I’m working on a lot of different things lately and trying to settle down to take each thing at a time. It’s back to being gang-mugged by ideas every time I turn around and I find my order of importance keeps shifting every time someone sends me new submission guidelines that I absolutely want to … More Gettin’ my ideas in order
And now that I hopefully have the Beatles’ ‘Revolution’ in your head for the rest of the day… January is here! A new year, a new start, a new everything! I had a great New Year’s – did the shows down at the zoo to a full house. There’s nothing better than audiences that really … More You say you want a resolution…
Happy belated Holidays to everyone – hope y’all have had a great season filled with warm homes, good food, surrounded by good people. My apologies for being absent until now – between the holiday gig, fighting off a bug, and working on edits for a story I’ll have in an upcoming issue of The MacGuffin … More Selah vs. December and the Moments that Matter
So last month I attended HorrorHound, and for those with keen eyes you may have noticed I haven’t talked about it yet. This isn’t because I didn’t have fun. I had a fabulous time and ran around like the big geek I am, geeking out with other geeks. I also got a chance to talk … More Women and Horror (note it’s spelled HORROR)
I’ve said before that I’m very lucky to have a vast (and somewhat warped) imagination. Although I think some bits of that is inherent to an individual, in my case I can attribute a lot of it to circumstances when I was growing up. My folks are both imaginative individuals in different ways. My dad … More The Storytellers in My Life
I try to save myself from this every year. I can usually make it through most of the rest of the year….winter is hard, but the holidays are the hardest. Everything is so cozy and happy, but I’m usually busy with performance obligations so I have to keep my head clear. And spending money on … More Slave to the (knitting) needle
I’m really not complaining. I’m very, very blessed to have an active imagination that’s also incredibly fruitful. But do all my ideas have to attack me at once? Can I not take a drive, a shower, a nap without one more popping up? If I have to use one more tube of lipstick to write … More When Ideas Attack!
So just when I think there can’t possibly be more, I got a notification this week that a poem of mine will be in the back-to-school issue (probably Aug/Sept) of the e-zine Stories for Children Magazine! I’m so excited for a variety of reasons. Obviously, another acceptance makes me happy, but it’s more than that. … More Substantial Children’s Lit or Why I Refuse to Stop Reading Kids Books
So I opened up my email, expecting the usual amount of ads, necessary requests for stuff, the usual…and I found that I’ve had another story accepted to be released as an e-book next year! I am doing a dance, let me tell you! It will be called ‘The Other Man’ and it’s a quirky, unusual … More An Unexpected Alliance
I want to take a minute to talk about the holidays. Nah, I’m not going to get religious or sentimental, not gonna re-hash any memories. But since we’re going to be getting into December proper, I want to say this while it’s in my head. So I’m going to get on my high horse for … More It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
