Post Secret, how I love thee. So, here’s how it works. Every Sunday, Frank (of Post Secret) posts a series of post cards he received through the mail. Each one of them, each anonymous one of them, tells a secret. They’re beautifully made pieces of art that expose a corner of the sender’s soul or life. Some people find the site depressing, even disturbing. And some of the post cards can be. But I am so in love with the idea of freeing yourself from something you’re ashamed of. So ashamed, in fact, you’ve let it take over your life. Just put it out thereRead More →

I don’t care who you are, there’s some perverse pride in writing in a notebook like this. It says, loud and proud, though without actually speaking, “Yeah. I’m probably writing dirty sex scenes. You gotta problem with that?” Or something like that. Maybe that’s just me, your mileage my vary.Read More →

I want to apologize for being MIA for so long. I had some issues with my internet provider… and by issues I mean they canceled my internet and the four subsequent orders for service. I finally gave up and went with someone else. Very good. And then I lost a dear friend suddenly. She was my first reader. And I don’t mean first reader as in the first person I showed my stuff to, I mean my first reader ever. Of course, losing my reader isn’t the thing… it’s that she’s the first person I ever felt safe exposing myself that way. I said this,Read More →

A lot of writer’s use Tarot cards to jumpstart their imagination while brainstorming or even battle writer’s block. Hey, I’ll try anything. I found the most adorable, grrl inspired (with a little retro TV flair thrown in for fun). You can view a good bit of the deck here and purchase them here: Vanessa Tarot. They even come with a booklet to help you understand what each card means. *08.15.2011– I finally bought these cards.  Here’s an update on my initial use for writing.Read More →

Much as I am afraid you’ll see this, rush over to modcloth.com and buy them all, I have to share how adorable this wallet (and dozens of others) are. My only consolation is that I probably don’t have enough readers to overwhelm the warehouse there. At any rate, go look at this and all the other fantastic products–some one of a kind. And yes, Mom. This would make a fabulous birthday gift. Sorry, that wallet is, in fact, no longer available.  The link now takes you to a plethora of wallet and bag choices.Read More →

I know, it’s the newest “thing.” Maybe not the newest, but doesn’t everyone have one? I’ll admit, before I got mine, I’d see those commercials, with the people clipping them on and dancing like somehow this teeny musicmaker would inspire anyone to become so free of inhibitions, they’d just dance through the streets (and dance well!). And yet, I thought, “How often would I really use it? I don’t exercise, if I can help it. So what’s the point? I use my ipod shuffle daily. And, honestly, the clip-on feature is probably my favorite part. It keeps it safe and out of the way, sure.Read More →

Okay, I’m not up to the level of fugging punniliciousness as these fuggers, but I tried. Go Fug Yourself, if you feel like wasting a few minutes making fun of very badly dressed (and occasionally nipple-flashing!) celebrities.Read More →

Dry-Erase Board,36 x 24 A white board lets you think out loud, without the crazy. You can brainstorm on it, like it’s your job (which it sort of is); you can study your structure because it gives you this surface big enough to lay out an entire act, scene by scene (or mine, at this size does–I drool for one of the really big ones); and, when you’re not using it, and if you have kids, it can keep them occupied while you try to squeeze in just a few more minutes to write. I promise, once you go white board, you’ll never go back.Read More →

Every Thursday, I’ll be adding links to sites that I enjoy or find offensive (or both, who doesn’t love both!) or find just plain unbelievable. This isn’t the blogroll and this isn’t sites to see (which are purely writing related). These are just sites that caught my attention. If you have an idea for one, email me or post it in the comments. The category name is a shout out to those Orbit gum commercials, which I find hilarious. If you’ve never seen it, keep your eyes open, and you will. And then you will laugh, inappropriately. Since this is, in fact, Friday we’ll startRead More →

Every Monday, I’ll post a link to a product (or service) I either already own or drool for daily. If you have recommendations, tack them on in the comments. I’d love to find new toys tools for myself!Read More →
