Hot, Wet, Silken Sands

So Silken Sands is this weekend – and its indisputably the finest beach-front Writers Conference around! The Sizzlers have told you about the conference – that the winners of the Silken Star Self-Published Contest will be announced, that Editors & Agents will be taking pitches, not in a scruffy meeting room, but on a deck [...]

In Memory of First Love

Someone can be a part of your life, even though you’ve never actually met them. In these days of mass media and instant celebrity, a lot of us know more about the Kardashians than our own family, which is a tragedy, and something that I want to blog about. But that is not the point [...]

A Do-It-Yourself Wetsday

Ain’t it always the way? You get things in order and chugging along smoothly in one or two areas of your life, and something else falls apart. And with the multitude of roles I try to fill, well, my poor personality isn’t just split, it’s as fractured as Medusa’s hand mirror. If I’ve got the [...]

Hot Ginger Wetsday!

Y’all know I love me some ginger. There’s something about that red hair, the cute “Opie from Mayberry” vibe, not to mention the legendary temper. (Y’all also know I love me a man with a temper – Jonny Lee Miller in Emma, Billy Zane in Titanic, etc.) So I’m always on the lookout for an [...]

A Wetsday Reassessment

I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong. I’d like to say that’s because it hardly ever happens, but the truth is, I’ve just had lots of practice and I’ve built up an immunity to the whole process. And today, kids, I am here to say that I made a mistake, and I’m gonna rectify [...]

Blackout: Stop SOPA

A Renaissance Man Wetsday

It’s always a let-down, when you finally get back into the groove after the holidays, and you realize that you will, in fact, have to work and clean house and eat right and exercise more and all those awful things that come with being a responsible adult. Because my day job has the incredibly wonderful [...]

Happy Wetsday, Dear Jillian . . .

Well, my darlings,the stars are in perfect alignment this week. Not just that the sun has entered Capricorn with the Winter Solstice, but we celebrate Jillan’s triumphant return from the Home Country (Christmas in London! Sigh…) And on top of that, it is dear Jillian’s birthday as well! How cool is that?!? So there is [...]

Wetsday Horror Story

Ok, I violated the first rule of title-writing today. The title, while it is cute and contains a pop-culture reference, in no way tells the the reader what to expect. Cause while our guest today does appear in my favorite creepy-spooky tv show, there is noting horrible about the pix I have for y’all today. [...]

A Classic, and Classy, Wetsday

Sometimes, you know, you have to take the long view. You look back over history,and you realize that the way things are now may not be the optimum situation. Just because something is au courant, the latest-and-greatest, does not mean that it is the best thing ever. This week I saw an ad for “My [...]
