New Book
It was suggested to me about 3 months ago, to submit a Historical novella (60 pages) to a publisher as they have a new short line that pays pretty well, would get my out there and the publication is actually considered a full novel publication. This is always a good thing when one is desperately trying to get out there, as well as earn ones keep ( Read more... ) -
Movies, Writers and other food for thought
My parents are in town this week and James and I took them out tonight to see the movie "Julie & Julia". If you havn't seen it, are fond of food, cooking, writing or bizarre projects that take on a life of their own, I completely recommend this book. It was a wonderful treat the second time. I admit that it does inspire me to cook more, and James ( Read more... ) -
Update - August
A Note from Galen:
Busy, busy!
Many updates, soon, I'm sure, but as the summer is drawing to a close and the tomatos in my garden are stubbornly remaining green, I think we still have a few days left before fall hits. (It tends to happen early up here in Michigan, USA.) I'm working quite a bit right now on several research projects. One of them, ( Read more... ) -
Have Office, Will write....
Finally, I am happily ensconced in my office (it has a door!) and sitting at my desk, studiously ignoring the fact that the closet behind me (yes, I even have a closet in my office) is filled with boxes of unknown content that probably don't even belong here. Nor am I focusing on the fact that we still haven't managed to install the shelves above ( Read more... ) -
Moving started....
Well almost all of our funiture is moved into the new place and it looks lovely. I am amazed at how well the bedroom furniture fits and looks with the pretty Regency blue walls. We got the upstairs at House Bruce packed up (YEA!) and were supposed to get the basement done today, but I ended up witha blasted cold so am taking it easy (whether I ( Read more... ) -

Poem - The warmth holds me close...
The warmth encompasses me and holds me close
Tight within the arms of awareness and
Humbling in the sincerity of tenderness.
A candle flickers
Bringing within it's light the gentleness
The slight curve of your face
The edge of your smile
as you look down at me with sleepy eyes.
Within those eyes I see ( Read more... ) -
Poem - I fly, I exist....
I am here
Though you may not notice
Above the trees I soar
High within the clouds
Looking down upon the earth.
And so I guard you.
The wind lifts my wings, I
Coast down, my eyes closing
As I sniff the warm Spring air.
Tilting my head, I come to land
My hooves clicking softly on the stone path.
Though you can not see
This glad is my home

Revisions, Characters & New Chapters, Oh my!
Many of you have probaby heard me recently grumbing about the revisions on my current novel. The problem being, the rather drastic change in location. I hate revisions. It's worse than the line edits that I sometimes do when I'm really trying to clean things up before I send them off to one of my editors ( Read more... )
