There is something about this that just does it for me.

Beautiful Death - A Review

“Luck is a four letter word.”

But oh, how lucky I am to have had the opurtunity to read the ARC for this story. And now I get to share all the lovely details with you fine people!

You all know by now (or atleast, you may have guessed) that my love knows no bounds for Joely Sue Burkhart’s work. If I didn’t know it before, reading Beautiful Death proved it.

This story is nothing like The Rose of Shanhasson. No, this story has a beauty all it’s own. No carbon copies set in a different time here. Joely weaves her worlds, characters, and creatures with such mastry you’re left in a state of complete awe as the tale unfolds.

And this one was a doozey!

Tales for the Troops

The Wandering Author has a marvelous idea.  

The gist involves writting stories for the men and women of the United States Military who are currently deployed. A project he’s tentatively calling Tales for the Troops. 

He also mentions that writers willing to participate should leave a comment on the original post, where you may find further information on the project.

TWA admits that he’s less likely to accept work from those he’s unfamiliar with but I wouldn’t let that deter you. He wants the best (stories) for the troops. Given what I know of quite a few of you who visit my blog on occasion? I’m more than certian you could give that and then some.

Definately go over and take a look, even if it’s only to see what it’s all about or to offer feedback on the idea itself. I’m sure he’d be most appreciative for your thoughts.

Playing With Pixels

Such beautiful photography and I just love the name. Definatly worth a peek! Be sure to say hi while you’re there.

And now for something that doesn’t suck!

Dirge, my story for the 2-year-novel course-Helena’s story- just evolved on me.

Well, more like grew a second head and a few tails and demanded I hold on tight cause the sucker wasn’t slowing down for anything. 

Almost four hours of research and all I can say is-

Well, that sucks…

I recently acquired and fell in love with a short film.

It was subtle yet powerful, and oh-so-deep and inspiring.

I wish I could keep it, but it has to be returned on Monday.

Enigma

See my beloved blog? I even gave you a pretty name. I think it fits nicely with that lovely vector girl up in the left corner.

Yes, your left. Not ours.

You all are going to get real tired of me talking to my blog as if it’s a living organism real fast, aren’t you? *grin*
