Busy summer
We all could write that same headline. I just wanted to update y’all on what’s been going on since I got my bermudas in a bunch over Uhura.
Trip to Virginia
A friend and I went to Virginia for the Hunt Country Stable Tour. I’m milking the trip for all it’s worth for posts for The Horsey [...]
Oh no – not “You Betcha!”
We all have words or phrases we overuse. Or use in certain circumstances.
I used to use “You bet!” or “You betcha!” for those moments when I am agreeing but have reservations. And not “the good kind” of reservations that come with menus and waiters.
Usually, I say it if I’m trying to feign enthusiasm, either to [...]
A New Start to the Day
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
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
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
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, [...]
Part of a Entertainment Distribution Revolution?
As part of the fallout from the Writers Guild of America strike, some entertainment content producers are using the Internet to reach their viewers directly.
Among them is producer/writer Joss Whedon (of TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly). His upcoming mini-series “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” will be releasing in installments over the Internet. For [...]
Confessions of an Occasional Blogger
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, [...]
Newbie Mistress of My Domain
Late last year, I finally snagged my name as a domain. Someone who shares that name must have let it slip through her fingers. Claiming it was satisfying, but I can’t help wondering about her. Is she out there somewhere kicking herself? I would be.
But mostly now, I’m in the process of coming up with [...]
RSS to the Rescue?
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. [...]
