I’m such a sucker for these things. I just love knowing that people who read this stuff appreciate me as much as I appreciate all the stuff I read. It reminds me that we’re all in this together, reading and writing. 🙂 So, huge thanks to Yawatta Hosby for throwing my name into the One Lovely BlogContinue reading “I am one lovely”

A Writer’s Notebook: NaNoWriMo prep and notecards
Yes, once again, National Novel Writing Month is just around the corner. Yet I wasn’t entirely sure I was going to participate this year.

A Writer’s Notebook: notes from a reading (the results so far)
So, as I promised last week, I’m attempting a draft of something based on notes I took at a literary reading here in PDX last week.

She opened the door but it stopped on itsContinue reading “A Writer’s Notebook: notes from a reading (the results so far)”
