I'm seriously beginning to doubt Match.com's matching capabilities. Just because two people both have dogs doesn't make them a match. Even better? Just because a guy shares the same birth month with me, it most certainly does not make us a match. Why? Two Gemini together are great as friends, but as lovers? Oh hell… Continue reading Singled Out – Online Dating – Week 3

Dating Site Tip #3
Gentlemen, learn how to spell, please. For someone like me, if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're," I'm less likely to be interested because it shows either a lack of education or that you're a lazy writer. I am a writer and editor, after all. UPDATE: a woman who has an education will very rarely… Continue reading Dating Site Tip #3
Online Dating – Week 2
So...I'm kidding. Well, not much happening in week two other than I've had no contact with Bachelors #1 and #2, but have had a few phone conversations with Bachelor #3 (aka Nocturnal One) after having drinks and wonderful conversation with him last Friday (the 16th). I met him at 9pm at Barnes & Noble (my… Continue reading Online Dating – Week 2
Fresh Start
In lieu of my cooking escapades this week, I've decided to share with you something I've found recently - one of Umi's poems. That's right, my mother is a poet and has several of them...somewhere around here. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. At a time when your world's Full of hurt and pain When… Continue reading Fresh Start
Track Changes 101
Today, I'm going to teach you all about Track Changes in MS Word. If you don't know what that is, that's okay. I've encountered many writers over the last few years who haven't a clue. I've taught them via phone and email; I can teach you through a blog post. Actually, it'll be easier this way because… Continue reading Track Changes 101
Online Dating and Me
Okay, so some of you know, if you've been paying attention, that I signed up for an online dating service during my apparent inebriated state after coming home from Atomic night in Scottsdale on Sunday, September 4th. I'll admit, even with the buzz I carried, I was a tad nervous about the prospect. I mean… Continue reading Online Dating and Me
Updates and #Stuff
Hi. I thought I'd drop in to give a quick update as to what I've been up to lately. 🙂 Homework--it has buried me and I'm in the midst of Shakespeare's damn sonnets (which I actually do love) and mid-terms. I've already completed my Anthropology mid-term, but still have my English mid-term to take by… Continue reading Updates and #Stuff
The Nemesis Playlist
Most of this post was originally published on Derek Hawkins' blog Brain Drippings. When I first started writing Nemesis, and pretty much any book before it, I didn't listen to music like most writers do. I have ADD, so I'm distracted quite easily. I needed total solitude and mostly silence, so I sat outside on… Continue reading The Nemesis Playlist
What is Your Passion?
Today, I welcome a good friend, fellow writer and author, and just an awesome gal all around, Missy Jane, and she is going to discuss her passion(s). Makes sense, right? Romance author = passion. I mean, hell, look at that HOT cover below! *ahem* Take it away, Missy! It’s a given that writers are also… Continue reading What is Your Passion?
What I Need
Most of you know, especially if you follow me on Twitter or are a Facebook friend, the kind of week and a half I've had. My paternal grandmother passed away on June 11th, two days before my birthday, and I spent my birthday at the mortuary and cemetery planning g-ma's services with my uncle, as… Continue reading What I Need
