I’m trying to learn formal logic. Don’t laugh! Stop laughing! I am. I’m reading a stack of books now on logic, fallacies, syllogism (which I can barely spell), and, you know, stuff. Why am I torturing myself like this? Every writer’s ice burg: research. Ice burg because research is the ginormous amount of time and [...]
I spent all winter squirreling away scraps from our over-stressed finances until I had enough $$$ to attend this workshop, David Garrigues coming to a city not far from the yurt, well, maybe 45 minutes or so. And the weekend has finally arrived! I’m so excited.
Hidden eggs have been found, re-hidden, found again. Chocolate has been unwrapped from its little foil wrappers and eaten and then the little foil wrappers have been painstakingly smoothed out for nonspecific future projects by Sophie (?!). Board games are currently being played, cutthroat Go Fish, high [...]
This morning was a Fuck This Fucking Shit morning. You know those mornings. The ones when you can’t remember a single viable reason why you do any of the shit you usually do. Like, holy crap, who cares, right???
For example, “I’m not doing yoga,” I announced to no one. “Fuck yoga. Yoga sucks. Nobody [...]
Camping was a massive whirlwind of non-stop action followed by total collapse. We went to the North Carolina mountains with four other families, all with lovely home-schooled kids that Sophie and Luc adore, and all who spent the two days of the trip is a state of vibrating mania and exploding happiness that just barely [...]
We’re going camping with several family friends of ours this weekend. How did I let this happen? The kids are so excited they are vibrating in anticipation, ready to fire off into the sky if they have to wait any longer. I’m not sure what they’re expecting that sounds so great to them. Maybe just [...]
Paul and I have been watching the occasional Green Room with much hilarity and interest, a show where several comics hang out in the middle of an audience and talk to each other, or be funny at each other, or something. It’s a bit of a comics talking shop with each other and [...]
Ashtanga folk are known, well, for many things, ahem, but one of those things is their typical disdain for props. For those of you non-yogi types, props are things like blocks, straps, and blankets that yoga practitioners might use to help them get into a pose that they can’t quite manage yet, such as placing [...]
So it turns out I’m quite good at giving away books. Conjuring Raine was downloaded 5700 times, not record breaking by any stretch, but still, a nice number. At one point Sophie and I were sitting here talking, and every couple of minutes she would say, “check it!” and I would hit refresh and a [...]
There is still time to get a free copy of Conjuring Raine! Join the throngs—Raine is the #1 download in Fantasy and Contemporary Fantasy, and is #45 at the moment in the whole Kindle free store, woo hoo!
And now for laughs….

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage
