In which the writer blogs about her growing collection of rejection letters, quirky Internet finds, and the inside-out adventures of daily life
It may be almost midnight on Friday night, but I have completed my word count goal for the week. So, here’s the word-o-meter,
And, ta-da! It looks fabulous! How is she getting through the novel so fast, they wonder. Well…
After consulting various experts in the field, and chattering about the relativity of writing wisdom on my […]
Apparently this shack’s got something priceless inside. A truck followed us down the road to where I was taking a picture for my Facebook album and asked what we were up to, very polite, but still inquiring. When we told them I just wanted some pictures, they were cool with it. They had to be attentive, they explained. They’d had […]
Last night I finished my writing early, and decided to call my parents. They’re both night owls, and besides have a two hour time difference, so they’re the ideal people to call if I want to chat for a bit when it’s too late to call any sane person. Besides–they’re my parents–it’s always good to […]
I have a people in my wip that sometimes spend time in swan form. Lovely but dangerous, they are the guardians of the portals. When you look at a pic like this, it’s easy to see the origin of my inspiration.
I’ve found some info that was news to me. Did you know swans are black when native to Australia? […]
Today has been a bit crazy. Or maybe it’s the last several days. This past weekend had all our usual Saturday errands, etc., plus attending Alan Welch’s gallery showing (which was very cool and will get a longer post on the LJ) and doing some measuring on the windows of our old house in order to […]
Yesterday I spent some time thinking about this blog, its successes and failings, and what the heck I’m going to do with my LJ account and the new Facebook I started.
I found some useful tips here, and here. This one, on good author websites, was perhaps more to the point. One thing they all seemed to […]
Just a short note to say that The Sigurd Journal site has been updated, and will be experiencing regular updates from here on. I’m not sure how they/we did it, but someone finally got the backwards and sloth-like web editor to make changes and begin catching up the site…can’t imagine what was keeping them. People […]
Perhaps that should be the un-official name for November 1st, at least in our house. I usually try to ration the candy, ask the kids to make sensible choices and provide limits…
But apparently, not this year. This is just our son’s wrapper pile, from his personal stash. Our daughter was a little wiser, and slipped […]
I know this is late notice, but sometimes that just means you can’t forget about the event, and may actually have your schedule pinned down.
So, celebrate the Durham Art Walk this Saturday, Nov. 1st, with Alan Welch anytime between 11:00 and 3:00pm. This was his summary:
I will have almost all my models there in costume, plus an […]
I can’t type those words without hearing, in my mind, the throaty voice of our hand-grabbing candy dish. Ah, the joys of mis-spent money.
The family had a good crop of decorated pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns this year. Below you see my free-hand cat, and our son’s carefully carved ‘BSA is Cool’. The latter should be submitted […]
