I is for Interesting – or Snerklesome, perhaps
Snerklesome: Snarky Nerdy Smirkable in a Well-rounded Thought-provoking package. Like a groan is to a pun, snerklesome is to a post. A snickered-snort through the nose with a long nod that carries the mind to a satisfying something else.
H is for Hello!
I’m curious but not nosy, intellectual but not a brainiac, active but not an athlete, and an artist through and through. I’m definitely an introvert, but in the last several years I’ve come to appreciate community, and being a active part of one has helped me thrive. Blogging is much about community for me too. I love connecting with people all over the world.
E is for Excited! Feeling Human
Shhh… I just peeked and, You can get the Kindle early since you read this post! It’s up and available now….I’m so Excited to share this story with everyone! *Whispers* Get yours today!
D is for Donuts – Superior Donuts
Nothing inspires me to keep creating like appreciating the end product, talents and hard work of what others have created. Art feeds art. And it was great to support a few of our actors that were cast in our authors group, FVP’s Bard & Starlet production too.
C is for Cramming & Compensation
I am busy Cramming in the last minute edits for the Feeling Human book release on April 12th. I’m hoping this lovely photo I took last week will Compensate for an otherwise basic post. 🙂 I hope to do better for you tomorrow.
B is for Bujold, Lois McMaster Bujold

I sent an email to her last night just before midnight – truly at the eleventh hour – to ask if I could include an excerpt from her novel, …Not only did Lois give permission, she replied to me this morning.
Already Amazed

Conflicting Ideas
In a mere 15 minutes things went from a normal drive home to near chaos. Not much fun when commuting, but absolutely critical when writing. Creating conflict – putting your characters in peril or moral dilemmas or perhaps threatening their relationships – is key to keeping pages turning. Miss Livingstone’s story has been entertaining to me…
Always…
I stand in the valley where I live, in the company of this great mountain, and gasp and sigh. Every day is extraordinary!
Tasty Tunes & All That Jazz
Emmet Cohen Trio’s stop in Snoqualmie Valley (North Bend) last week was a real treat. They brought some 1919 ragtime jazz in with modern phrasing and complex innovation. (Perhaps like Miss Livingstone showed up from 1910 Snoqualmie and walked into Piccola Cellars to sit at my table and jive with me that night!) Add to that, playful humor and…
