Election Day

4NovemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Today has been a bit crazy.Â Or maybe it’s the last several days.Â This past weekend hadÂ all our usual Saturday errands, etc., plus attending Alan Welch’s gallery showing (which was very cool and will get a longer post on the LJ) and doing some measuring on the windows of our old house in order to

Minor Changes to the Blog

3NovemberSuzanne5 CommentsBlogging

Yesterday I spent some time thinking about this blog, its successes and failings, and what the heck I’m going to do with my LJ account and the new Facebook I started. I found some useful tips here, and here.Â This one, on good author websites, was perhapsÂ more to the point.Â One thing they all seemed

TSJ Update

2NovemberSuzanneJust for Laughs, The Sigurd Journal

Just a short note to say that The Sigurd Journal site has been updated, and will be experiencing regular updates from here on.Â I’m not sure how they/we did it, but someone finally got the backwards and sloth-like web editor to make changes and begin catching up the site…can’t imagine what was keeping them.Â People

Candy-Wrapper Day

1NovemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Perhaps that should be the un-official name for November 1st, at least in our house.Â I usually try to ration the candy, ask the kids to make sensible choices and provide limits… But apparently, not this year.Â This is just our son’s wrapper pile, from his personal stash.Â Our daughter was a little wiser, and

I know this is late notice, but sometimes that just means you can’t forget about the event, and may actually have your schedule pinned down. So,Â celebrateÂ the Durham Art Walk this Saturday, Nov. 1st, with Alan Welch anytime between 11:00 and 3:00pm.Â This was his summary: I will have almost all my models there in costume,

Happy Halloween!

I can’t type those words without hearing, in my mind, the throaty voice of our hand-grabbing candy dish.Â Ah, the joys of mis-spent money. The family had a good crop of decorated pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns this year.Â Below you see my free-hand cat, and our son’s carefully carved ‘BSA is Cool’.Â The latter should be

Writing Characters Into the Future

30OctoberSuzanneWriting

We all know about backhistory, and world building.Â There are various views on how much should be written, but kept in the writer’s file, and how much should be shared in the book.Â Some also advocate the camera approach to world-building.Â That is, create only what’s necessary to build a believable world, just as a

Creativity, Charmin Style

Writers have the best jobs.Â What other field of work would lead to researchingÂ beautiful and fanciful creations like these lovely toilet paper dresses? This one is a personal favorite.Â Maybe someday I’ll dress a character in it. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â My online research into the intricate world of

An Addition to the Blogroll and Some Cool Bandaids

I’m adding Being Cindy to my blogroll–welcome!Â Cindy has the good grace to think like I do–that YA fantasy is an awesome genre to enjoy just now–and also writes lovely poetry.Â More than that, though, Cindy exudes sunshine.Â So on cloudy days, or whenever, check out her blog. I’m also linking to some really cool

Talking With My Mouth Shut

26OctoberSuzanne3 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

This afternoon we were eating a late lunch of pizza, (incidentally, it was the freezer half-cheese, half-pepperoni kind, which IÂ can recommend for picky families) and my ear/jaw gave a painful pop. Being hungry and keen on pizza, I kept eating.Â But the pain only became worse, ’til it felt like I was doing the equivalent
