The Terrible 2s

Today is Poems & Paragraphs’ 2nd birthday. Oh, my Glob! Thank you, David Bowie! You’re awesome, too. Almost as awesome as my readers, friends, and partners in crime. I’ve met some terrific talent and beautiful souls here on WordPress–people who I look forward to crossing paths with every day. Rather than celebrate the birth of

Life as a Writer: part 2×3

Upon completion of “Magpie in August,” my debut novel, I began submitting to the literary agents I had researched (authors who want to go for traditional publishing should always research literary agents and houses before sending query letters).

Sláinte Mhath!

15 April, 2016, I published a dreary poem–my first post here on WordPress–now celebrating its first birthday. Nuts to me, I didn’t even bake a cake. A glass of wine will have to do–a slutty jam jar of blackberry Merlot. Tastes like Sunday Mass. Eternally October In his dreams, she dances In and out of

Do Me a Solid: seeking suggestions

I have been considering reconstructing my blog on a considerable scale for the past several months. As one of my friends put it, my blog is aesthetically “sedate,” and I am not a sedate person. Years ago, I had a blog titled Polythene Pam: ravings of a mad woman, named so after my alter persona.

200!

I am so pleased and honored to announce this blogger milestone! Thanks to all who read me, and support my passion for writing. I am surrounded here by so many great writers and artists, and kind, thought provoking friends. I am inspired every day by you, and touched squarely in my heart by all the
