Notes From Juarez

I'm typing In Real Time on April 17, 2017 at 1:34pm Central Standard Time. Today's process is to take this large white box of office-related items I hadn't unpacked since the Treehouse and unload everything where it needs to be. I found one of my many composition notebooks, a work I started back in Texas … Continue reading Notes From Juarez

Sweet Lurline, Did You Just Pet Me??

Here I thought I had a sure project: a handyman I met through my neighbors eager for me to work with him on increasing visibility for his mobile business. Currently he's using Craigslist, but wants to get beyond that in order to attract a more reliable clientele and demonstrate credibility.

Happy Anniversary, Johnny Saucedo! WE DID IT!

My first book signing. We ran out of books. I actually had to run out to my car for the two books I had in the backseat; luckily, leftovers from an earlier attempt at guerrilla marketing. The last fourteen months of my life living dollar to dollar so I can get published, and now I'm holding 10s … Continue reading Happy Anniversary, Johnny Saucedo!

National Poetry Month 2015! Poem It Up Fridays

Highlights From Afternoon Tea at Sawgrass

Many thanks to Susan Bridges, owner and operator of Sawgrass Bar, for another successful literary-fueled event! She hosted an afternoon tea with a vegan cuisine tasting last Saturday and man, was that spread fantastic. I enjoyed a warm, honeyed white tea, a decaf version of a minty, spicy oolong, and the party rocker itself, a … Continue reading Highlights From Afternoon Tea at Sawgrass

Usually by mid-Week 2 of NaNoWriMo, the WriMos in my immediate vicinity start to peter out for various reasons.
