I’m pretty jazzed about fans4writers.com. As a wannabe writer-but-mostly-blogger I felt compelled to learn more about the WGA strike currently going on. It’s not a good thing, this strike, and it will affect so many people. I feel bad that it came to this but I also feel a slight sense of solidarity for the [...]
Blogs blogs bogs
I’m falling down on the bloggin’ thang. I was doing so well too. Actually I sort of created more “work” for myself this afternoon when I decided to leap blindly into writing an ‘Inside the Newsroom‘ type blog for the paper.

Ficlets
I know you’re probably sick to death of me going on and on about how much I dig Wil Wheaton (and I don’t mean that in a stalkery fangirl kind of way either. I reserve that behaviour for James Marsters, Kiefer Sutherland and David Boreanaz ) No I just count myself lucky that I found [...]

Vets, Vultures & Vampires, Oh my!
Heh. Some dude just emailed me and offered to buy my 24addict.com domain name for 60 bucks. I scoffed. Sixty measly dollars for a domain I’ve owned for over 5 years and tended to like it was my own child? What a dolt. It’s up for renewal in a few weeks but this is the [...]
