Stacy I’m home sick today, coughing up a lung, and being completely bored. There’s a strange program on the arts channel right now of muddy wild horses, silent except for the classical music accompanying the footage. I don’t recognize the composer, but it’s a violin concerto. Now the horses are gone and I’m seeing terracing ala the … Read more
My roommate apparently told another roommate that she thinks Tildrum is obese. Given that I’d just been noticing how much bigger Tildrum is than Mogget, this had me worried, because I had been thinking that perhaps Mogget wasn’t eating enough but that Tildrum—slight chunk that he is—was just normal. (Mogget, when you get him wet, … Read more
As sarazarr just pointed out, the Utah Arts Council’s Writing Competition is open for submissions. For my Utah friends, this is a contest for your novels that have NOT been published. I am thinking of at least two different people I know who should be submitting their novels or collections of stories. And this year is … Read more
I’ve never participated in Poetry Friday before, thing many children’s lit blogs do. I’m not even sure who started it–I just see it everywhere. But at any rate, my post about little cat feet made me remember that perhaps I might want to share just this one poem. Fog The fog comeson little cat feet. It … Read more

From the sound of the text, Baryshnikov was more of an advisor than a writer, and Radunksy wrote much of it. So it makes me wonder if it’s not so much a celebrity … Read more

I have only read 2 chapters so far, so you’re getting the benefit of my slow speed in my reactions between reading the first two pages … Read more
I didn’t hear about it till early this evening, driving across town when the BBC World News came on and reported the number dead. One of Mirrorstone’s authors teaches at VT, but as her post about it says, thankfully she wasn’t teaching on campus and is okay. It sounds like everyone she knows is touched … Read more
No fog came today, but I had plenty of little cat feet around.
You’ve caught me on a working Saturday, but I needed a break, so I paused to read a chapter of my much-anticipated new copy of Storm Front by Jim Butcher, the first book in the Dresden Files. As you might have heard if you read Meg Cabot’s blog (or, y’know, mine), there’s a new wizard named … Read more
A couple, actually, one I just found out about today, and one that I found out about a while ago that I forgot to link way back when. And I still owe you guys a complete links list, but then, I owe myself one too. Instead, you get a couple new blogs and one that’s … Read more
