(…which technically makes my title incorrect as it is actually eleven days until Christmas…) When it comes to Christmas music, I am somewhat of a traditionalist. I have two Christmas CDs in my car – Johnny Mathis and The Carpenters. I believe certain songs should only be sung by certain singers. Bing Crosby gets “White… Read More 12 Days Until Christmas – Day Two
In honor of there being 12 days until Christmas, I thought it would be fun to make a list of some of my favorite things about the Christmas season (insert Julie Andrew reference here…) and post a new one every day. Now, everyone knows that the best part of Christmas is being around your family and friends, so… Read More 12 Days Until Christmas – Day One
One of the reasons I don’t update my blog more regularly is that most of the time I don’t have terrifically interesting things to say. I’m always busy, but generally busy doing the same things. Yup, still trying to sell my novel. Yup, still working on a screenplay. Yup, ate way too much turkey and pumpkin… Read More Topics to Write About
Since Saturday was cold and miserable (and it’s only November!) and I had a ton to do around the house, I kicked around at home for most of the day. Luckily for me, most of my chores (folding laundry, paying bills, filing papers and knitting a stocking cap for my nephew out of camouflage yarn… Read More Laura and the Blustery Day
For me, writing is a lot like hanging out with my friends. I really, really want to do it and I know I’ll have a great time when I’m in the middle of it, but finding the time with everything else that is going on in life is really difficult. Sometimes, as much as I… Read More Procrastination – writer style

(A very scary prospect) Luckily, picking my video test subject was fairly easy. As many of you may know, I am obsessed with very… Read More Eye of the Tiger
Somehow the month of October just passed me by. I can’t believe I only posted two blog entries during the entire month. Shameful! In all fairness, though, it was a very busy time: I had to travel out of state for work on three separate occasions; I had my wonderful vacation to Nantucket; and I turned… Read More Agents and Writers
Sorry I didn’t get the pictures up sooner, but I had to recover from my boredom-induced coma from the Project Runway season finale. I agree that Leanne should have won, but only by a hair. In my opinion, none of the three finalists presented lines that were especially fabulous. Of course, I have been known… Read More Post Vacation – Part II
The worst day of a vacation is the day after the day you come home. The actual day you come home from vacation, you’re still enjoying the cheap thrills of sleeping in your own bed and unfolding your spine from the unnatural shape it adhered to after five hours in a car. The day after vacation, though, is filled… Read More Post-Vacation Part I
