Being poly, it’s difficult to explain the situation sometimes. (In our case, Sir and I don’t live together, though, and we’re an N-quad.) But people who are poly are, frankly, commonly just as boring as monogamous couples. It’s about what’s
A little positivity, please?
I’m desperately trying not to turn Grumpy Cat into my spirit animal. I really am. Tropical cyclones in the Pacific. Another brouhaha on social media pitting an A-list author against a smaller author who had a good point but then

The “secret” to making it as a writer.
What is the “secret” to making it as a writer? The sooper-dooper highly classified secret? There is no secret. That’s the secret. All the knowledge is out there. Write, edit, release, repeat. There is no gaming the system, just a
The glamorous life of a writer…not.
So you think being a writer is all about the fun stuff, right? (Ha!) For most of us, it’s more because we’re driven to write. In my case, not only am I driven to write, I have to because it’s
Why do we need the Oxford comma?
If you’re wondering WHY we need the Oxford comma… Last time I checked, Nelson Mandela–even when alive–was not an 800-year-old demigod who collected dildos. (Although that might have been an interesting side note to his biography if he were…)

I’ve been griping all day why I couldn’t get warm despite being bundled up and having a space heater in my office, and the thermostat on the furnace reading 73. (This is an old house. And remember, I’m in FLORIDA.)
