Cooking for Ninjas: Pizza
Every so often, my brother asks me if I’ve written anything involving ninjas. This is probably not what he meant. Hey there, Hungry Ninja. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking you’re hungry, but pizza? Pffft. That’s not ninja food. Because, after all, the origins of the ninja path and the pizza foodstuff do…

Look, I have a dog!
She, and the extensive walking/exercise and obedience training involved in Being a Good Dog Owner, is one of my many excuses for not writing. Other excuses include: I discovered Dollhouse is on Netflix streaming and am currently going through the episodes. I’m also going through Bones on Netflix streaming. I’m rereading The Hunger Games…

Miscellany Monday Presents How to Not Make Pumpkin Gnocchi
…in several rambling steps. 1 Foster a deep love of winter squash, pumpkin in particular, that leads to compulsive purchase of the gourds at grocery stores and farmers market, even though you receive more than enough vegetables through your CSA and will supposedly receive winter squash from the CSA in the near future. Develop collection…

Writerly soul searching
What with my near-continuous lack of writing, both in terms of my blog and with fiction, I’ve been doing some writerly soul searching.

Miscellany Monday: Where I’m at
*Watches tumbleweeds drift across her site* Well, so much for my goal of updating my blog twice a week. Epic fail on my part. I should really edit my home page since it erroneously claims I post regularly. Whoops. At any rate, here’s where I’m at in regards to writing: My WIP from NaNo remains…

Promotions and raises are good!
…particularly when they occur just in time for me to seriously consider getting in on the first-time homebuyer tax credit. Which means my writing is, sadly, taking a backseat for the moment to number crunching and researching of various loans and housing options. I do have a goal, though, to finish Disenchantment by the end…

Smells like spam (but with a certain je ne sais quoi)
I should probably apologize for not blogging in so long, but it’s my blog, so I don’t have to. Makes me feel all mighty and powerful in a world where my control is small and finite. Or something. Anyway, I moderate all my comments so as to prevent the vast body of spammers from infiltrating…

Hiatus
Well, my regularity in posting has been slipping anyway, but I will be on hiatus from the blog until the new year. Except for marking as spam all the submitted comments in Russian I keep getting. Believe me, I have no interest in the website “macrosoft.” Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Titles are overrated
Post titles, that is. Were authors to stop titling their books, leaving blank spine after blank spine on the shelves of my local Borders, there would be havoc. Geeky, bibliophiliac havoc, which I suppose isn’t as havoc-like as what one might find at an anarchist meeting, but still. Havoc of a sort. So titles are…
