Writing and Editing

Monday morning, as I started to go through the ninety articles awaiting my perusal in Feedly, I was struck by the number of those telling me not to do something. If you’re like me, unless it’s a two-year-old about to grab a hot skillet off the stove top, we’re more inclined to put a positive spin [...]
Announcing the electronic publication of Saucy Chronicles I: The Unicorns, a fantasy anthology of eight short stories about everyone’s favorite mythical beast, the unicorn. I’m very proud to be a member of this group, and excited about our new anthology, which I was privileged not only to contribute to (“The Frog and the Unicorn”), but to [...]
National Punctuation Day Today, September 24, is National Punctuation Day. I’ve written about this before, but last year’s offering was fairly broad-based. This year, I’m going to focus on an area of fiction writing that comes quite easily to some, but for many, is a labyrinth of false starts, dead ends, and forbidding alleyways. What I’m [...]
Tomorrow is National Punctuation Day, and to mark that auspicious occasion, Mr. John E. McIntyre, who plies his trade at the Baltimore Sun, has a few things say today about the lowly comma. Please follow the link to the complete (short) article; however, there is one paragraph I’d like to highlight (emphasis added): But the [...]
Are you a writer? Are you a writer in search of kindred souls? Are you a writer who’d like to join a casual but dedicated support group? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then I invite you to check out Saucy Ink: Forums for Writers. Created as a joint endeavor with Bre and [...]
Now don’t get too excited: this post is not about beginning a new WIP (although I have done that, but that’s not germane) (not today, at any rate). I know I’ve been away (from the blog) for awhile. I’ve been keeping myself occupied in other ways, though: Item: I converted my homebuilt desk into a [...]
Nothing to see here…move along. So yeah…nothing to report on Throne because I haven’t looked at it since I last posted. I have done a bunch of other stuff, though (including a bit of writing), so I’ll talk about all that instead. Fair enough? Reading and the Library These two things kinda go hand-in-hand (which [...]

First, a flourishing tip of the hat to Matt Mullenweg and the entire Automattic team for giving us the wonder that is WordPress.

Chris Pearson and the crew at DIYThemes deserve a huge round of applause for the Thesis Theme for WordPress. You lot make it look like I know how to write CSS and php!

However, even with Thesis, I'd never have made the site look half as good without the fantastic, step-by-step tutorials by a wonderful Aussie lady,Amelia Briscoe at Thesis Video Tutorials. Couldn't have done it without you!

Finally (saving the best for last), the Aerie would still be gathering dust if not for the occasional poke from my dear friend, Tami Moore. Her good-natured wheedling culminated in an offer to host a guest article from me, and was the spark that reignited my blogging fires. Even embiggened virtual hugs aren't enough to express what Tami's friendship means to me.
