My wonderful minions, please welcome mystery guest blogger LS Fayne today, who will be discussing self-publishing and why she chose it over traditional publishing. An interesting topic for those newbie writers out there. I've been talking with Linda for several weeks now, and she's a lovely lady. We have a few things in common, one… Continue reading LS Fayne – Why I Chose to Self-Publish

Tale vs. Short Story – 13 Aug 2012
This week's Writing/Editing tip will be very short because I'd just like to share two very basic things with you that I learned in my literary criticism class a while back. These are also things I really need to remember, so I'm hoping that by writing them down, they'll stick. Hey, I can dream!
Leave It to a Drag Queen…
…to drag a three-hour show out to six. The Monday before Moonbug died, her breeder and my friend JL, invited me to the Miss Gay Arizona America pageant because her daughter was dancing for one of the divas...I mean contestants. Neveah, to be exact. I thought "Sure, why not? It'll be fun and I get… Continue reading Leave It to a Drag Queen…
All Apologies
My dearest minions, I have been dealing with technological issues for quite some time, and those of you who follow me on Twitter or are on my Facebook can attest to the frustration I have experienced over the past several weeks. It's been a nightmare. I was in technology hell, but I've found an escape… Continue reading All Apologies
Writing/Editing Tip of the Week – Passive Voice
Since the spammers are being stupid now and only leaving me comments with links, which I won't EVER approve OR discuss outside of this sentence due to their subject matter (things best left for erotic tales and little blue pills), I will now have to switch topics. So there will be no more Spam Comment… Continue reading Writing/Editing Tip of the Week – Passive Voice
That Feeling…
...when even though you're surrounded by people, you feel utterly alone. Ever feel like that? It's been almost 20 years since I've been without a dog in the house. Twenty. Fucking. Years. I can't even really begin to describe how it feels aside from the statement above. I miss my Moonbug, my K'Lar, my MacLeod,… Continue reading That Feeling…
My Moonbug
Most of you know that I had to euthanize Moon last Friday, June 29th, only two months before her 12th birthday. Sadly, this is my reality. The other reality is that this post may make you tear up. I'm tearing up just writing it, which is why I likely subconsciously put it off until now. What you… Continue reading My Moonbug
Working Out and Swearing
A week and a half ago, I was out with some friends at a local Goth club (that was awesome AND that I'm totally taking RC Murphy to next time she visits). Toward the end of the night, my friend G and I were lamenting about our age, our bellies (because we both could pull… Continue reading Working Out and Swearing
Spam Comment – 25 June 2012
Hey, minions! I barely skimmed this one and thought it was perfect before I even realized which post it was on, which makes it even more perfect. HA! Today's spam comment comes from piscine bois tonga, and was left on . . . wait for it . . . Zombieland. When you read below, you'll understand why… Continue reading Spam Comment – 25 June 2012
Mexican Chicken and Rice
I know, it's been a long time since I posted a recipe, but I've been busy with other things and haven't been experimenting much in the kitchen. Lucky for you, my sister-friend Deni has! She sent me this wonderful recipe last night. Though she said it tastes awesome, I have no idea, but we're going… Continue reading Mexican Chicken and Rice
