Twittery for Writers

Posted on March 31, 2009. Filed under: blogs |

A couple of months ago, when my blogging mentors recommended that we bloggers-in-training join Twitter, I signed up with doubts.

It’s for kids.
It’s for kids who text on Blackberries.
It’s a time suck.
“What I’m doing” is nobody’s beeswax!

It’s where “posts” are “Tweets.” And I’m a “Tweeple” identified with an @ sign in front of my name. And [...]

Slow and steady

Posted on December 14, 2008. Filed under: blogs | Tags: |

My other blog is almost five months old now.  That’s pretty good, since I wasn’t going to get it online until after November.
It doesn’t have a lot of readers yet, but the readers I have enjoy it. Some of them “don’t read other blogs,” as they tell me via email. And they don’t know how to [...]

Equus – How did he manage that?

Posted on November 20, 2008. Filed under: blogs, horse stories | Tags: , |

Over on The Horsey Set, I posted a review of Equus. What I didn’t cover is what inquiring minds want to know about the practicalities of staging.
How did the 19-year-old Daniel Radcliffe manage to remain “uninspired” during his simulated sex scene with the lovely Anna Camp’s character?
After all, Radcliffe is a teen-age boy, a walking [...]

A New Start to the Day

Posted on September 23, 2008. Filed under: blogs, writing | Tags: , , |

This is how my mornings used to start.
Around dawn, Max the cat would come get me. He would whimper or meow. Or knock knick-knacks off the dresser. Or chase one of the other cats in a hissing screaming yowl down the hall.
So, I’d get up but not be able to go back to sleep. I [...]

Joining the Equus Posse

Posted on September 3, 2008. Filed under: blogs, writing | Tags: , , , , |

Yes, I’ve joined the bajillion newsies making bad puns about Daniel Radcliffe (yes, Harry Potter) soon to appear nude on Broadway in Equus.
Not only that, I’ve bought tickets, too. I go in late October.
I’m a little suprised that I did. I had considered the ballyhooed nude scene So Much Hype. So many young stars decide [...]

FTP Follies – learning as I go

Posted on August 21, 2008. Filed under: TheHorseySet.Net, blogs, writing | Tags: , , , |

I’ve neglected this blog as I wrap up BISW (or, more accurately, Book in Eight Weeks) and fine-tune the look on The Horsey Set Net .
I think I got about 64 additional pages done on BISW. Not exactly a book, but it’s good progress and I forged ahead into the dreaded Act III. I now [...]

Fadtastic Blog Renovations

Posted on July 28, 2008. Filed under: blogs, writing |

Yes, I’ve re-decorated the blog.
Actually, I’m trying out this WordPress theme. It’s called Fadtastic, and it’s one of the free themes. Once I get my horse blog up, I plan to use this theme until I can afford some blog-designing artiste to wave the magic mouse and transform it into a unique virtual place.
Until then, [...]

Confessions of an Occasional Blogger

Posted on June 12, 2008. Filed under: blogs, writing | Tags: , |

I seem to be falling behind with this blogging thing. My last entry was three weeks ago. Uh oh.
However, the novel I’m writing is making excellent progress. I have no idea how authors, especially those with the book-a-year contract, juggle both. The longer I do this, the more impressed I am with that end product, [...]

WordPress Changes

Posted on April 10, 2008. Filed under: WordPress, blogs | Tags: , , |

I know it’s been a few days since I blogged, but dang! I come back to tap out some posts and see that my Dashboard looks different. I feel like Rip Van Winkle waking up — and missing his 8-track when everyone else is wearing an iPod.
Come to find out, I haven’t posted for ten [...]

RSS to the Rescue?

Posted on March 9, 2008. Filed under: blogs, writing | Tags: , |

Photo by Rhonda Lane
I try to keep up with my favorite blogs but it can be tough. Real Life gets in the way of Virtual Life.
So, it’s RSS to the rescue. Because I don’t check my Google and Yahoo accounts often, I have it sent to my main email. Apparently not all blogs do that. [...]
