PEOPLE: Aging

Posted on November 6, 2003 by Susan

WRITING: Truth

Posted on November 5, 2003 by Susan

I am elbow-deep into a very interesting exercise for a storyteller; learning to tell lies in another language. Short writing assignments in Spanish have been difficult for me because I don’t yet know the vocabulary well enough to find the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

PEOPLE: Mind Games

Posted on November 5, 2003 by Susan

Just tried to play an interesting experiment in my head (see guys, games don’t couple up just with literature, but with science as well) as I was driving home this morning. I’d say a common noun as quickly as I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

EDUCATION: By Degrees

Posted on November 5, 2003 by Susan

INTERACTIVE FICTION: A Carrot on A Stick

Posted on November 4, 2003 by Susan

I must organize my time to accomplish some measure of doneness to both the wannados and the haftados. I haven’t had the chance to go back to Anchorhead and get in much deeper than I’ve gone before. It’s like that … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING: Blogging

Posted on November 4, 2003 by Susan

Have been playing leapblog since five a.m. Yes, of course I do it all the time, but just one concerted effort without being sidetracked was this morning’s goal. In a search for interesting logs, for writers who moved me, for … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING: Perception

Posted on November 3, 2003 by Susan

Our self-image is often so very different than as others may perceive us. This morning’s shower revealed much more to me than the usual shock of middle-agedness. I am an addict and so am marked. My arms reveal tracks of … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Reality?: It’s In The Cards

Posted on November 3, 2003 by Susan

Early morning playing of Solitaire indicates that today will not be a good day. I used to apply this barometer to the stock market, and must defend its ability to predict at least as well as the Wall Street jocks. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

PEOPLE: Family

Posted on November 3, 2003 by Susan

My sister just got back from visiting my niece in Seattle. She brought me back a huge ripe red pomegranate. We were at my dad’s yesterday when she handed it to me, and he said, “You always loved those.” But … Continue reading → Continue reading →

People: Passive/Aggressive

Posted on November 2, 2003 by Susan

I do not like people who cause me to change too quickly into evil Susan. I like to slide into the transition at my own pace and at my own discretion. However, after decades of being “too nice” one finds … Continue reading → Continue reading →

PEOPLE: And Their God

Posted on November 2, 2003 by Susan

One of the neat things about believing in a God is that you have someone to scream at when things aren’t going well. And the drama; nothing can beat the effect of throwing your head back and looking to the … Continue reading → Continue reading →
