Craft – Someone Being Convinced of the Unbelievable

Sarkin stood quietly in the shadows, watching the table where Emily sat.Â Â The waiter had come and gone twice.Â Â Emily had cut a piece of bread, but only nimbled on it.Â Â He would join her soon. Emily folded her hands in her lap, thenÂ placed one on the table and leaned back.Â Â TheÂ tension around her eyes was joined by a

Post Article ‘Pearls Before Breakfast’

11AprilSuzanneRumblings

This was a grea hoax, and a great article by the Washington Post.Â Â I am grateful to feel confident I would have stopped, because I always stop for the street musicians if they’re any good at all. ButÂ that brings up a point. You see, I’m not a commuter.Â I work from home, on a flexible schedule,

The $64 Tomatoe

10AprilSuzanneThe Bookshelf

I owe this book my sanity. Not only in the here and now, for giving me something real and funny to keep me going through my math class, but also for saving me from the wonderful world of worm pee, hand-pollination, and all-out war with the local flora and fuana. Which is to say, I

To Weigh a Rejection Letter

9AprilSuzanne1 CommentWriting

How much do your rejection letters weigh?Â Do they add up to a pound? Imagine you had an ancient scale.Â You take it out, dust it off, and set it on the desk.Â Now pile your rejection letters on one side.Â What would you place on the other?Â Missing your favorite show for three years

Serenity vs. Star Wars

7AprilSuzanneMovies

They’ve got a discussion going on over at Cinematical comparing the merits of sci fi films, esp. Star Wars and Serenity. I personally would rather watch Firefly (I have the complete set) over Star Wars, but I might choose Star Wars over Serenity. Of course, I refer only to the original three Star Wars shows.Â

Ready, Set, Write!

6AprilSuzanneWriting

I decided to submit to a RuinsÂ anthology that closes toÂ submissions on April 15th.Â I’ve got a story idea that will be a blast to write and is all plotted out–but it’s yet to beÂ started. Given my usual story word count of around 7 or 8,000 words, after trimming, that means I’ll be writing a total

Things That Go “Beep!” In the Night

5AprilSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Where would the world be without highly useful, helpful, and thoroughly obnoxious gadgets to beep at us? Picture a home.Â All is peaceful and still (save perhaps the squables ofÂ children, but that’s just background noise).Â Then the silence is broken– “Beep!”Â We look up, on alert to place the sound. “Beep!”Â The sound bounces in

Ferret Jerky Recall

4AprilSuzanneHome in the Rookery

The latest round of pet food recalls includes Dingo Chicken Jerky for Ferrets.Â Luckily my carpet sharks prefer another brand–but just in case, I think we’ll lay of the treats for awhile. Can’t imagine why, but I feel no enthusiasm at the thought of witnessing/experiencing salmonella posioning just now.

Roman Numerals

2AprilSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Writing

I don’t know where I was when everyone else was picking up their roman numerals–perhaps making a braided rug from rainbow socks, or befriending a hive of bees–but I wasn’t sorting out the little V’s and X’s. Now, because of the WOTF contest, I want to know what they mean!Â So here’s a link that

Writers of the Future

31MarchSuzanneWriting

I postmarked my Tiger Goddess story to WOTF on this the last day of the 2nd quarter.Â It’s kind of short, but I did give it a twist ending they may like.Â We’ll see. This may sound bad, but my main hope would be to finish at quarter-finalist, just cause that’s what my other stories
