this has been a fairly decently packed weekend. the internet has proven itself again to be my bloody hero, since it will have single-handedly fixed my dryer. who needs a dodgy, greasy, eye-bepatched repairman when the internet swings in on a roll of dryer sheets to save the day? i've taken the dang thing apart (the dryer, not the internet), ( Read more... ) -

Willamette Writers Conference
I spent all day Friday and dinner tonight at the Willamette Writer's Conference. Totally. Worth. The Money. It was such a good mix of people, such fabulous presentations, and I feel all sorts of inspired now. I just need to remember how this feels for the next 365 days. I met a ton of awesome writers, and I feel like I squeezed every little ( Read more... ) -
