musing

  • Half Full

    Today was the day. The Husband and two of the Minions headed off to Montreal to see the Rush concert. (In case you missed how this all happened, I mentioned our plotting here) The house is oddly quiet, but not. Our Boston Terrier, Lilo, is definitely out of sorts. See, I’m what’s often referred to…

  • The progress on the current novel or WIP (Work In Progress) aka ms (short for manuscript) continues. Sort of. I’ve handed in the most recent round of revisions, and now will find something else to do until I hear back from my agent. For me, I’m gonna hang out with the Minions, probably watch a…

  • Scaring A Normie

    I often describe our family as the not-wealthy, Canadian version of the Addams family. It’s a short form that most folks instantly understand, and is more accurate than anything else I’ve been able to come up with. I genuinely wish we had the house, to be honest. There’s something about the Victorian style houses that…

  • To be honest, the entire month of July had me wanting to pull a blanket up over my head and hide under my desk for days at a time. The first issue is our Bessie. Allow me to reassure folks that Bessie is not a person or pet. Bessie is our well loved van. I…

  • Happy Birthday To Me!

    That’s probably the big news, having a birthday. Wheee! Many thanks to my family, for making it a memorable day. Lovely gifts, and plans to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower one evening this week. In celebration (or acknowledgement) of the occasion, I’m setting some goals for the next year. Goals Before my next birthday, I…

  • I’m not as active on social media as I could (probably should) be. I pop in and out like a demented jack-in-the-box because my energy levels vary wildly… and because life has forced my feral house goblin self to be social for the last two weeks and *gasp* leave the house. That said, I’ve heard…

  • Week’s End

    Whew. It’s been a heck of a week here. Sunday saw us loaded into the people mover to travel two hours away to an ‘entertainment centre’ to celebrate the youngest’s birthday. I put ‘entertainment centre’ in quotes, because I’m fairly certain that if you’re over the age of, say, twenty-five, it’s more like a full-on…

  • That’s what publishing can feel like, regardless of if you’re going trad, indie, or hybrid. And it’s true: the only way to get it done is to do it. Not exactly helpful, is it? The way my mind works, I’m happiest if I have a step-by-step guide. Do A, B, C, then D, E, F…
