Is continuing today with chapter 2!

On my birthday I quit my part time jobs with 2 separate Podiatric practices. Well, I tried anyway. I was told by each doctor that he would accept my resignation only if I would agree to come in as a consultant as needed but that I wouldn't have to work a regular schedule. One of them gave me a second job doing something I only did informally for him before.

I tried to go from 4 jobs to 2, but now it feels like 5. I guess it's nice to be wanted at my age... But, geez, guys.

Life the last two weeks has once again derailed my writing. I was working on a comedy fantasy piece, which seems to be coming together, but I’ve now ended up working on a story in far darker places. Anyway I’m writing blind, not sure if I’m writing something worth reading or just putting words on the page. If anyone is bored and has a few minutes to look at a hunk of a story (and can face my writing), head over to...

Hypatia's Place

I just found out a few hours ago Aunt Holly died. Even though I knew her health had been getting worse, I had been hoping somehow she'd pull through. I guess, sometimes, just wishing with all your heart don't always work.

Some part of me just wants to cry, but I can't. All I can feel is numbness right now. And emptiness. The world feels emptier without Aunt Holly in it.

I have just returned from the Shrewsbury Folk Festival, where, what with workshops and sessions, I spent about six hours each day playing. For three days, and two hours on the first evening. I was playing bodhran a little, but all the rest was mandolin, mandola and, er, ahem, nothing to see here, move along, um... banjo. I know I got photographed in the big session, but the rest of the time was music.

You just gotta laugh sometimes.

Penny Lane has produced a wonderful 'universe' that grabbed my attention to such an extent that I wished to contribute to it.

Hello

Today we rented Cloud Atlas.

I've had a couple of people ask me about putting the Jaci/Dottie stories in chronological order, and I think its a good idea, but I'm not sure how to make it work. Part of the problem is I struggle with the "weight" thing, and part is that the stories are done by more than just me, so I cant get into say Jaci's stories and edit them so they fall in the right places.

Help, anybody?

I am writing a story and need to cook a feast a Japanese American would feed American friends to give them a taste of Japan. I will give them a sneak peak at my story as it is now and ask them some questions.

For anyone that is interested I've uploaded updated versions of the eBook (in pdf and epub format) for the final book in my Ragnarok Rising trilogy, Destiny: Legacy of a Spellbinder. The changes are not major, but they are there. The text is now identical to the previous minor revisions already made here on the web version and I've made some changes to the formatting.

I've updated the links on all the affected organizer pages.

First, if this law was in California in 1944, maybe Holly Hart wouldn't have had a radical hysterectomy at the age of ONE DAY:

I cannot believe that the passing of Elmore Leonard has not been more widely announced - and grieved over!

So, I've almost always run my getting to be, ancient, Dell XPS 430 64bit computer with two screens. So, I frequently will answer an email, or comment on a blog by opening the original blog on one screen and then opening the same blog on the other screen for purposes of answering said blog, or email.

So, I am wondering how it is possible to view the same URL twice on the same computer and have it not get terribly confused?

Here is a piece that is sure to get some folks heart pumping this morning and save you from needing that second cup of coffee.
