(Note: This post was copied from my blogspot blog, The Daily B, where it was originally published, so I guess what was divided is now unified again.) You might or might not have noticed that I have been writing less about writing on this blog. It does not mean I am writing less about writing … Read more
This blog is going to look pretty funky for a few days–or maybe weeks or months. I’m in the process of trying to build a website around the blog, which seems like a good idea–but I’m not exactly sure how. So I’ll be experimenting with the whole thing, and hopefully not deleting seven years’ worth … Read more
When I first understood I had endometrial cancer, the first place I turned was the internet. Before I reached out to friends or family in the 3-D world, I reached for my computer. Granted, I was sitting in a room with no people and a computer–but regardless–the internet was where I took my fears–searching for … Read more
One of my favorite blogs came to an end today. It’s not listed in my sidebar, because…well actually I’m not sure why… Maybe it wasn’t public? If you follow this link, does it take you anywhere? If so, that’s her blog, you should check out a few entries while it’s still up. I read this … Read more
I think I’ve made an unconscious but very deliberate decision to blow off most of the things I should be doing today. Things like looking high and low for a lost paycheck (I’ll probably still do that), gathering and copying a dozen different documents required for a loan application to refinance my little condo (maybe … Read more
Best thing anyone has ever said about this blog: “it makes me feel less alone in the world.” The least best, but somewhat thought-provoking thing anyone has said about this blog lately: “I don’t want you to quote things I say on your blog.” Which I kind of just did–but I paraphrased. And I won’t … Read more
Over time, I’ve been narrowing my own sense of what this blog is—and as I’ve probably alluded to a few times, it’s pretty much just about the world as I experience it, and my experiencing of the world. That seems pretty simple, and so in general I’ve maintained (to myself if not publicly) the idea … Read more
1) Other writing. Or is it guilt about other writing? Largely, I feel that if I am at my computer, I should be working on one of the several scripts with December deadlines. Yesterday, I signed my first official writing contract, and it was SCARY. It’s for a woman who’s in the producing program at … Read more
So this morning I thought I’d take a few minutes to add a couple new links (see sidebar). However, in the process, I think I accidentally erased a chunk of code at the top of my page…so that when I published, the page was naked code, with no formatting, really yucky. My HTML is really … Read more
I have now been tagged twice for a meme that asks me to post 5 things that people probably don’t know about me. Once by my friend Sandra and the other by my friend Matt, who has the Zotblog…but who also has this blog where he actually posted his five things. One is that when … Read more
