Misbegotten Treasure

In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, today I ditched the car and spent some four or five hours treasure huntingÂ on foot.Â During the course of said treasure hunt, I encouraged my young swashbuklers toÂ mess with the fountain while IÂ daydreamed of myÂ book-bound friends’ celebration of Pirate Day, fedÂ the whole crewÂ fried chips and fishÂ for lunch,

The Dearly (but not yet) Departed

16SeptemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery

To our beloved fridge,Â You always keptÂ our foodÂ cold With your hum and occasional racket Your exterior was off-white and old But we loved your magnetic jacket YouÂ served us well for all of three weeks, mayÂ you soon rest in recycledÂ pieces.

Writing in a New Direction

10SeptemberSuzanne2 CommentsWriting

Well, first it was one thing, than it was another…I could make this a very long post,Â but the bite-size point is that after much outlining and considering, I’ve decided that my Yan stories will stay within the short realm for the time being, so no novel will be forthcoming from that direction, while at

Hauling Away the Uhaul

8SeptemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs, Rumblings

Sadly, I did not get photos.Â You will all have to stretch your imagination tall and long in order to wrap it around the mental image of a 24 foot uhaul–backed into my driveway. Now, if said Uhaul had been mine, that would be alright.Â If it had belonged to a sister, cousin, or neighbor,

WOTF Once Again…

Fist of the Black Bird has been posted as an Honorable Mention in thisÂ year’s thirdÂ quarter of The Writers of the Future Contest.Â It comes as no great surprise, considering the story’s weak fantasy element.Â And, at the least, the contest has once again provided me with the impetus to write and make presentable a story

The Other Side of the Storm

5SeptemberSuzanneRumblings

I know this is a Yahoo article, which would mean in the usual course that it was too public for me to blog.Â Why blog something everyone’s already seen?Â But this particular topic has been a pet peeve of mine for long enough that I find myself unable to resist the urge to pull it

Blowing Kisses to the Online World

2SeptemberSuzanneBlogging, Just for Laughs

Yeah, I’m back!Â Hello everyone! You may not have missed me, but I’ve been in withdrawal.Â We moved over a week ago, and other than one short moment of nauseatingly-slow dial-up internet, I’ve been entirely unplugged.Â No emails.Â No blogging.Â No feedback on writing.Â No chatting with online friends. It was anÂ electronicÂ wasteland. The amusing part

Blogging Birthday Number Two

29AugustSuzanneBlogging, Home in the Rookery

Seriously, when I started this thing, I wasn’t sure I’d last two months, let alone two years.Â But the habit’s grown on me, and I don’t think I’ve gone for more than a week or twoÂ at a time without blogging, even when life threw upÂ its spinach salsa and pickled eggs all over me.Â Been noticing

When The Ninjas Get it Right

25AugustSuzanne4 CommentsJust for Laughs, Martial Arts

You might be wondering how I’m managing to blogÂ on ourÂ moving day, and the answer would be— I’m a Ninja! Okay, not even a wanna-be.Â But I am a fan of Ask a Ninja, and someday I plan to send in a question.Â Right after I get my six foot plot of earthÂ picked out and and

A bit of this, a bit of that, and some of the other, too

22AugustSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Okay, so Plainbellied tagged me, and I figure that’s as good a reason as any to catch up the plog, whoops, I mean blog.Â We’ll get to plogs some other time. The rules are: List the rules.Â Then list three: joys, fears, goals, obsessions, facts.Â I guess someone likes three…except that I’m then supposed to
