Just a Note
This is a short note to say I'm making the jump and transferring the blog completely to The Tekaran Lady.
This account will stay for the sole purpose of keeping up with some friends here on LJ, but no more posts will be made.
Thank you.

Being a Bookworm has its Benefits
In the comments following an earlier post regarding finding time to write again, Five Reflections asked, "What are some of the reflections on the four college literature classes and other classes you participated in?" and, "What deep intuitive understandings did you collect from your study of other authors?"
I've been thinking about the questions ( Read more... ) -
Blast from the Past: Oh, What a Grace
I'm feeling thankful this morning, so I thought I'd share the one and only song I've ever managed to write.
If you like gospel, jump in the ol' way back machine here and take a look at "Oh, What a Grace," a song written so long ago, I hadn't even met Hubby yet.
Many thanks go out to Mr. R. J. Stevens for composing the music.

And folks wonder why I hate winter...
Our heating bill arrived, and it's outrageous! Seriously, it's over 3/5 as much as we pay in rent a month.
We had some bitter weather this month, much colder than is normal for this area in January, and we're paying the price. And this is with layering and keeping the thermostat set as low as we can stand it!

Random Thoughts on Writing
So, I've been trying to find a bit more time to write the last few says. My notebook has been getting a workout, but it never really seems to translate into posts. This is a good thing, since I've mostly been venting to the notebook about the frustrations of tending two sick children under the age of three, the stresses of trying to buy our first ( Read more... ) -
Practice and Nonsense
I've been working on a compilation video of the girls' pictures to send to far flung family members using Microsoft Movie Maker, so naturally I got a silly idea. It wouldn't leave me alone, so I ended up making a Right of Succession teaser as practice.

It needs work, but it's a start.

Finding Time to Write
It seems like I've been struggling to find the time to write since I started the hobby all the way back in fifth grade.
At first it wasn't such a huge deal. I'd just take out my notebook and start writing sometimes in the evenings after homework and before bed, and weekends were largely free. It got a little trickier in junior high. The high school ( Read more... ) -
Blast from the Past: True Nightmares
Yeish, it's been forever since I've posted! Twenty-one weeks actually, but I've only just now regained enough time to notice.
I sadly don't have time for an in depth post on a new topic, so I've decided to bring you our first blast from the past post. Below is an excerpt from Succession, accepted by The Writer's Hood Science Fiction page, but never ( Read more... ) -
DIY Adventure
What do you do when it's time for those traditional formal pictures of your growing children, the photo places in your budget stink, and you can't afford prints at the good photographer's studio even with the half off discount former employees get for life? You either shell out your hard earned money for crappy pictures, or roll up your sleeves and ( Read more... ) -
Right of Succession Weekly Update
Unfortunately, there's not much to report this week. Between Father-in-law's parents coming up from Savannah to visit on Friday, a one-month-old not feeling well while going through a growth spurt at the same time, a toddler determined not to nap anymore, a visit to the doctor, and Father-in-law's heart surgery, things have been kind of crazy here ( Read more... )
