November is upon us. November is NaNoWriMo, which means that I will be inspired to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. I have participated the last two years, and I’ve had a blast each time. Because I’m CDO, I wrote 150,000 words the first year and roughly 125,000 last year. Maybe I’ll hit… Continue Reading

Quick Housekeeping Note
I have been asked to provide an email address so readers can contact me directly rather than comment on these pages. To that end, I have changed my About page to my About Me/Contact Me page and added an email addy. It’s at the top, right above the categories. Continue Reading
Attention Blog Readers
I am going off the grid for a while. I will answer all the comments that are posted during my time away. I will not be blogging during that time. Check back in a week or two or more. Continue Reading
Uncomfortably Numb
I have many things going on right now, so why do I feel as if I’m going nowhere, and fast? As I mentioned yesterday, I have a new blogging gig. In addition, I have my mom’s magnum opus to type (around 250 pages), and another editing job on the backburner. In addition, I’m blogging every… Continue Reading
Identity Politics
So. I have briefly blogged about a comment over at BJ that was directed at me by a commenter (woman, I think. Ed. note: I think it’s a man now. Which makes more sense as men, in general, have a more aggressive style of commenting) who was angry that I would dare mention my race… Continue Reading
I’m Back, Bitchez!
Ed. Note: Pictures are back! There are only a few back-end things I need to change, and we’re totally back to normal. Well, at least what passes for normal around here…. Hello! Did you miss me? I know I missed me. I kid, I kid, I missed y’all and blogging more than I ever thought… Continue Reading
Fuck You, California
Subtitled: I’m taking my next vacation in Iowa. First of all, I am not a lawyer. I don’t play one on TV, and I don’t purport to understand all the complexities of our legal system. I wanted to get that out of the way because I want my not-so-gentle readers to be clear that what… Continue Reading
Viva La Revolution du The! (With the Appropriate Accents)
Ok. I tried to be above the fray that is the teabaggin’ parties, but I cannot. Why? First of all, I want my tea back! Tea is a wonderful beverage that warms you up on a cold, MN winter night (sniff, bye winter), and it is unfairly being usurped by the right to further their… Continue Reading
Attention K-Mart Shoppers
As I a writing this, it’s almost 11:30 p.m., Central Whatever Time. In approximately half an hour, Script Frenzy month will start. The goal is to write a full-length script (screenplay or an actual theatre play script) in the month. I did it last year, and it was a blast, so I am doing it again.… Continue Reading
To All the Movies I’ve Panned Before
I don’t feel like writing new content today, so I am publishing reviews of movies that were so bad, I didn’t finish watching them. I decided since I had to sit through at least ten minutes of each one, you should have to read a short review that should take even less time to read… Continue Reading
