I’m leaving for British Columbia, Canada in a few days and will stay until mid-October when it gets cold. Cluculz Lake is where my husband and I built a log-stick house in 1992. Of course we had help, but we were hands-on. If you’ve read my bio, you’ll know we sold that house and moved to our property across the …
It’s that wonderful time again, the time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group day, compliments of our very own fierce and noble Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh. If you think this group sounds like a good place for you and you’d like to join, click here. It’s a simple process: “Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts …
I feel as if I’ve been neglecting my duties as a blogger and follower this past week. Winter slowed my reflexes and left me in a bit of a slump. But guess what? The ice is off the lake! Yay! I took the above picture around 9 this morning. Look how fast it went off. See how it’s opening up …
Winter is Beautiful Magical Lonely A time to rest by the fire, because outside it’s bitterly cold! This is what it looked like when the sun came up yesterday. It appeared we were surrounded by a grey wall. My husband went out and shoveled. An hour later… It hasn’t let up. For …
I read Carol Garvin’s blog this morning and it gave me the idea for today’s post. What really matters in life. If I could lift our house up and move it 3000 miles to New Brunswick, I would. But sometimes, no matter how much you want something, it’s just not feasible. We raised our 5 sons in the highlands of …
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Penticton last week. Had a great time at the En’owkin Centre. However I came home to find our baby, 17-year-old Pretty Boy, missing. That’s all I can say about him for the moment, I’m still too choked up. He was a precious cat with the sweetest disposition. I also came home to a glitch in …
The 2012 Global eBook Awards announced the winners this morning. No, I didn’t win, but it gave me an idea for a post, which probably sounds weird. You see, I try not to blog about disappointments. With so many struggling writers out there, it feels wrong to reiterate how published writers have bad days too. You already know that: no …
Our home of twenty years has been under construction since the first of March. No sooner do I think we’re nearing completion and something else needs to be done. Most recently we replaced the railing in the loft with a half-wall. What I like best about the change is that we turned the area into an actual room… and because …
Q: If authors want to self-publish, how do they choose between the overwhelming array of self-publishing options for books and ebooks? Excellent question – and one for which there is no answer. But there are some signposts to consider on this particular path. Here are my notes by category on some of the options now available (and remember that this …
You can’t tell unless you look closely, but the ice is so clear it’s almost invisible. But it’s there. No, it’s not going away fast enough. Someone was so anxious to get out on the water yesterday, that they were spotted boating along the edge where the water’s open. I’m not that brave. I’d get out there and the wind …
