Connecticut Muse

My winning book review has been published in the Summer 2007 edition of Connecticut Muse, though that issue is not yet available on the Web site. I read it over again and was surprised by how good it was. I can be insightful when I want to. I haven’t had a chance to do more [...]

It’s been a while, I know, but in my defense, the wedding blog is going strong. James and I just finished watching “Good Night, And Good Luck”. I didn’t know much about Edward R. Murrow before tonight, except that he took on McCarthy. This movie blew my mind. Murrow’s prose is amazing and moving. I [...]

Whew. Our three weekends away in a row are now over. We went to Cape Cod for James’s birthday, then to my reunion at Loomiss and then to Chesapeake, Virginia, for James’s sister’s high school graduation.

A friend of mine, Jaci Holcomb, died last week in a horrendous car wreck. I heard about the accident long before I put two and two together and figured out it was her. When I finally did, I pretty much broke down. I had already put the press release out of my mind because the [...]

Wow. Over a month since my last post. Sorry about that. We are moved, which is incredible, and which I will blame for my recent dearth of posts. Moving is a huge undertaking, which I supposed doesn’t need to be said. But you just don’t realize how hard it is until you do it. I’ve [...]

I am not the only writer who finds inspiration in water. Elizabeth Bear, a sci-fi writer based in West Hartford, swears it is dissolved in tap water: In other news, I’m pleased to say that the well-known phenomenon of inspiration being found dissolved in common tap water, especially when the water is on the warmish [...]

In light of winning first prize in the book review contest, I’m seriously considering entering the personal essay contest. The deadline is May 31 and the topic is discovery. I have no ideas right now, but first prize is $75. That would be nice. I’m feeling a little stuck on the freelance side of things. [...]

Abandonment

It’s been quite a while, huh? I’ve been boring people over at my livejournal with all my dieting and wedding plans, so this more formal journal has been a bit neglected. I do want to note a few things, though, just so that I have them in writing. I sent in a query letter to [...]
