It’s hard to believe it has been almost a month since the event with Poe. To say that I fell into a depression is an understatement. What happened with Poe, coupled with the traumatic discovery of a profound breach of trust with someone else in my life that same night,… Continue Reading Coming Back to Life
Free writing, or “stream-of-consciousness” writing, is an interesting exercise that not only breaks through writer’s block, but often reveals thoughts and feelings on a topic we might not even be aware we had. The point of a free write session is to not censor yourself. You start with a prompt,… Continue Reading NaBloPoMo Friday Free Write – Technology

Dude. I don’t know about you, but I find this bicycle toilet decal to be WAY better than the usual fluffy, flowery, gaudy or just plain stooopid toilet adornments that have been the status quo for FAR too long. Don’t be fooled into thinking that toilet art is dead. No.… Continue Reading Velvet Verbosity’s Etsy Find of the Week – Toilet Graphics

I’ve seen and encountered many interesting things and people over the last couple of weeks, and now that I am finally here in front of my computer, I can’t recall any of them.

You know, when I proposed this theme for November, I didn’t have a clue what it would actually be about. And I still don’t. I mean, I could have us all go live in the woods for the day and write about how terribly wonderful it was to live without… Continue Reading NaBloPoMo Thoreau Thursday – Maybe I do, Maybe I Don’t Advocate You Not Paying Your Taxes

A writing meme in November?

No Internet, this is not a… Continue Reading Wednesday Word Portrait – This is the Part Where I Give Away Magic Secrets, and No, This Post is Not About Werewolves

Day 3 of NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo. Yes, that means I am now participating in both. I’ve just recklessly made my entire month of November a full on write-a-palooza! Besides the daily postings, the daily 1600+ words on a novel, I’m also working on three copywriting gigs. Internet, let me help… Continue Reading This is the Part Where My Head Pops Off
I guess I’m still in Halloween mode. Maybe it’s because I have one more party to go to. If I’m going to be accurate here it’s a Dia de los Muertos – Day of the Dead party. And Dia de los Muertos is pretty different from Halloween in history and… Continue Reading Velvet Verbosity’s Blog Find of the Week

NaNoWriMo is under way, and I’m on my second night of writing. Made it to 1656 words last night, and shooting for another 2500-3000 tonight. I’ll be meeting with a regional group at a cafe tonight for a write-in. Sounds delicious and old school artsy, right? Like we’ll all be… Continue Reading NaNoWriMo = Insane Fun
No 100 words of my own this week because I’ve just done something completely insane. Yes, I’ve gone and done it. I’ve joined National Novel Writing Month. Oh, are you insane too? Good, let’s be writing buddies. My pick of the week is Lessa who manages to capture dialect particularly… Continue Reading 100 Words on Falter
