Messing about with empathy
Last Saturday afternoon, I had a computer snafu that was more annoying than destroying. I thought I would talk about it here so that you won’t be surprised if it happens to you. On Friday, I got a message that Microsoft wanted to do an update and restart my computer. I put it off until…
I placed my hold at the library for the newest J. D. Robb book, Shadow In Death late, so I was number 39. The book came out last September, and my number came up last Friday. I like to read these books in one day if not one sitting, so I’ll be closed for reading…
Happy Cook Something Bold Day! We have a lot of halibut left from our trip to Alaska last year, and as much as I love it breaded and fried, that isn’t really healthy, so we’ve been making fish tacos instead. Hubby found a recipe on the internet, and it included a sauce for the tacos.…
Happy Book Lovers Day!!! I know a lot of book lovers. It’s fun to discuss books with other people and learn about new books. I’ll never finish my TBR pile, but that’s okay. Better to have too many books to read than too few. Every book starts with a writer, and every writer starts by…
I like to complete my Christmas cards in November so that I can mail them out right after Thanksgiving. I know, weird. Since Hubby went on a buying spree in January a couple of years ago and bought a ton of on sale Christmas cards, I don’t have to buy any now. However, I do…
On September 27, I talked about a very long sci-fi book I was reading. This was out of my reading comfort zone both in genre and length, but I was intrigued, so I gave it a try. Well, I finished the book today (I had worried that it would take me to December), and all I…
Nanowrimo is going well, and the main reason for that is the sprints. These used to be called word wars, but now it’s less about competition and more about writing for a set amount of time. We’re doing our group writing on Discord, and the bot starts and stops the sprints. I love writing as…
Have you ever commented about digging down to China? Or when you were a kid, did you think about digging to the other side of the planet and ending up in China? Well, for most of us, we would be disappointed. Obviously, no one can dig through the middle of the earth since you’d die…
Wow! November poems are depressing. I couldn’t find a single one that was cheerful. The closest I found is the last one below. I like November. It’s full-on fall with lots of rain and wind but without the Christmas madness. Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday, so that helps. I don’t get why poets are…
Happy National Author’s Day. Today’s authors were yesterday’s budding writers. All writers need support, so the Lewis County Writers Guild is doing a campaign to raise money for The Lewis County Writers Guild – Doyle McKim Legacy Annual Scholarship, our annual writing scholarship for a student at Centralia College, in Centralia, Washington. Usually, we organize a…
