F is for family, friends, freelancing, and fiction

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Erin

I had an epiphany this morning at 5:00, but I can’t use “epiphany” because E was yesterday. I suppose I could have used “F is for five o’clock,” but the time isn’t as important as the content. I was awakened … Continue reading →

E is for . . .

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Erin

Editing. (As in copyediting and proofreading, which I should be working on right now, instead of writing a post.) English Breakfast tea. (Current beverage, decaf variety.) Enough. (Although if we’re looking at the list of things I’m working on, I … Continue reading →

D is for daffodil

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Erin

Daffodils are my favorite flower. The second poem I ever wrote was about daffodils (the first was called “Clouds, hurl your spears,” and doesn’t bear thinking about), and although it’s not something I’m going to share here, I still remember … Continue reading →

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Erin

Or at the very least, computer hassles. Last night, I couldn’t get my computer to start. Pushed the power button — no light, no whirring, no lovely Mac “bong!” Tried resetting the PMU (power management unit), using a different power … Continue reading →

B is for blueberries

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Erin

Blueberries because my kids love them. Earlier this week, I noticed that I still had some frozen pumpkin to use and decided I’d make pumpkin muffins (with chocolate chips — for the extra antioxidants, of course) today or tomorrow. While … Continue reading →

Happy April, everyone! Although I’ve enjoyed some of the lovely pranks I’ve seen around the Net, there are none here. I made the last-minute decision to join the A to Z Challenge for blogging this month. I started this blog … Continue reading →

Sneak peek at things to come

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Erin

I tried to do a post by e-mail last night, but it doesn’t seem to have gone through. Nothing important — just my recipe for chicken noodle soup, which I made last night as the whole family’s under the weather. … Continue reading →

Happy spring!

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Erin
