Happy Friday!

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Sorry for the lack of posts this week; it’s been sort of an emotional upheaval, but I’m over it.  I already know I’m not the best student, but I do try and when it doesn’t work out quite like I think it will I revert back to my high school days and all the insecurity [...]

Interview With Author Kate Evans

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Kate Evans was introduced to me by Patricia Harrelson who, if you’ll recall, I interviewed about her book Between Two Women: Conversations About Love & Relationships back in August.  Kate is a prolific writer who has three books available:  a non fiction book called Negotiating the Self: Identity, Sexuality, and Emotion in Learning to Teach,  [...]

Update on Author Patricia Harrelson

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Some of you may remember my interview with Patricia Harrelson, author of Between Two Women: Conversations About Love & Relationships back in August.  (The four-part interview can be seen by clicking on the following links:  Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV.) There are now a couple of interviews available in addition to mine:  [...]

A Conversation With Author James Salter

Monday, October 6th, 2008

I made a promise to myself when I knew I was going to be spending a year in Scotland – I would not make the same mistake I made while earning my BA and focus solely on my studies.  I would get out and learn about whatever came up and held an interest for me. [...]

New Writing Added

I just added a link to a new piece on Triond. Check out London for Book Lovers.

The Good and the Bad

Monday, February 25th, 2008

I think I’ll start this Monday off with the bad news: That being that I finally heard back from Playscripts, Inc. and they declined to pick up Bethany and the Belfry Bat. A bit disheartening, but it’s not the first rejection slip I’ve gotten, so my weekend mourning period is over. I haven’t decided what [...]

A Writer, I Am

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

A recent post by a new online friend (and coincidentally a co-author over at The Grammar Police), made me give some thought to my own struggle with identifying myself as a writer and what I need, and very rarely ask for, as a writer. I used to think that I could never refer to myself [...]

Born of Frustration, Take II

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

It’s raining today, which is kind of nice. It’s not as joy-producing as snow, but I make do with what I have. I’m just thankful it’s not hot! Just a couple of updates this morning: I’ve been looking for different ways to try to bring in a bit of extra income – with Scotland looming [...]

There’s a First Time For Everything

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

This morning I did something that I haven’t ever done before: submitted my play, Bethany and the Belfry Bat for consideration at Playscripts.com. I’ve been writing off and on for years, but haven’t ever seriously worked to use my writing as a venue for income. If truth be told, I’m a bit squeamish when it [...]

The End is Near

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

No, I don’t mean the end of the world.  I mean the end of writing my play.  I’m down to the final tweaking edits – I did some this morning, and I’m waiting to hear back from a couple of people I sent it to for their comments.  Once I get those, I’ll make the [...]
