Well, this is a shamefully overdue post, isn’t it?
No, I really haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth, though not for lack of trying, I’m told, by those attempting to contact me. I had a bit of a change in my life this past August and it’s taken me six rather long months to [...]

Happy Birthday to Allegro Moderato
Posted in Uncategorized on October 12, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Well, ladies and gentlemen, an entire year has flown by since the inception of this blog–holy cow! Who knew a year could go so fast? Who knew my attention span was long enough to actually post meaningful content for an entire 12 months? Not I, that’s for sure. At any rate, I just wanted to [...]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows–for Real
Posted in Uncategorized on May 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Ok, I totally figured out the ending to book seven in the Harry Potter series…I hate to spoil it for you all, but honestly, this was just too great to keep to myself. In all its glory, how it will all come down in that final match between Harry and his über-nemesis, Lord Voldemort:
P.S. It’s [...]
And Now, A Round of Shameless Self-Promotion

Ever heard of a podcast called The Writer’s Notebook? You haven’t? Oh, that’s because it’s not on iTunes or a website yet.
But it will be.
My friend Laura and I happen to be hilarious when we’re together; incidentally, we also happen to be writers. So we thought we’d take these talents and bring them to you, [...]
Update: Operation Fountain Pen
Posted in Uncategorized on April 17, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I went ahead and treated myself to a rather nice Cross® Century II fountain pen. I even took a little home movie of it, so you can see why I’m so excited. Now, I don’t promise great things–or anything, for that matter, nor do I expect it–but at least the handwriting [...]
20 Silent Messages about 20 People
Posted in Life, Uncategorized on April 10, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I borrowed this from Laura (and Mel, by extension). The concept is to tell 20 different people things you couldn’t tell them in real life. The people must also be kept anonymous. I’ve found it to be pretty great therapy. What would be interesting is to do it again in a year or two and [...]
Coloring With My Emotional Crayons
Posted in Uncategorized on March 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I know that this was supposed to be the democratic process and all but a comment from Peter (if you’re reading, introduce yourself!) made me rethink the whole look: “Dusk is a bit more ‘romantic,’ a bit more colored emotionally…” Well, if I’m not “colored emotionally,” then the Earth quite possibly is flat, indeed, and [...]

Why Fountain Pens Will Always Rock No Matter What You Say
Posted in Creative Writing, Uncategorized on March 14, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Author’s note: this post is dedicated to Sara, who patiently waited far, far too long to receive it.
I’ve always loved writing by hand. Yes, it’s slow and inefficient but there’s just something about looking at a page filled with lines and lines of blue ink, words and paragraphs crossed out, little notes here and there [...]
Oops…My Bad

Because I completely spaced on Sunday’s theme (I could have sworn I changed it! This is what I get for being busy…), I’m extending the contest one day. Voting will end Friday at 10 p.m. Central. On Saturday, the new theme will go up. Sorry!
My thanks to Sara for pointing out my grave error.
Addendum: Why [...]
