So the post office finally delivered my long-awaited poop bags. Then Sir Waggington's emailed me to say my next subscription order - every two months - would be shipped on March 4. I had to skip it, because I just got the first one, and I'm up to my eyeballs in poop bags (which I …

I will not talk about the frequency of my blog posts in this blog post. Dammit, I did it anyway. Moving on. Two things are on my mind right now: 1) the Post Office and 2) my writing. Thing 1: Post Office, or How America is Still Climbing Uphill We all remember last year, the …
I'm still not great about posting blogs regularly. I guess I don't care as much about blogging as I do about other things, like staring at the wall and wondering about the wrong turns I've taken over the years, or reorganizing my jeans, or cleaning things that nobody can see. Perhaps one day, I'll post …
A lot has already been said about what happened last week, and I've given everything a lot of my thoughts and attention, and so I'm not going to churn out more crap about it here. Suffice it to say that the idiots who stormed the Capitol are fucking walnuts, and watching their "plot" fold in …
So a few months ago, I wrote a post about how I wanted a Freewrite, which is a ridiculous and overpriced device that I shouldn't want, but I do. Shortly after I wrote that post, my husband and several of my lovely friends got together and bought me one from the website presale. I was …
Not much to say today, but I was looking for a template for Scrivener for the Snowflake Novel Writing Method. I found one that I had used before, but I couldn't get it to work. The Snowflake Method was created by Randy Ingermanson, who is a writer and also a physicist, and it's a good …
The world these days changes so rapidly. Pandemics and civil unrest in the macrocosm; the year is more than half over now, and we're still in the center of a global health crisis. George Floyd didn't make it to the six-month mark, but his horrible death created a firestorm that spurred nationwide conversation about racism …
I busted out my AlphaSmart a couple of days ago when, in a fit of claustrophobic anxiety, I almost made the ridiculous purchase of a Freewrite. In case you aren't aware, a Freewrite (previously called a Hemingwrite and changed because.... reasons) is basically a digital word processor with an analog feel that costs about $500. …
It's 65 degrees outside. On January 12. This means that soon - probably within the next couple of weeks - the weather will turn hateful. It's supposed to be in the 30s right now, not the 60s. This is Philly, not California. I grew up in the metro Detroit area, and I am no stranger …
So my internal clock is all messed up due to Daylight Savings Time. It's 9:30 PM, but it feels like 10:30, so instead of being fairly awake, I have insomnia. You didn't think that's what I'd say! Two for flinching. I don't actually have insomnia, I don't think. I think if I were to get …
