Before I get into the craziness that has been October (it’s literally impossible for it to get much crazier at this point), I have a few things to mention: First – I’m running a fundraiser for a friend who has had some really hard times the past year. You can read her story, and donate…
I’ve been following The Survival Mom for a little while now, as well as a few other ‘prepping’ bloggers. If you don’t know what prepping is, it’s basically being prepared. You know, like the Boy Scouts, except for major disasters. Please don’t think I’m crazy. Because I’m not. See, the time it would have been great…
On the Ferret Blog – In which I discuss some of my health and writing related struggles a bit. Er, a lot.
FIRST! Big news will be coming soon – are you signed up for my newsletter? You need to be! Especially if you’re curious about what’s been happening with the A-Zs of Worldbuilding! Um. So. Summer happened. I’m not quite sure how the last month passed as quickly as it did. Floofers (baby chicks) are doing…
So we’ve had a project ‘brewing’ for a few weeks. At the beginning of June, I noticed that Henrietta (our hen that internally lays) was broody. It was a bit of a surprise, because she’s four years old, and she’s a red sex-link (a hybrid breed) and they rarely go broody. Looking back, I realized…
Originally published at blackanddarknight.wordpress.com on September 30, 2011. I’ve had one of those weeks – one where I set out to be super productive and ended up accomplishing very little. I meant to have a short story edited and sent to my (new and many!) critique partners. Didn’t happen. There’s still tomorrow, right? Except for…
Earlier this spring, someone in my local urban farming group on Facebook shared about a free online permaculture course that was going to take place over four weeks in May. Like a… typical student enrolled in an online course, I waited until week two-ish to even start on anything, and did not finish the course because…
Not too long ago, I shared my concerns about Donald Trump should he become either the GOP nominee or, God forbid, the President of the United States. I can’t believe I had to type a sentence like that in my lifetime, or the one I’m about to. I can’t believe our political system has become…
This post first appeared blackanddarknight.wordpress.com on January 15, 2012. Keep your heart with all diligence For out of it spring the issues of life. ~ Proverbs 4:23 NKJV What does it mean to “keep your heart with all diligence?” Perhaps first we need to know what it means that “out of it spring the issues…
I’m stuck in that weird non-momentum phase where everything is still really busy but it feels like there’s no progress being made, especially on the things I really want to do. Like blogging, and writing, and crafty things. I keep finding really awesome sewing patterns on Pinterest, too, but I haven’t touched my sewing machine…
