Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
This one is a bit abstract. We recently replaced our shower curtain. The water caught the light just right. I decided snag my phone and snap the picture. Don’t worry, I avoided getting my phone wet. What do think? Do you like abstract art? What pictures inspire you?
These three little dots confuse the heck out of me. I’m never sure when to follow the ellipsis with a period. If the thought is drifting off (not interrupted), and then switches in the next line, do I end it with a period? It was as if … Derek looked to the side. No, it…
This featured photo had me grinning as I took it. I debated on different names for it. I settled on: Ignorance Is… I’ve added a lightbox plugin to my WordPress, so the image should open in a nice dialog now. You won’t be redirected to Flickr anymore. It turned out grainier than I’d like, but…
I’ll admit it. I judge based on looks. I was given a book around Christmas time. After a quick flip through, I winced. The book was blatantly self-published. Now, I’m not saying I’m a pro when it comes to book publishing—far from it. Everything I know, I’ve learned through self-study. But even to my untrained…
I titled today’s selection Romance Writer. I have a slight obsession with notebooks, particularly leather bound ones. I received a new one, plus the awesome metal feather pen (it came with it’s own ink well *cheer*), from my sis-in-law for Christmas. The rose was courtesy of my super sweet husband. What do you think? Any…
If you’ve followed me for some time, you’ve probably seen me mention The Book Designer. Halfway through each month, Joel has a post about e-Book cover designs. I’m always looking for ways to improve, so I submitted Thanmir War for December’s collection. Joel will make comments just below each cover if he has them, and…
Among my goals for 2014 are blogging more often and improving my photography. Since I’ve read it’s best to keep topics light for the end of the week, I’ve decided to undertake Featured Photo Fridays! These will be images from my life (probably tweaked a bit with filters) that I’m particularly proud of. I kick…
Visit the main page on Alex Cavanaugh’s Blog. The term Author Platform twists my gut into a tangle. I know what it is, and I know what I’m supposed to do. But executing things like engaging people online is darn right difficult. A lot of the times, I read status updates or blog posts and…
Is it really here? A new year? Geez. Where did 2013 go? Time rushes past—a blur of memories. I think something happened this past year. Oh yes, quite a lot. I might have fried some brain circuits trying to remember it all. The big things are easy. I had a kid. I published a book….
To everyone out there, I wish you love, health, and happiness this holiday season. I leave you with a remake of a song I love.
