feedreader.

So what’s stopping you?

September 22, 2008 | 7 Comments

I’ve referenced agent Lori Perkins before because she’s not constantly talking about how to write a better query or cheerleading constantly. YOU!CAN!DO!IT! YES!YOU!CAN! as if the odds of being picked up by an agent and, in turn, a publishing house aren’t astronomical. (And for a pittance, even.)
