Help Wanted: Translator
This is an audience participation post. I have a little notebook that I carry with me all the time. See how cute it is. And responsible. It’s all recycled. Even the pen is recycled cardboard (well not the inside). It’s very inspirational. (except I try not to recycle too many stories). It was also free. …
My New Career
I love television. When I write about TV though, I mostly write about the old shows: The Mickey Mouse Club, Ed Sullivan, The Mod Squad. I’ve pretty much stayed away from today’s shows – mostly because I could never do them justice the way Speaker7 over at RamblingsandRumblings does. But I watched a show on …
A Snow White Christmas
I recently wrote about “Snow White and The Smelly Dwarfs” – but it is Christmas time and I also have a sweet (rather than smelly) Snow White story. This is an except from my as-yet unpublished novel. It’s a fictionalized account of the Christmas when I was five. But it is not so very fictional… the …
Adverbally Endowed

I could get really conceited (okay, I already AM really conceited). But I know these compliments …
Meanies
So….My last post was my most successful ever. ‘Ever’ meaning three months. I had a surprising number of views – and I am even adjusting for the new weird way that WordPress seems to be counting views. I think their new methodology may be akin to every kid getting a trophy at T-Ball. But whatever. …
Welcome To My Ponzi Scheme
Welcome to my Ponzi Scheme. Well, not mine, really. I guess it may have originated with WordPress or with some blogger from the stone-age blogger days. It’s the VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD! I am actually very happy to have received it, because it means that other bloggers like what I write. And that is amazing. In …
Pen Pals – Facebook Style
I am friends with a famous author. Facebook friends. This is not just a case where I clicked ‘Liked’ and now I get posts about the next novel in process or book signing appearance. I do have some celebrity Facebook friends like that. And I kind of like these famous people sharing little snippets with …
