Hiddy Ho Good Neighbors

Dana here with a quick post about my writing. Demon Protege is in her final stages of preparation for her release next month. Book cover is under construction and I'm busy filling in plot holes. Editing is occuring simultaneously to smooth out any rough patches. So unlike most road construction projects, Demon Protege is set …

Ah, now I remember…

Not sure how long ago it was. If I really wanted to be precise with the memory, I'd scroll back through my blog posts and find it as I chronicled a lot of my life's ups and downs here on WordPress for quite a few years, but alas, scrolling through said chronicles is a long …

Another Glimpse Behind the Curtain…

Read a lengthy article via one of my favorite blogs (Ends and Beginnings) not too long ago (click HERE).  By the end of the article, my fear, mistrust, and sadness rose to the highest levels they've been since elementary school when the TV mini-series Roots aired (1977) and sparked racial tension at school  I was ten years old …

Where have the words gone?

I'm beginning to think my Morning Pages routine has usurped my Blog in terms of where I go to process my life. Used to be I'd post my inner ramblings (edited of course) here whenever the words demanded release, or I needed to "think". Since entering the 8th month of daily Morning Pages, I've noticed …

If you could see inside my soul…

Here are just a few of the items you'd find: a note pad and an ornately carved ink pen with a fine tip. The ink inside would randomly change color to cover all the spectrum of the rainbow. a seven year old playing, skipping, reading, but mostly day dreaming of all kinds of things an …

2:33 AM – Deja Vu

Hey. This post is sponsored by our friends at Insomnia International, the Migraine Fairy Brigade, and Excedrine. Guess who's been awake since 2:30 AM? And if we take a stroll through the archives, I'd be willing to bet there are at least four other posts with similar times in their titles. Sigh. Since I'm up, …

22 of 40 – It’s Been a Minute

Another revelatory round of Morning Pages. Check this out. I have come back to my home town every year since I moved away in 2005. I started coming back to do writer's events in 2010.  It has snowed every trip back with the exception of the one time I came back during a summer to …

15 of 40 – The Eye of the Spider

Yeah...so, my "spirit animal" twice or thrice removed made a dramatic appearance this morning in the form of a web dive to the ground just in my peripheral vision as I was coming through a doorway at work. *shudder* It has been several months since the last "blessing" so I suppose I should be somewhat …

12 of 40 – Do you trust me?

Go here. I've really wandered loose, eh?  What has it been, three days in a row of no posts? I wish I could say it was because I was knee deep in my Camp NaNo project or neck deep in editing AT and TOW but alas, I was lost in my own head, swimming through …

11 of 40 – At a Loss

"If thine own eye offends thee, pluck it out."  As spoken by Roddy McDowell in the classic film, The Legend of Hell House. Anyway, the idea behind the quote today is that there are a couple of behaviors I have that block me from my goals, from my desires. I'm sure you have one or …
